php - Issues Installing PHPword -

i've been trying install phpword last 4 hours , have had no luck. i've tried methods of installation including composer downloading folder itself. whenever run php file, returns me error "fatal error: class 'phpword' not found in /home/ubuntu/workspace/hello-world.php on line 9" also, seems whenever attached phpoffice/phpword in composer.json file, kept on giving me installation error saying no version specified. btw, running these files on cloud hosting website (c9.io).

i've attached composer.json hello_world.php

any appreciated.

hello_world.php

<?php require_once('phpword-master/autoloader.php'); \phpoffice\phpword\autoloader::register();  //use phpoffice\phpword\phpword; //use phpoffice\phpword\style\font; // creating new document... $phpword = new phpword();  /* note: element append document must reside inside of section. */   note: it's possible customize font style of text element add in     3 ways: - inline; - using named font style (new font style object implicitly created); - using explicitly created font style object. */ // adding text element font customized inline... $section->addtext( htmlspecialchars( '"great achievement born of great sacrifice, ' . 'and never result of selfishness." ' . '(napoleon hill)' ), array('name' => 'tahoma', 'size' => 10) );  // adding text element font customized using named font style... $fontstylename = 'oneuserdefinedstyle'; $phpword->addfontstyle( $fontstylename, array('name' => 'tahoma', 'size' => 10, 'color' => '1b2232', 'bold' => true) ); $section->addtext( htmlspecialchars( '"the greatest accomplishment not in never falling, ' . 'but in rising again after fall." ' . '(vince lombardi)' ), $fontstylename );  // adding text element font customized using explicitly created font      style object... $fontstyle = new \phpoffice\phpword\style\font(); $fontstyle->setbold(true); $fontstyle->setname('tahoma'); $fontstyle->setsize(13); $mytextelement = $section->addtext( htmlspecialchars('"believe can , you\'re halfway there." (theodor    roosevelt)') ); $mytextelement->setfontstyle($fontstyle);  // saving document ooxml file... $objwriter = \phpoffice\phpword\iofactory::createwriter($phpword, 'word2007'); $objwriter->save('helloworld.docx');  // saving document odf file... $objwriter = \phpoffice\phpword\iofactory::createwriter($phpword, 'odtext');  $objwriter->save('helloworld.odt');  // saving document html file... $objwriter = \phpoffice\phpword\iofactory::createwriter($phpword, 'html'); $objwriter->save('helloworld.html');  /* note: skip rtf, because it's not xml-based , requires different     example. / / note: skip pdf, because "html-to-pdf" approach used create pdf documents. */ ?>  

this composer.json require part

"require":  { "php": ">=5.3.3", "ext-xml": "*", "phpoffice/phpword":"dev-master" }, 

it looks installed since you're getting past autoloader statements.

the issue phpword not class, \phpoffice\phpword\phpword since it's namespaced.

so can try:

$phpword = new \phpoffice\phpword\phpword(); 

or add use statement towards top of script commented out:

use phpoffice\phpword\phpword; 

this allow call class phpword instead of namespaced version.

edit:

try this:

from command line (you've done this):

composer require phpoffice/phpword 

create file test.php contents:

<?php  require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';  $phpword = new \phpoffice\phpword\phpword(); $section = $phpword->addsection();  $section->addtext("hello world!");  $phpword->save('./hello.docx', 'word2007'); 

that should work.
