    How to add table inside table

    Posted by fairshareitservices  · 14-10-2024 - 05:22

    I have a requirement to add one table in one row of the outer table, the next table in the second row, and so on. Now the no of rows of the outside table and inside table are dynamic but the columns are fixed. The outside table has one column and the inside table has 8 columns. So how to achieve this using a template and class CreateDocxFromTemplate

    Hello,

    You can use WordFragments to add content to tables (such as texts with styles, images, HTML, links,  other tables, charts...). You can add WordFragments in new contents, for example using addTable:

    $valuesTable = array(
    array(
        'Title A',
        'Title B',
        'Title C',
    ),
    array(
        'Line A',
        $wordFragment1,
        $wordFragment2,
    )
);

$docx->addTable($valuesTable);

    and replacing placeholders in templates, for example using replaceTableVariable:

    $data = array(
                array(
                    'ITEM' => $wordFragment1,
                    'REFERENCE' => $wordFragment2,
                    'PRICE' => '5.45'
                ),
                array(
                    'ITEM' => $wordFragment3,
                    'REFERENCE' => $wordFragment4,
                    'PRICE' => '30.12'
                ),
                array(
                    'ITEM' => $wordFragment5,
                    'REFERENCE' => $wordFragment6,
                    'PRICE' => '7.00'
                )
        );

$docx->replaceTableVariable($data);

    We recommend you check the samples included in the package, which illustrate adding WordFragments to tables using addTable, replaceTableVariable, and many other methods.

    On https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/wordfragments-and-wordml you can read more information about working with WordFragments with phpdocx.
