Requirements

Installation

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

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

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/PhpProject/src/PhpProject/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpProject\Autoloader::register();

Getting started

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

require_once 'src/PhpProject/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpProject\Autoloader::register();

$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();

// Create resource
$objRes1 = $objPHPProject->createResource();
$objRes1->setTitle('UserBoy');

// Create a task
$objTask1 = $objPHPProject->createTask();
$objTask1->setName('Start of the project');
$objTask1->setStartDate('02-01-2012');
$objTask1->setEndDate('03-01-2012');
$objTask1->setProgress(0.5);
$objTask1->addResource($objRes1);

$oWriterGAN = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'GanttProject');
$oWriterGAN->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.gan");
