Adding Image to the Excel in phpexcel in php - 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 ('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

I solve logo or images insert/showing problem use below code:
$objDrawing = new PHPExcel_Worksheet_Drawing();
$objDrawing->setName('test_img');
$objDrawing->setDescription('test_img');
$objDrawing->setPath('../images/logo.png');
$objDrawing->setCoordinates('A1');
//setOffsetX works properly
$objDrawing->setOffsetX(5);
$objDrawing->setOffsetY(5);
//set width, height
$objDrawing->setWidth(100);
$objDrawing->setHeight(35);
$objDrawing->setWorksheet($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet());
