    Hello,

    I just purchased the pro version. (v2.4)

    Every document I generate is empty. Even if I try the examples. I did not get any errors. does anybody know what could cause this problem?

    for example:

    require_once '../../classes/CreateDocx.inc';
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $docx->addText( 'This is a test.' );
    $docx->createDocxAndDownload('newFile');

    I can download newFile.docx as expected. But it's empty when opening in Word 2007 (windows). If I open the newFile.docx in a other text editor it's also a empty file.

    I think I found the problem and solution.

    The problem is the standard temp directory where the docx files will be created by phpdocx. When I use it, it will give me empty docx files. I don't know exactly why.

    In my own project folder I made a folder 'generetedDocs' with write permissions for apache.

    I made the createDocx and createDocxAndDownload methods working with the new path:

    $docx->createDocx($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/generetedDocs/example_text');
    $docx->createDocxAndDownload($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/generetedDocs/example_text');

    now I've good filled docx files!

    Hello,

    On a next version of phpdocx we'll add a new method to change temp directory.

    Regards.
