How to use PHPOffice with CakePHP?

CakePHP is a PHP framework that provides powerful tools and features to accelerate web application development. PHPOffice is a completely open source office document solution written in pure PHP. It provides the ability to create and edit various office document formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In this article, we will explore how to use PHPOffice with CakePHP.

Step 1: Install Composer and CakePHP

To use PHPOffice and CakePHP, you need to install Composer and CakePHP first. If you already have them installed, you can skip this step.

Install Composer

Composer is a package and dependency manager for PHP applications. To install Composer, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt

2. Enter the following command in the terminal:

curl -sS https: //getcomposer.org/installer | php

3. Move the downloaded composer.phar file to your /usr/local/bin directory

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/ local/bin/composer

4. Make sure Composer is successfully installed. Execute the following command in the terminal:

composer --version

Install CakePHP

1. Open the terminal or command prompt

2. In the terminal Enter the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app myproject

This will create a CakePHP application named "myproject" for you.

Now that you have Composer and CakePHP installed, you can continue using PHPOffice.

Step 2: Install PHPOffice

To use PHPOffice, you need to add it to your CakePHP project.

1. Create a directory named "vendor", which should be under your project root directory.

2. In the terminal, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:

composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet

This will install the version of PHPExcel we need called "PhpSpreadsheet", which includes Many methods and tools for generating various office document files.

3. Make sure Composer is successfully installed and completes the installation of PHPOffice. In the terminal, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:

composer info | grep phpoffice/phpspreadsheet

If the output reads phpoffice/phpspreadsheet(x.x.x) (where x.x.x is the file you installed version number), it means that you have successfully installed PHPOffice.

Step 3: Using PHPOffice with CakePHP

Now that you have installed PHPOffice, the next step is to use it with CakePHP.

1.Add the following namespace in your Controller file:

use PhpOfficePhpSpreadsheetSpreadsheet;
use PhpOfficePhpSpreadsheetWriterXlsx;

2.Create the following method:

public function createExcel(){

 $spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
 $sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();

 $sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello');
 $sheet->setCellValue('B1', 'World!');
 $sheet->setCellValue('C1', 'From PHPOffice');

 $writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
 $fileName = 'hello_world.xlsx';

 header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
 header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'. $fileName .'"');
 $writer->save('php://output');

 $this->autoRender = false;

}

This method will create a simple Excel file and add some text to it.

3. In your view file, create a link to call the method created above:

Html->link('Create Excel ', ['controller' => 'YourController','action' => 'createExcel']); ?>

This will create a "Create Excel" link in your view file, When the user clicks the link, it will call the method created above to generate and download the Excel file.

Now, you have successfully used PHPOffice in your CakePHP project and can generate and download various office document files.
