Hello, I'm trying to create page, which will answer with a docx file.

This page creating file fine with "$docx->createDocx('file');". But  once i change it to "$docx->createDocxAndDownload('file');" file appears to be broken. And word cannot open it. Only one line change does this.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

The method createDocxAndDownload included in phpdocx uses generic headers to download the files. It these headers don't work on your server, we recommend you to check if your server is returning the right content type for DOCX files or use the method createDocx with custom headers or the function ob_start from PHP.

As you are using the trial package, after you have bought a license, please write to contact[at]phpdocx.com and the dev team will help you.

Regards.

Got the problem: server was also outputted debug info, which went into the file contents. Removed that output and all things now fine =)
