用PHPWord读取* .docx

I'm using Laravel for my school project and recently found the PHPOffice library. I found some examples in the documentation but I still can't understand how to cope it with Laravel. Installed it with composer and now I want to read some *.docx file. Does someone know how to achieve that? I used this

class ShareController extends Controller {
public function share($hashed_name){

    $ds = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    $userid = Auth::id();
    $name = basename(__FILE__, '.php');
    $source = storage_path('uploads\\'.$userid.'\\'.$onlyFilename.'_0.docx');
    echo date('H:i:s'), " Reading contents from `{$source}`", EOL;
    $phpWord = IOFactory::load($source);
    // Save file
    echo write($phpWord, basename(__FILE__, '.php'), $writers);
    if (!CLI) {
        include_once 'Sample_Footer.php';
    }

}

But I get

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
1/1 ErrorException in ShareController.php line 34: Use of undefined constant EOL - assumed 'EOL'
