1. Create template ods file
2. Put elements
3. Mark ranges
4. Load data from database
5. Render data through template file info your new ods file
6. Open in the LibreOffice Calc or other and enjoy

Requirements

Php extensions

• zip
• xml

Php version >=5.3

Recommended sowfware for templating: LibreOffice 5

Install

Put file OpenDocumentTemplate.php into your project, and use it

<?php
include_once "OpenDocumentTemplate.php";

//create object

$template = new OpenDocumentTemplate();

First simple report

Prepare your data

Data - is array in php. Recommend all object fields group in object name.

<?php
$data = array(
    'Report' => array(
        'name' => 'Test Report',
        'date' => '2016-09-25',
        'author' => 'Me'
    )
);

All fields grouping in the Report parent array. This method of naming provides a powerful technique for multidimensional data.

Design template file

Open the LibreOffice Calc. Create new spreedsheet;

add a 3 cells for next contents:

Save it with name sample_report.ods.

Render template with data

<?php
$template->open('sample_report.ods', 'sample_report-out.ods', $data)

And open new file sample_report-out.ods and you see in sheet:

Add second dimension

Add a key Cities for the list of objects

<?php
$data = array(
    'Report' => array(/* main Report data */),
    'Cities' => array(
        array(/* city data */),
        array(/* city data */),
        array(/* city data */),
        array(/* city data */),
    )
);

All Cities object must be have an identical list of the fields. In our example: name, streets, population

<?php

//Sample of one City object
array(
    'City' => array(
        'name' => 'Albatros',
        'streets' => 165,
        'population' => 1300000
    )
);

And all data

$data = array(
    'Report' => array(
        'name' => 'Test Report',
        'date' => '2016-09-25',
        'author' => 'Me'
    ),
    'Cities' => array(
        array( //first object
            'City' => array(
                'name' => 'Albatros',
                'streets' => 165,
                'population' => 1300000
            )
        ),
        array( //next object
            'City' => array(
                'name' => 'Turtuga',
                'streets' => 132,
                'population' => 750000
            )
        ),
        array( //next object
            'City' => array(
                'name' => 'Palmtown',
                'streets' => 18,
                'population' => 10000
            )
        ),
    )
);

Add a other object as linear dimesion

Add inforamation about the mayor of the each city, in the sibling key Mayor

<?php

$data = array(
    'Report' => array(/*...*/),
    'Cities' => array(
        array(
            'City' => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(
                'name' => 'John Do',
                'old' => 47
            ),
        ),
        array(
            'City' => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(
                'name' => 'Mary Ann',
                'old' => 32
            ),
        ),
        array(
            'City' => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(
                'name' => 'Mike Tee',
                'old' => 29
            ),
        ),
    )
);

Add third dimesions

Add a key Squares for the list of the squares in the each city

<?php
$data = array(
    'Report' => array(/*...*/),
    'Cities' => array(
        array(
            'City'  => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(/*...*/),
            'Squares' => array(
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
            )
        ),
        array(
            'City'  => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(/*...*/),
            'Squares' => array(
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
            )
        ),
        array(
            'City'  => array(/*...*/),
            'Mayor' => array(/*...*/),
            'Squares' => array(
                array(/*...*/),
                array(/*...*/),
            )
        ),
       
    )
);

Example Square object:

<?php
array(
    'Sqaure' => array(
        'name' => 'Trafalgaar',
        'length' => 23,
        'width' => 45
    )
)

And out $data finish version:

<?php

$data = array(
    //level1
    'Report' => array(
        'name'   => 'Test Report',
        'date'   => '2016-09-25',
        'author' => 'Me'
    ),
    'Cities' => array(
        array(
            //level 2
            'City' => array(
                'name'       => 'Albatros',
                'streets'    => 165,
                'population' => 1300000
            )
            'Mayor' => array(
                'name' => 'John Do',
                'old'  => 47
            ),
            'Squares' => array(
                array(
                    //level 3
                    'Sqaure' => array(
                        'name'   => 'Trafalgaar',
                        'length' => 23,
                        'width'  => 45
                    )
                ),
                array(
                    'Sqaure' => array(
                        'name'   => 'Square #2',
                        'length' => 23,
                        'width'  => 45
                    )
                ),
                array(
                    'Sqaure' => array(
                        'name'   => 'Square #3',
                        'length' => 23,
                        'width'  => 45
                    )
                ),
            )
        ),
        array(
            'City' => array(
                'name'       => 'Turtuga',
                'streets'    => 132,

                        'name'   => 'Square #4',
                        'length' => 23,
                        'width'  => 45
                    )
                ),
                array(

                ),
            )
        ),
    )
);

Design a spreedsheet

Well, we have a 3 level dimension array of objects:

In LibreOffice Calc they are called Range names.

Insert -> Names => Manage
