I am using PHPWord to generate a report, but I don't find a way to keep the table headers in each page. The problem is that I can´t to give style to the cells and there is some space between the header and the main table.
I try this, but I think that is not the best solution:
<?php
require_once 'PHPWord.php';
// New Word Document
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
// New portrait section
$section = $PHPWord->createSection();
// Define table style arrays
$styleTable = array('borderSize'=>6, 'borderColor'=>'006699', 'cellMargin'=>80);
$styleFirstRow = array('borderBottomSize'=>18, 'borderBottomColor'=>'0000FF', 'bgColor'=>'66BBFF');
// Define cell style arrays
$styleCell = array('valign'=>'center');
$styleCellBTLR = array('valign'=>'center', 'textDirection'=>PHPWord_Style_Cell::TEXT_DIR_BTLR);
// Define font style for first row
$fontStyle = array('bold'=>true, 'align'=>'center');
// Add table style
$PHPWord->addTableStyle('myOwnTableStyle', $styleTable, $styleFirstRow);
$header = $section->createHeader();
$table = $header->addTable();
$table->addRow(900);
$table->addCell(2000,$styleCell)->addText('Row1',$fontStyle);
$table->addCell(2000,$styleCell)->addText('Row2',$fontStyle);
$table->addCell(2000,$styleCell)->addText('Row3',$fontStyle);
$table->addCell(2000,$styleCell)->addText('Row4',$fontStyle);
$table->addCell(500,$styleCell)->addText('Row5',$fontStyle);
// Add table
$table = $section->addTable('myOwnTableStyle');
// Add more rows / cells
for($i = 1; $i <= 1000; $i++) {
$table->addRow();
$table->addCell(2000)->addText("Cell $i");
$table->addCell(2000)->addText("Cell $i");
$table->addCell(2000)->addText("Cell $i");
$table->addCell(2000)->addText("Cell $i");
$text = ($i % 2 == 0) ? 'X' : '';
$table->addCell(500)->addText($text);
}
// Save File
$objWriter = PHPWord_IOFactory::createWriter($PHPWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('AdvancedTable.docx');
?>
My question is, is there a better option to keep the table headers in each page than this?
