    Hi,

    I was trying to run the following code from tutorial:

    require_once '../phpdocx_community/classes/CreateDocx.inc';

    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $text = array();
    $text[] =
    array(
    'text' => 'I am going to write'
    );
    $text[] =
    array(
    'text' => ' Hello World!',
    'b' => 'on'
    );

    $text[] =
    array(
    'text' => ' using bold characters.'
    );
    $docx->addText($text);
    $docx->createDocx('../word_documents/hello_world_2');
    ?>

    and ran into the following error:

    Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpdocx_community\classes\CreateText.inc on line 576

    It looks like the function addText is unable to use $text as an input argument since it is an array. Did anyone run into this issue? I tried to convert the array into a string by using implode method but it didn't print the value as expected. Instead, it simply printed "ArrayArrayArray".

    Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Kamal

    The arrays are not supported by the COMMUNITY version.



    As indicated in the API documentation it is only valid for PRO versions.



    The COMMUNITY documentation is bundled with the COMMUNITY package.
