How can multiple "sid's" be selected in a web form to export data using PHPWord?
To select multiple "sid's" in a web form to export data using PHPWord, you can use checkboxes for each "sid" and then retrieve the selected "sid's" in PHP to generate the export file. You can loop through the selected "sid's" and fetch the corresponding data to include in the export file.
// HTML form with checkboxes for selecting multiple "sid's"
<form action="export.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="sid[]" value="1"> SID 1
<input type="checkbox" name="sid[]" value="2"> SID 2
<input type="checkbox" name="sid[]" value="3"> SID 3
<input type="submit" value="Export">
</form>
// export.php file to generate export file with selected "sid's"
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sid'])) {
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
foreach($_POST['sid'] as $sid) {
// Fetch data for selected "sid" and add to export file
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->addText("Data for SID: $sid");
}
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('exported_data.docx');
echo "Export file generated successfully.";
} else {
echo "Please select at least one SID.";
}
?>
