    I am trying to create and download a file using $objDocx->fCreateDocxAndDownload('demo1');
    However, while the file creates fine, nothing gets downloaded, the screen just fills with rubbish characters, sample: PKV}=e7§îq _rels/.rels­ÁNÃ0 @ï|EäûênH¡¥» ¤Ý*`%n­M¢ÄÀö÷4‰U*hr³c??{»;N£zç”]ðÖU Š½ Öù^Ãkû´º•…¼¥1xÖpâ »æFßö…G’Ò›³*0Ÿ5 "ñ1›'ÊUˆìËOÒDRÂÔc$s žqS×w˜.Ð̘jo5¤½½Õž"_Ã]ç ?ó6±—…ÈGaoÙ®b*ýI\YJµ”z 6˜ç’ÎH1V]„ðÒhÙos½ßï»ãÄB–„ЄÄÛ}U|ëá²Ðú?6¯ø±ùÉ¢=§—5 só PKV}=9²ŸiÓdocProps/app.xmlRËNÃ0¼óQî­Ó !Tm]¡VˆJ p¶ìMbáØ–í"ú÷lšÜð%;³ÞÑÌÆ

    What could be wrong that would cause this?
    Thanks.

    Please use createDocxAndDownload with phpdocx 2.0. When you invoke this method some headers are sended to web browser, to open a download window.

    Could you write a new comment with php code to try it?.

    Hi there,

    I am having the same problem.
    When I use createDocxAndDownload I get the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method CreateDocx::createDocxAndDownload() in /phpdocx/examples/easy/Page.php on line 41

    I have downloaded the latest package.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Tangent12,

    It's not the same error. Method createDocxAndDownload is only available in phpdocx pro version as you can see at

    http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/create_download_docx_word_document

    Regards.

    Hi,

    I'm having exactly the same problem. When I use createdocx it creates the file successfully on the server and I can download it and everything looks ok. I need to use createdocxanddowload but when I do it just puts binary information onto the screen.

    I downloaded and installed the software just today, Nov 21st. All the tests and creation on the back-end work fine I just can't automatically download the files.

    It happens in IE9 and Firefox 17.0.

    If anybody can help I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Kev.

    are you sure you do not send any character to the browser before calling the CreateDocxAndDownload method?
