Inserting Image into a Cell

[wjycoder]

Inserting images fails without any error messages since version 1.29.2. However, version 1.29.1 works normally

$filename = "path_to_file.jpg";
$drawing = new Drawing();
$drawing->setWorksheet($worksheet);
$drawing->setPath($filename);
$drawing->setResizeProportional(true);
$drawing->setCoordinates('A2');

A number of security patches were added in 1.29.2 (and other supported branches that were patched at the same time). One of those involved the addition of invalid images to a worksheet which could be used in exploits. Part of the solution is to validate the path as an image when a drawing is added to a worksheet. For that reason, you need to invoke setWorksheet after setPath. My apologies that this wasn't made clear in the release notes. Also for the absence of, say, an exception - that was a deliberate, admittedly arguable, decision.
