Topic: Adding multi-line text

Posted by mdbollman · 20-12-2010 - 22:49

In a template docx, I am trying to add a signature to a single template variable. For example,

"Regards,
--
Michael Bollman"

needs to be added in that format to the $SIGNATURE$ variable in the docx.

However, when I do this the resulting docx file is corrupt. Is this not possible?

[code]$docx->addTemplateVariable(
array(
array(
'SIGNATURE' => 'Regards,',
),
array(
'SIGNATURE' => '–',
),
array(
'SIGNATURE' => 'Michael Bollman',
),
),
'list'
);[/code]

I think this will work.

Or [code]$docx->addTemplateVariable('SIGNATURE', "Regards,\\n–\\nMichael Bollman");[/code]

Hi,

Phpdocx is not able to add multiline texts as placeholders, the next version of phpdocx pro will add this feature.

Regards.

Hi,

Another trick would be to use a simple list without bullets.

Bye.

Phpdocx pro 2.1 include this feature.

Hello,

Please check intermediate/Template_multitext.php example included on phpdocx pro.

A short example is:

-------------------------------------------------------
$text = array(
'David Hume',
'-----------',
'Bye'
);

$docx->addTemplateVariable('NAME', $text)
-------------------------------------------------------

Using this code the template placeholder will be replaced writing a new line for each array position.

Regards.

Hello,

I recommend you to use replaceTemplateVariableByHTML to do that.

Regards.

Hi,

I am afraid I can't do that.

I am relying on array of data to generate table rows.

The number of my table rows is dynamic.

Hi,

But you can create a dynamical HTML that sets a table. Please check examples/intermediate/EmbedHTMLinTable.php example.

Regards.
