    I have a docx templates with multiple variables.

    The variables in my main docx ($VARIABLES$) are changing with the right value with replaceVariableByText.

    But in my footer, the variables (who contains sames values as the main ) are not changing (I keep $VARIABLES$ instead of the right value).

    My text in the docx footer seems embedded so I don't know why is it not working 

     

    I was maybe thinking that it is because my footer is another section in the docx but my footer is already Link to previous

    Hello,

    As default, replacements are done in the body target. You can set other targets: header, footer, comment, footnote and endnote using the target option available in template methods.

    We recommend you read the following documentation page: Replace placeholders in targets and also the Practical guide Working with templates. Both pages detail replacements with samples.

    Regards.

    Working thank you.

     

    I have just add :

     

            $options = array('target' => 'footer');

            $docx->replaceVariableByText($variables);

            $docx->replaceVariableByText($variables, $options);
