Edit text in PHP SDK

Use REST API to edit text in PHP programmatically

When developers modify a text document with this PHP library, what is actually being edited is the Document Object Model (DOM). Thus, almost any changes can be made to the text document represented as DOM. With the provided PHP SDK, developers can easily edit a document: modify text, update tables, add images and so on. Just load a text, make the necessary changes programmatically and export the result to the same or any supported save format.

Edit text in PHP using REST API

Our PHP library gives developers the ability to modify a text document directly by editing its Document Object Model (DOM), which means no additional software needs to be installed.

Edit text in text file using PHP

The most popular case to edit a text file is text editing. With the given software solution, you can add, modify or delete text using PHP within the document.

Edit table in text file using PHP

Another popular text editing option is table editing. Our PHP SDK allows you to work with tables and text in table cells.

PHP developers can add or remove table and table cells, as well as add, edit and remove text within them.

Add an image to text file using PHP

Besides editing text and tables in text, there is another common option: adding images to a document in PHP. PHP developers can also add an image into a text file using DOM.

Edit text programmatically

Try this powerful PHP SDK and evaluate some options in text document editing. Using the following example, load your text document and make some changes: add text, add a table and a table cell with text or insert an image into the text document:

Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
Upload an image you want insert
Select the target format from the list
use Aspose\Words\WordsApi;

$wordsApi = new WordsApi('####-####-####-####-####', '##################');

$requestDocument = "Input.txt";
$requestParagraph = new ParagraphInsert(array(
    "text" => "Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.",
));
$insertParagraphRequest = new InsertParagraphOnlineRequest(
    $requestDocument, $requestParagraph, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$insertParagraph = $wordsApi->insertParagraphOnline($insertParagraphRequest);

$convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    array_key_first($insertParagraph->document()->values()), "txt", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$convert = $wordsApi->convertDocument($convertRequest);
use Aspose\Words\WordsApi;

$wordsApi = new WordsApi('####-####-####-####-####', '##################');

$requestDocument = "Input.txt";
$requestTable = new TableInsert(array(
    "columns_count" => 1,
    "rows_count" => 2,
));
$insertTableRequest = new InsertTableOnlineRequest(
    $requestDocument, $requestTable, "", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$insertTable = $wordsApi->insertTableOnline($insertTableRequest);

$convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    array_key_first($insertTable->document()->values()), "txt", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$convert = $wordsApi->convertDocument($convertRequest);
use Aspose\Words\WordsApi;

$wordsApi = new WordsApi('####-####-####-####-####', '##################');

$requestDocument = "Input1.txt";
$requestDrawingObject = new DrawingObjectInsert(array(
    "height" => 0,
    "left" => 0,
    "top" => 0,
    "width" => 0,
    "relative_horizontal_position" => "Margin",
    "relative_vertical_position" => "Margin",
    "wrap_type" => "Inline",
));
$requestImageFile = "Input2.txt";
$insertDrawingObjectRequest = new InsertDrawingObjectOnlineRequest(
    $requestDocument, $requestDrawingObject, $requestImageFile, "sections/0", NULL, 
	   NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$insertDrawingObject = $wordsApi->insertDrawingObjectOnline($insertDrawingObjectRequest);

$convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    array_key_first($insertDrawingObject->document()->values()), "txt", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$convert = $wordsApi->convertDocument($convertRequest);
