    Regarding the Issue with the file being corrupt. After searching, I found that there is supposedly extra html or php headers being appended to the end of the document.

    The workaround that others found and posted is as follows,

    [code]
    /*
    * Old code that was working but gave corrupt file that had to be recovered.
    */
    //$docx->createDocx('../phpdocx/phpdocx_pro/Output/MPS_Assessment');
    //$docx->createDocxAndDownload('../phpdocx/phpdocx_pro/Output/test');


    $filename = '../phpdocx/phpdocx_pro/Output/test';//<< My document is going to be called Test and placed in a directory.
    $docx->createDocx($filename);//<< Create my Document
    unset($docx);
    header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
    header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename.'.docx'));
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=MPS_Assessment.docx');
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($filename.'.docx');//<< Sends the file to the user for download
    unlink($filename.'.docx');//<< removes the file from the server for security reasons, comment out to keep if you want to retain a copy.
    exit;//<< REQUIRED TO STOP THE ANNOYING CORRUPT NOTICE
    [/code]

    Hope this helps you out, all credit to the original writers that posted over on stackoverflow
