Create valid Outlook HTML Signatures, from a template with placeholders. Kind of mail merge for Outlook email signatures.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require pforret/php_outlook_signature
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Pforret\PhpOutlookSignature\PhpOutlookSignature;
$signature = new PhpOutlookSignature("");
$personal_details=[
    "person_name"   => "Peter Gibbons",
    "person_function"   => "TPS Manager",
    ...
];
echo $signature->create("initech/pgibbons.htm",$personal_details);
// this will create the pgibbons.htm email signature, and copy all required files into pgibbons_files/ subfolder.
// it will also generate a install_signature.cmd script for easy installation of the signature into Outlook (Windows)
```

Signature template
------------------

[](#signature-template)

- let's say you call your template `waffle`
- your template folder should contain 1 HTML file `waffle.htm`and one asset folder with all the extra files needed (called `waffle_files`)
- in the assets folder there should be a `filelist.xml`. If not, this package will generate one.
- images in the assets folder that are referenced in the template as `src="/"`will be included as (hidden) attachments of the email and always show up for the receiver, i.e. not be filtered out like external images
- the HTML template can contain `{information}` placeholders. They will be replaced by the actual value of `"information" => "..."` from the $personal\_details array.
- a template with an `{information}` placeholder that is not specified in the $personal\_details array, will throw an error.

Testing
