PHPProject is a library written in pure PHP that provides a set of classes to write to different project management file formats, i.e. Microsoft [MSProjectExchange](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270139) (MPX) or [GanttProject](http://www.ganttproject.biz) (GAN). PHPProject is an open source project licensed under the terms of [LGPL version 3](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPProject/blob/develop/COPYING.LESSER). PHPProject is aimed to be a high quality software product by incorporating [continuous integration](https://travis-ci.org/PHPOffice/PHPProject) and [unit testing](http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPProject/coverage/develop/). You can learn more about PHPProject by reading the [Developers' Documentation](http://phpproject.readthedocs.org/) and the [API Documentation](http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPProject/docs/develop/).

### Features

[](#features)

- Create an in-memory project management representation
- Set file meta data (author, title, description, etc)
- Add resources from scratch or from existing one
- Add tasks from scratch or from existing one
- Output to different file formats: MSProjectExchange (.mpx), GanttProject (.gan)
- ... and lots of other things!

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

PHPProject requires the following:

- PHP 5.3+
- [XML Parser extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php)

### Installation

[](#installation)

It is recommended that you install the PHPProject library [through composer](http://getcomposer.org/). To do so, add the following lines to your `composer.json`.

```
{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phpproject": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Alternatively, you can download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPProject/releases). In this case, you will have to register the autoloader. Register autoloading is required only if you do not use composer in your project.

```
require_once 'path/to/PhpProject/src/PhpProject/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpProject\Autoloader::register();
```

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

The following is a basic usage example of the PHPProject library.

```
require_once 'src/PhpProject/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpProject\Autoloader::register();

$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();

// Create resource
$objRes1 = $objPHPProject->createResource();
$objRes1->setTitle('UserBoy');

// Create a task
$objTask1 = $objPHPProject->createTask();
$objTask1->setName('Start of the project');
$objTask1->setStartDate('02-01-2012');
$objTask1->setEndDate('03-01-2012');
$objTask1->setProgress(0.5);
$objTask1->addResource($objRes1);

$oWriterGAN = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'GanttProject');
$oWriterGAN->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.gan");
```

More examples are provided in the [samples folder](samples/). You can also read the [Developers' Documentation](http://phpproject.readthedocs.org/) and the [API Documentation](http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPProject/docs/master/) for more details.
