Here you will find most up-to-date copy of library. Also, you can join development.

Usage of cells merging can be found in Sample scripts.

One is about creating simple .rtf document. Second is about creating tables in .rtf documents using PhpRtf.

Note: It’s possible, that after updating, your code which is using library will throw errors, and should be refactored.

• Documents with tables generated using PhpRtf Lite crashed in Microsoft Word 2000. Fix in Table::getContent method.

• Removed all call-times pass-by-reference from the library. Because with allow_call_time_pass_reference = false setting in php.ini, warnings were frown.

Also is changed Container::writeText() method declaration. Instead of variables are used instances:
Old declaration:
function writeText($text, $font, $parFormat = false, $replaceTags = true);
New declaration:
function writeText($text, &$font, &$parFormat, $replaceTags = true)

PHP 4 doesn’t let writing &$parFormat = 0 in declaration. So after updating library, your code, which is using library, should be refactored.

Instead of writing:
$sect->writeText(‘RTF PHP’, new Font());
or
$section->writeText(‘RTF PHP’, new Font(), false);

You have to write:
$null = null;
$sect->writeText(‘RTF PHP’, new Font(), $null);

As third argument is used null reference. Look at the samples for more information.

• Also removed possibility to use <page> and <section> tags in Container:writeText() method.
Instead of using <section>, you should create new section. Instead of using <page> tag, you should use Section::insertPageBreak() method (that’s done, because, page breaking shouldn’t be used in headers, footers and cells).

• In Rtf->sendRtf method added line: header(’Content-type: application/msword’).
• Fixed bug in ParFormat constructor. Didn’t work well with justify alignment.
• In Cell->setDefaultAlignment added possibility to set justify alignment.
