Hello,

Sorry, but we are not sure if we understand your question.

If you need to add a link when transforming HTML to DOCX, you can use the a tag:

https://www.phpdocx.com/htmlapi-documentation/html-standard/insert-link-Word-document-with-HTML

to add an external link or a bookmark link.

HTML Extended available in Premium licenses also includes phpdocx_link (https://www.phpdocx.com/htmlapi-documentation/html-extended/insert-link-Word-document-with-HTML).

Regards.

We are not replacing using htmltemplate. Genrating document using  $docx = new CreateDocx();

Hello,

Our previous reply can be used with documents created from scratch and DOCX templates.

Links can be added using embedHTML and addLink methods. And also cross-references with addCrossReference.

Regards.

Below is our function to add link to a placeholder - 

$fomattedURLWordFragment = addUrlLink($value,$templateDocx,$placeHolderName);
$templateDocx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(array('placeHolderName' => $fomattedURLWordFragment), array('type' => 'inline', 'target' => 'document'));

function addUrlLink($inputText,$templateDocx,$placeHolderName){ Â  Â 
    echo "In addUrlLink";
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $wf = new WordFragment($docx);

    //preg_match('/<link>(.*?)<\/link>/', $inputText, $matches);
    
    $text = array();
    //print_r($matches); //die();
    //$url = $matches[1]; // This will contain 'www.hdfcfund.com'
    $url = 'www.hdfcfund.com';
    $link = new WordFragment($docx);
    //$link->addLink($matches[0], array('url'=> $url, 'color' => '0000FF', 'u' => 'single'));
    $link->addLink($inputText, array('url'=> $url, 'color' => '0000FF'));
    $text[] = $link;
    
    //print_r($text); //die();
    $wf->addText($text, array('font' => 'Cambria', 'fontSize' => 6.5));
    return $wf;

}

This does not add link to the placeholder variable. Please correct the above code.

Hello,

Please check and run the following sample included in the package: examples/Templates/replaceVariableByWordFragment/sample_2.php . This sample replaces a placeholder in a template with a new WordFragment that includes an image, a link, and a footnote.

The problem with your script is that it's using a new CreateDocx object instead of the DOCX template object to generate the WordFragment. Instead of:

$docx = new CreateDocx();
$wf = new WordFragment($docx);

it needs to use the DOCX template object, not a new object:

$wf = new WordFragment($templateDocx);

Also note that if you want to add a link to a URL you need to use http or https:

$url = 'https://www.hdfcfund.com';

otherwise, a local link is generated.

Regards.
