OK. Here is my isolated sample code:
$fileName = 'test';
$columnWidth = 3000;
$template = WWW_ROOT.'files/templates/export-portrait.docx';
$docX = new CreateDocxFromTemplate($template);
$docX->replaceVariableByText(array('TITLE' => 'Test'), array('target' => 'header', 'parseLineBreaks' => false));
$docX->replaceVariableByText(array('DATE' => date('d.m.Y'), 'FOOTER' => 'UES ART COLLECTION'), array('target' => 'footer', 'parseLineBreaks' => false));
$docX->enableCompatibilityMode();
$docX->setDefaultFont('Open Sans');
$tableValues = array();
$imageFragment = new WordFragment($docX);
$paramsImg = array(
'src' => '/Users/tse/Documents/workspaces/web/ues-art-collection/app/tmp/thumbs//Samm3808.JPG',
'dpi' => 120,
'width' => intval(178.59),
'height' => intval(215.655849057),
'verticalOffset' => 0,
'textWrap' => 0,
'target' => 'document',
'spacingTop' => 0,
'spacingBottom' => 0,
'spacingLeft' => 0,
'spacingRight' => 0,
'borderWidth' => 0,
'rawWordML' => true,
'borderStyle' => 'none',
'borderColor' => 'FFFFFF',
'borderWidth' => 0
);
$imageFragment->addImage($paramsImg);
array_push($tableValues, array(
array('value' => $imageFragment, 'borderTopSpacing' => 10, 'borderTop' => 'single', 'borderTopWidth' => 4, 'borderTopColor' => 'DDDDDD', 'width' => intval($columnWidth)),
array('value' => '', 'borderTopSpacing' => 10, 'borderTop' => 'single', 'borderTopWidth' => 4, 'borderTopColor' => 'DDDDDD', 'width' => intval(2 * $columnWidth)))
);
array_push($tableValues, array('', ''));
$paramsTable = array(
'textProperties' => array('fontSize' => 9),
'border' => 'none',
'borderSpacing' => 0,
'borderColor' => 'FFFFFF',
'columnWidths' => array(intval($columnWidth), intval(2 * $columnWidth - 1000)),
'cantSplitRows' => false,
'tableLayout' => 'fixed',
'tableWidth' => array('type' => 'dxa', 'value' => intval(3 * $columnWidth))
);
$docX->addTable($tableValues, $paramsTable);
$docX->addBreak(array('type' => 'line'));
$docX->removeTemplateVariable('EMPTY', 'block', 'document');
$fileName = 'tmp/'.$fileName;
$docX -> createDocxAndDownload(WWW_ROOT.$fileName);
