It is recommended that you install the PHPProject library through composer. To do so, add
the following lines to your composer.json.

require_once 'src/PhpProject/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpProject\Autoloader::register();
$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();$objPHPProject = new PhpProject();
// Create resource
$objRes1 = $objPHPProject->createResource();
$objRes1->setTitle('UserBoy');
// Create a task
$objTask1 = $objPHPProject->createTask();
$objTask1->setName('Start of the project');
$objTask1->setStartDate('02-01-2012');
$objTask1->setEndDate('03-01-2012');
$objTask1->setProgress(0.5);
$objTask1->addResource($objRes1);
$oWriterGAN = IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'GanttProject');
