odfphp
======

[](#odfphp)

PHP Library to create and edit OpenDocument formats like .odt, .ods, .odp etc. It provides Shortcuts to manipulate the files in an easy way. It is a fork of hanspolo/odfphp to supports newer PHP versions.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

This section gives a short introduction in the manipulation of documents.

The first example shows how to create a new document. $type can be *text*, *spreadsheet* or an other document type.

```
   $document = new ODF();
   $document->create($type);
```

To save the document, you can use the following code. $path is used as the path where the document will be saved.

```
  $document->save($path);
```

If you want to extend an existing document, you can load it with this code.

```
  $document = new ODF();
  $document->open($path);
```

After initializing your document, you can call:

```
  $content = Text::getContentBody($document);
```

or, if you are editing an spreadsheet:

```
  $content = Spreadsheet::getContentBody($document);
```

Now you can add elements to your document. ODFphp provides some shortcuts to do this.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the content of the src/ directory into your project. To use ODFphp you have to include at least the odf.php file.
