Phpword: PHP 7: Cannot use PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\String as String because 'String' is a special class name

[btaens]

The String class name is occupied in base PHP 7, therefore the class String throws an error.

Already fixed, but not released, so specify "php-office/php-word": "dev-develop" in your composer.json

When is the release due? I do not particularly want to use a develop branch release in production.

[MrMitch]

any news on this ?

[MicBehrens]

This should be prioritized.

[kehh]

This is included in https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/releases/tag/v0.13.0

[agwidarsito]

Is this included in a more stable release other than dev-develop?

[clemens-tolboom]

This works for v0.13.0.

@agwidarsito I myself cannot use develop version with Drupal but you can pin a dev version too using a commit hash version

"require": {
        "phpoffice/phpword": "dev-develop#fd156bf12a6d"
}

@clemens-tolboom Awesome, good to know. Thanks! :)
