PHPPresentation requires the following:

• Zip extension
• XML Parser extension
• XMLWriter extension (optional, used to write DOCX and ODT)

It is recommended that you install the PHPPresentation library through composer. To do so, add the following lines to your composer.json.

{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phppresentation": "dev-master"
    }
}

Alternatively, you can download the latest release from the releases page. In this case, you will have to register the autoloader. Register autoloading is required only if you do not use composer in your project.

require_once 'path/to/PhpPresentation/src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();

The following is a basic usage example of the PHPPresentation library.

// with your own install
require_once 'src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();

// with Composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\PhpPresentation;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Color;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Style\Alignment;

$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPresentation();

// Create slide
$currentSlide = $objPHPPowerPoint->getActiveSlide();

// Create a shape (drawing)
$shape = $currentSlide->createDrawingShape();
$shape->setName('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setDescription('PHPPresentation logo')
      ->setPath('./resources/phppowerpoint_logo.gif')
      ->setHeight(36)
      ->setOffsetX(10)
      ->setOffsetY(10);
$shape->getShadow()->setVisible(true)
                   ->setDirection(45)
                   ->setDistance(10);

// Create a shape (text)
$shape = $currentSlide->createRichTextShape()
      ->setHeight(300)
      ->setWidth(600)
      ->setOffsetX(170)
      ->setOffsetY(180);
$shape->getActiveParagraph()->getAlignment()->setHorizontal( Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER );
$textRun = $shape->createTextRun('Thank you for using PHPPresentation!');
$textRun->getFont()->setBold(true)
                   ->setSize(60)
                   ->setColor( new Color( 'FFE06B20' ) );
                   
$oWriterPPTX = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'PowerPoint2007');
$oWriterPPTX->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.pptx");
$oWriterODP = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'ODPresentation');
$oWriterODP->save(__DIR__ . "/sample.odp");
