    Getting a [17-Dec-2023 18:53:43 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getElementsByTagName() on bool in ....    on line 897

    Its a valid docx file.  

    Tried debugging the library myself but got nowhere.

    Update... after familiarizing myself with your code, I determined that the problem was that the structure of my .docx files was much different then what you were searching.... 


    I didnt want mess with too many things so I added the below to your getFromZip method.=
     

    if(!$XMLData){

                    $XMLData = $this->_zipDocx->getContent(str_replace('word/','',$src));

    }

    Hello,

    If you send to contact[at]phpdocx.com a DOCX sample we'll check it. phpdocx handles many not standard DOCX structures automatically (such as those without a valid main section, the main document is not document.xml, strict variants and others). Maybe you are not using DOCX format but other OOXML document format? How has the DOCX been generated?

    Regards.
