PHPword无法打开流

Question

I have task that I am loading Tinymce Editor to my browser and edit it. After editing I am trying to save the editor value into Microsoft format and for this purpose I use Phpword class . I include the file path but I can't there is a fatal error said that require_once(../PhpWord.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory. I already put the Phpwrd.php in the directory that I am tring to access

my code is

require_once '../PhpWord.php';
$PHPWord = new PhpWord();

    $section = $PHPWord->createSection();
    // After creating a section, you can append elements:
    $section->addText($data);
    // At least write the document to webspace:
    $$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');

Answer 1

The Error you are having is because PHP cannot find "PhpWord.php". the code you gave it - '../PhpWord.php' will look in the parent directory of your current directory.

I have never had any good luck with relative paths and the require statement. PHP prefers a full path when using require_once. If you want to find the file using a full path within your own drectory you will use

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/PhpWord.php");

if you want to look for the file a directory abov, you will use

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/PhpWord.php");

I hope this helps. Good Luck!
