-----------

[](#get-started)

- Create an empty object:

```

- Create an object from a file:

```
$phpWordObject = $this->get('phpword')->createPHPWordObject('file.docx');
```

- Create a Word and write to a file given the object:

```
$writer = $this->get('phpword')->createWriter($phpWordObject, 'Word2007');
$writer->save('file.xls');
```

- Create a Word and create a StreamedResponse:

```
$writer = $this->get('phpword')->createWriter($phpWordObject, 'Word2007');
$response = $this->get('phpword')->createStreamedResponse($writer);
```

Not Only 'Word2007'

[](#not-only-word2007)

The list of the types are:

1. 'Word2007'
2. 'ODText'
3. 'HTML'
4. 'PDF'
5. 'RTF'

Example
-------

[](#example)

### Fake Controller

[](#fake-controller)

The best place to start is the fake Controller at `Tests/app/Controller/FakeController.php`, that is a working example.

### More example

[](#more-example)

You could find a lot of examples in the official PHPWord repository

### Create a new doc

[](#create-a-new-doc)

```
namespace YOURNAME\YOURBUNDLE\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{

    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        // ask the service for a Word2007
        $phpWordObject = $this->get('phpword')->createPHPWordObject();

        // Create a new Page
        $section = $phpWordObject->addSection();

        // Adding Text element to the Section having font styled by default...
        $section->addText(
            '"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. '
                . 'The important thing is not to stop questioning." '
                . '(Albert Einstein)'
        );

        // create the writer
        $writer = $this->get('phpword')->createWriter($phpWordObject, 'Word2007');
        // create the response
        $response = $this->get('phpword')->createStreamedResponse($writer);
        // adding headers
        $dispositionHeader = $response->headers->makeDisposition(
            ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
            'stream-file.doc'
        );
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/msword');
        $response->headers->set('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'maxage=1');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', $dispositionHeader);

        return $response;
    }
}
```

### Edit a doc

[](#edit-a-doc)

In the template file(docx) variable should be declared as ${var1}, so in the template you can change "var1" value in this way:

```
$phpTemplateObject->setValue('var1', 'testValue');
```

Complete example

```
namespace YOURNAME\YOURBUNDLE\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{

    public function indexAction($name)
    {
      $fileName = ".../../test.docx";

        // ask the service for a Word2007
        $phpTemplateObject = $this->get('phpword')->createTemplateObject($fileName);

        $phpTemplateObject->setValue('test', 'testValue');

        $phpWordObject = $this->get('phpword')->getPhpWordObjFromTemplate($phpTemplateObject);

        // create the writer
        $writer = $this->get('phpword')->createWriter($phpWordObject, 'Word2007');
        // create the response
        $response = $this->get('phpword')->createStreamedResponse($writer);
        // adding headers
        $dispositionHeader = $response->headers->makeDisposition(
            ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
            'stream-file.docx'
        );
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/msword');
        $response->headers->set('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'maxage=1');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', $dispositionHeader);

        return $response;
    }
}
```
