Topic: Replacetablevariable doesn't render <img> tag

Posted by therasim · 23-02-2017 - 17:36

I'm using 6.5 version of PHPDocX, and I have a method that cleans a piece of HTML and then perfoms the following

// As an example: 
for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) {
   $html = '<img src="/var/www/images/image.jpg"><p>This is a test</p>';

   $element = new WordFragment($docx);
   $element->embedHTML($html);

   $table['elements][] = [
     'name' => 'Test',
     'description' => element,
   ];
}

// Later in the code
$docx->replaceTableVariable($table['elements'], ['firstMatch' => true]);

When I generate the code I can't see the image. The image has permissions to be read/write. If I switch and try to use addImage() method, PHPDocX complains that the image doesn't exist. Any hints on how to fix this, please?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

When you use embedHtml, images must be available through an URL (absolute or relative) and set the downloadImages option to true. You can't use a local path to add images.

If the addImage method is returning a file not found error, then the image is not accesible through PHP or it doesn't exist. We recommend you to run the included examples to test this method and check read access to the images you are adding.

Regards.

Thank you very much; adding the downloadImages option helped me with this
