Ok thanks,

I added the following code

$docx->addText('Contents',array('pStyle' => 'Heading1'));
    $docx->addText(' ',array('pStyle' => 'Heading1Line'));
    $legend = array(
        'text' => 'Click here to update the TOC', 
        'color' => 'B70000', 
        'bold' => true, 
        'fontSize' => 12,
    );    
    $docx->addTableContents(array('autoUpdate' => true,'displayLevels' => '2-4'),$legend);
    $docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page')); 

and the TOC is generated following the other contents. But when I open the generated file and try to update the TOC, I get the following error 'Creating a table of contents? Start by applying a heading style from the Styles gallery to the selected text. Any idea guys what this could be ?

Hello,

A content appears in the TOC if it has an outlineLvl tag and its value is in the range of the allowed values by the TOC. Maybe your paragraph styles Heading1 and Heading1Line don't include that tag (a name such as Heading doesn't create automatically an outlineLvl tag); internally, in OOXML, a heading style is a style with an outlineLvl tag. Phpdocx includes heading styles you can use:

an options to set heading levels dynamically (headingLevel):

This is explained on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/tables-of-contents (Adding items to the TOC section). We recommend you to read the documentation available on this page step by step and the example Core/addTableContents to understand how to use a TOC.

You can add contents to the TOC using a template or creating the document from scratch.
