What is odtPHP ?

OdtPHP is an oriented object libary for PHP 5+. It allows you to generate automatically OpenOffice text documents from templates. You can use it directly within your PHP scripts (without OpenOffice).

OdtPHP is very easy to use : with a minimum of code, you will be able to generate simple documents by replacing tags from template and by inserting some images. You can also take advantage from advanced features in order to create complex OpenOffice files by repeating parts of the document or lines of array.

Features

OdtPHP allows you to replace tags from your OpenOffice template by text content or pictures. The library also handles loops that can be imbricated as you want. Moreover, odtPHP allows you to simply repeat lines of OpenOffice tables. Eventually, you can export the final result in a file on your server or directly to the client browser.
