Madrid, Spain, January 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- 2mdc, development company specialized in dynamic generation of reports, announces the release of PHPDocX v3, the latest version of their popular PHP library to generate Word documents in .docx format dynamically from a web server.

Available packages

The software is available in four versions:
- Free: allows dynamic .docx generation with LGPL license.
- Pro ($99): allows dynamic .docx generation with more complex formatting options like macros and other advanced features.
- Pro + ($149): equal to Pro version plus a set of advanced conversion tools to PDF, Doc, RTF and ODT formats.

PHPDocX v3 release details

The main changes are summarized as follows:

- The new version handles in a different way the embedding of Word elements within other elements like tables, lists and headers/footers. The majority of methods have now a ‘rawWordML’ option that in combination with the new ‘createWordMLFragment’ allows for the generation of chunks of WordMl code that can be inserted with great flexibility anywhere within the Word document. its is now, for example, trivial to include paragraphs, charts, tables, etcetera in a table cell.
- One may create sophisticated headers and footers with practically no restriction whatsoever by the use of the ‘createWordMLFragment’ method.
- The embedHTML and replaceTemplateVariableByHTML have been improved to include practically all CSS styles and parse floats. It is also possible now to filter the HTML content via XPath expressions and associate different native Word styles to individual CSS classes, ids or HTML tags.
- New chart types have been included: scatter, bubbles, donoughts and the code has been refactor to allow for greater flexibility.
- The addSection method has been extended and improved.
- The addTextBox method has been greatly improved to include many more formatting options.
- The refactored addText method allows for the introduction of line breaks inside a paragraph.
- New addPageNumber method.
- New addDateAndHour method.
- New replaceChartData method that allows for the replacement of chart data values in an existing Word document.
