Adding Image to the Excel in phpexcel in php

Question

I am taking the example from phpexcel

I just tried with passing value in GET Method, I am done with that.

Now i am trying to add image in the a3 coloumn.

Reference Code :

<?php $value = $_GET['value']; error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE); date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');  if (PHP_SAPI == 'cli')     die('This example should only be run from a Web Browser');  require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/Classes/PHPExcel.php';   $objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();   $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Maarten Balliauw")                              ->setLastModifiedBy("Maarten Balliauw")                              ->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")                              ->setSubject("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")                              ->setDescription("Test document for Office 2007 XLSX, generated using PHP classes.")                              ->setKeywords("office 2007 openxml php")                              ->setCategory("Test result file");   $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)             ->setCellValue('A1', $value)             ->setCellValue('B2', 'world!')             ->setCellValue('C1', 'Hello')             ->setCellValue('D2', 'world!');   $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)             ->setCellValue('A4', 'Miscellaneous glyphs')             ->setCellValue('A5', 'éàèùâêîôûëïüÿäöüç');  $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');   $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0); header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="01simple.xls"'); header('Cache-Control: max-age=0'); header('Cache-Control: max-age=1');  header ('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); // Date in the past header ('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT'); // always modified header ('Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate'); // HTTP/1.1 header ('Pragma: public'); // HTTP/1.0  $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5'); $objWriter->save('php://output'); exit; ?> 

Example Code for inserting image :

$gdImage = imagecreatefromjpeg('images/officelogo.jpg'); // Add a drawing to the worksheetecho date('H:i:s') . " Add a drawing to the worksheet\n"; $objDrawing = new PHPExcel_Worksheet_MemoryDrawing(); $objDrawing->setName('Sample image');$objDrawing->setDescription('Sample image'); $objDrawing->setImageResource($gdImage); $objDrawing->setRenderingFunction(PHPExcel_Worksheet_MemoryDrawing::RENDERING_JPEG); $objDrawing->setMimeType(PHPExcel_Worksheet_MemoryDrawing::MIMETYPE_DEFAULT); $objDrawing->setHeight(150); $objDrawing->setWorksheet($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()); $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');$objWriter->save(str_replace('.php', '.xlsx', __FILE__)); 

But i don't understanding how to insert the jpg in the a3 coloumn or any other coloumn in the excel file that i import.

How can i do this ?

Answer 1

Specifying coordinates for the image might help, as per the examples and the documentation

$objDrawing->setCoordinates('A3'); 

Note that an image isn't in a cell/column/row, but overlaid over the main sheet at the same position as that cell/column/row

Read my article,

http://www.7codes.info/post/8/export-excel-files-with-images-using-php-excel-library

$objDrawing = new PHPExcel_Worksheet_Drawing();    //create object for Worksheet drawing $objDrawing->setName('Customer Signature');        //set name to image $objDrawing->setDescription('Customer Signature'); //set description to image $signature = $reportdetails[$rowCount][$value];    //Path to signature .jpg file $objDrawing->setPath($signature); $objDrawing->setOffsetX(25);                       //setOffsetX works properly $objDrawing->setOffsetY(10);                       //setOffsetY works properly $objDrawing->setCoordinates($column.$cell);        //set image to cell $objDrawing->setWidth(32);                 //set width, height $objDrawing->setHeight(32);    $objDrawing->setWorksheet($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet());  //save
