Phpword: XML Parsing error; Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line:4, Column:2888

[annajeanine]

Hi everyone!

I am using this package to generate Word result documents from my Laravel application. But I keep getting a XML parsing error. For one page, where I want to generate 5 tables, all with three rows a document is generated, but when I open it, the error: XML Parsing error occurs; Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line:4, Column:2888. For another page, it works but when I have more than 7 rows a document is generated, but when I open it, the error XML Parson error location /word/document.xml, Line:2, Column:14349 occurs.

Does someone know whether this is a problem on my part or words?

Hi,
It comes from your data : you have a XML special character in it and when Word, parses your doc, it doesn't understand.
I solved this problem by using htmlspecialchars(). I'm not sure it is the best way but it works

[annajeanine]

How would you implement this in your code?

[ScoobyPorthos]

Hi,

The problem is that the xml generated by phpword is "corrupt" due to xml
characters inside user data.

Therefore by using htmlspecialchars(), it protects against xml characters
user data injection. The solution I found was to use htmlspecialchars()
before using phpword.

I hope it will help you.

Hi, thank you for this explaination but I meant more do you have an example code? I have tried

htmlspecialchars();
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

Which doesn't work and

$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$phpWord->htmlspecialchars();

Do you have an example for right syntaxing?

[ScoobyPorthos]

Hi,

Try this :
$section->addText(htmlspecialchars($yourData));

At the beginning of your script, you need to call the following so HTML entities get escaped

Settings::setOutputEscapingEnabled(true);
