PHPPresentation Adding Text After Using setColSpan() Doesn't Work

I'm try to add text following a colspan column and nothing I've tried has worked. Here is what I have tried so far.

// Create a shape (table)
$tableShape = $currentSlide->createTableShape(3);
$tableShape->setHeight(1200);
$tableShape->setWidth(960);
$tableShape->setOffsetX(0);
$tableShape->setOffsetY(0);

// Add row
$row = $tableShape->createRow();
$cell = $row->nextCell();
$cell->setColSpan(2);
$cell->createTextRun('Row 1 Colspan column 1');

$Cell = $row->nextCell();
$Cell->createTextRun('Row 1 column 2');

// Add row
echo date('H:i:s') . ' Add row'.EOL;
$row = $tableShape->createRow();
$oCell = $row->nextCell();
$oCell->createTextRun('R2C1');

$oCell = $row->nextCell();
$oCell->createTextRun('R2C2');

$oCell = $row->nextCell();
$oCell->createTextRun('R2C3');

// Save file
echo write($objPHPPresentation, basename(__FILE__, '.php'), $writers);
if (!CLI) {
    include_once 'Sample_Footer.php';
}

Here's what the result looks like:

Solution

  • Looks like it has placed both the texts in the first column with the colspan2 set

    So try this to place the cursor into the third column/cell

    $Cell = $row->getCell(2);
$Cell->createTextRun('Row 1 column 2');
