The tinyDoc class

The class can be used alone and have almost functionality as the plugin for symfony framework.

An example of code

  // libs
  include('your-path-to-lib/tinyButStrong.class.php');
  include('your-path-to-lib/tinyDoc.class.php');

  // create the document
  $doc = new tinyDoc();
  $doc->setZipMethod('shell');
  $doc->setZipBinary('zip');
  $doc->setUnzipBinary('unzip');
  $doc->setProcessDir('./tmp');

  $doc->createFrom('templates/your-document.odt');
  $doc->loadXml('content.xml');
  $doc->mergeXmlField('field1', 'variable');
  $doc->mergeXmlField('field2', array('id' => 55, 'name' => 'bob'));
  $doc->mergeXmlBlock('block1',
    array(
      array('firstname' => 'John'   , 'lastname' => 'Doe'),
      array('firstname' => 'Douglas', 'lastname' => 'Adams'),
      array('firstname' => 'Roger'  , 'lastname' => 'Waters'),
    )
  );
  $doc->saveXml();
  $doc->close();

  // send and remove the document
  $doc->sendResponse();
  $doc->remove();

The main differences with the plugin is to instanciate the class with new tinyDoc() and to fix the parameters. That's all.

Replace

  // create the document
  $doc = new sfTinyDoc();

by

  // create the document
  $doc = new tinyDoc();
  $doc->setZipMethod('shell');
  $doc->setZipBinary('zip');
  $doc->setUnzipBinary('unzip');
  $doc->setProcessDir('./tmp');

or if you want to use ZipArchive

  // create the document
  $doc = new tinyDoc();
  $doc->setZipMethod('ziparchive');
  $doc->setProcessDir('./tmp');

and load the lib

  // libs
  include('your-path-to-lib/tinyButStrong.class.php');
  include('your-path-to-lib/tinyDoc.class.php');
