Installation

Composer method

It is recommended that you install the PHPPresentation library through composer. To do so, add the following lines to your composer.json.

{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phppresentation": "dev-master"
    }
}

Manual download method

Alternatively, you can download the latest release from the releases page. In this case, you will have to register the autoloader. (Register autoloading is required only if you do not use composer in your project.)

require_once 'path/to/PhpPresentation/src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();

You will also need to download the latest PHPOffice/Common release from its releases page. And you will also have to register its autoloader, too.

require_once 'path/to/PhpOffice/Common/src/Common/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\Common\Autoloader::register();

Getting started

The following is a basic usage example of the PHPPresentation library.

// with your own install
require_once 'src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();
require_once 'src/Common/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\Common\Autoloader::register();

// with Composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\PhpPresentation;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Color;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Alignment;

$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPresentation();

// Create slide
$currentSlide = $objPHPPowerPoint->getActiveSlide();

// Create a shape (drawing)
$shape = $currentSlide->createDrawingShape();
$shape->setName('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setDescription('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setPath('./resources/phppowerpoint_logo.gif')
      ->setHeight(36)
      ->setOffsetX(10)
      ->setOffsetY(10);
$shape->getShadow()->setVisible(true)
                   ->setDirection(45)
                   ->setDistance(10);

// Create a shape (text)
$shape = $currentSlide->createRichTextShape()
      ->setHeight(300)
      ->setWidth(600)
      ->setOffsetX(170)
      ->setOffsetY(180);
$shape->getActiveParagraph()->getAlignment()->setHorizontal( Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER );
$textRun = $shape->createTextRun('Thank you for using PHPPresentation!');
$textRun->getFont()->setBold(true)
                   ->setSize(60)
                   ->setColor( new Color( 'FFE06B20' ) );

$oWriterPPTX = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'PowerPoint2007');
$oWriterPPTX->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.pptx");
$oWriterODP = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'ODPresentation');
$oWriterODP->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.odp");

More examples are provided in the samples folder. You can also read the Developers' Documentation and the API Documentation for more detail.
