Wrap PHPWord on bundle

Question

I just want to use PHPWord for Symfony 2. But Im new on Symfony 2.

I paste PHPWord source into my util folder bundle but there is an error loading autoloader class from PHPWord...

Question is simple, How can I "wrap" code (in this case PHPWord) in to bundle? or someway I can use it.

Any solution?

---

Thanks for answering, that gives me some light. Altough, This doen't work for me. I download composer.phar and I edit my composer.json as you say: adding in my require region "phpword/phpword": "0.6.2" and creating new repository phpword...

Doesn't work, I run "php composer.phar" command but It doesn't download anything...

Any tutorial or tip to make this work?

Thank you

You shouldn't be copying the source code yourself. Use composer to install PHPWord.

Since PHPWord doesn't use composer (yet), you'll need to define a repository in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "phpword/phpword": "0.6.2"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "phpword/phpword",
                "version": "0.6.2",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=phpword&DownloadId=138035&FileTime=129545976016270000&Build=19692",
                    "type": "zip"
                },
                "autoload": {
                    "classmap": ["."]
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Than you'll be able to use PHPWord in your Symfony project (any PHP project in fact):

$word = new PHPWord();
$writer = new PHPWord_Writer_Word2007($word);
$writer->save('test.doc');

Update: I just realized the URL to download changes with time. It'd be better to replace it with something that doesn't change (if possible, otherwise host it somewhere yourself).
