    I want to achieve one thing.

    I want to make one file that contains several pages, every page should look the same as the others except for some bits of info. I have a template that I try to import and make a foreach loop and create one file, something like

    [code]
    require_once 'CreateDocx.inc';
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addTemplate('pink.docx');
    foreach ($allthings as $allthing)
    {


    $docx->addHeader($header, $paramsHeader);

    $docx->addTemplateVariable('INFO', $allthing->info);
    $docx->addTemplateVariable('INFO"', $allthing->info2);
    $docx->addTemplateVariable('CONCATINFO3AND4', $allthing->info3 . ' ' . $allthing->info4);

    $docx->addBreak('page');
    }
    $filename = $allthing->info;
    $docx->createDocx($filename);[/code]

    but only one page is created...ideas?

    Hello,

    There's an example of that in intermediate/Multidocument.inc file. It's for new documents but it's the same for templates.

    Regards.

    Hi again!

    I don't know if you missunderstod me or the other way around...

    I want to make just ONE file.

    I want to make some kind of loop where the template is used over and over again and a new template variable is new for each run...

    Hope for this to solve!

    Thanx in advance!

    Hello,

    UPDATE: BulkProcessing included in Premium licenses is the best approach for this task.


    We undertstood you. You need to create as many documents as needed and then merge them to a single document. You can't do it with just one method.

    Regards.
