PHPOffice/PHPWord
PHPWord
PHPWord is a PHP word processing library used for programmatically reading and writing word processing documents. It functions as an OOXML document generator, a word file parser, and a document template engine.
The library enables the generation of new documents by applying structured data to existing templates or by creating files from scratch. It provides capabilities for extracting and parsing content, metadata, and structure from existing word processing files.
The project covers a broad range of document generation features, including layout formatting, metadata management, and the insertion of structural elements like tables, lists, and hyperlinks. It also supports the creation of interactive forms, the rendering of data visualizations such as charts, and the embedding of media and geometric shapes.
Additional capabilities include document encryption and protection settings to restrict unauthorized access or editing.
