Hello,

You need to use the CreateDocxFromTemplate class to use the template methods. This class inherits CreateDocx.

We recommend you to check the included samples in the package, the API page (https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/templates/replace-variable-html-Word-document) and the practical guide (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/working-with-templates).

Regards.

Thanks, although these instructions don't match the version I downloaded, all the classes are stored in various folders, starting:

\Classes\Phpdocx\

with CreateDocx in:

\Classes\Phpdocx\Create

so to get working I added: 
require_once 'Classes/Phpdocx/Create/CreateDocx.inc';

but no other functions work, unless I create further includes:
require_once 'Classes/Phpdocx/Elements/WordFragment.inc';

So any ideas on how to resolve this please?

Hello,

We recommend you to check the included samples in your package and the practical guide explains how to use both packages (classic and namespaces). For example on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/working-with-templates you can read about how to use the included autoloader or you can integrate it with Composer (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/integrate-phpdocx-with-composer).

For example, the included sample Core\addText\sample_3.php that use CreateDocx and WordFragment:

<?php

require_once '../../../Classes/Phpdocx/Create/CreateDocx.inc';

$docx = new Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocx();

//create a Word fragment with an image
$image = new Phpdocx\Elements\WordFragment($docx);
$imageOptions = array(
    'src' => '../../img/image.png',
    'scaling' => 50, 
    'float' => 'right',
    'textWrap' => 1 
    );
$image->addImage($imageOptions);

The library includes various folders because each folder is a PHP namespace (this is how PHP namespaces work). If you don't want to use PHP namespaces, you can download and use the classic package on MY PHPDOCX page after login.

Regards.
