Centre Table In PHPDOCX - php

Question

I am dynamically creating a msword document in PHP using PHPDocx (free version).
I am having trouble get a table to centre align in the page. I have tried passing in the style parameters as stated in the documentation, but no joy.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
My current code is;
$docx = new CreateDocx();
$valuesTable = array(
array(
11,
12
),
array(
21,
22
),
);
$paramsTable = array(
'jc' => 'center',
'border' => 'single',
'border_sz' => 20
);
$docx->addTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);
$docx->createDocx('example_table');

I had the same problem. If you looking at CreateTable source you can see that method for aligning generateJC() is never called so passing a 'jc' parameter has no effect (this is the same with most of the options).
You can override this creating a new class like:
class SmCreateTable extends CreateTable{
public function createTable()
{
$this->_xml = '';
$args = func_get_args();
if (is_array($args[0])) {
$this->generateTBL();
$this->generateTBLPR();
if(!empty($args[1]['jc'])){
$this->generateJC($args[1]['jc']);
}
$this->generateTBLW();
if (!empty($args[1]['border'])) {
$this->generateTBLBORDERS();
$this->generateTBLBOTTOM();
$this->generateTBLLEFT();
$this->generateTBLTOP();
$this->generateTBLRIGHT();
$this->generateTBLINSIDEH();
$this->generateTBLINSIDEV();
}
$this->generateTBLLOOK();
$this->generateTBLOVERLAP();
$intLine = 0;
foreach ($args[0] as $datDepth) {
$this->generateTR();
$intLine++;
foreach ($datDepth as $cont) {
$this->generateTC();
$this->generateP();
$this->generateR();
if ($args[1]['font'] != '') {
$this->generateRPR();
$this->generateRFONTS($args[1]['font']);
}
$this->generateT($cont);
}
$this->cleanTemplateR();
}
}
}
private function cleanTemplateR()
{
$this->_xml = preg_replace('/__GENERATETR__/', '', $this->_xml);
}
}
and then calling:
$table = new SmCreateTable();
$table->createTable($valuesTable, $paramsTable);
