Hello,

Using addHeader and addFooter methods you can set first, default and even header and footer contents when creating a single section in the DOCX.

For example, to add to the existing section an empty header in the first page and a default header in the next pages:

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$headerFragment_first = new WordFragment($docx, 'firstHeader');
$headerFragment_first->addText('');

$html = '<p>HTML content</p>';
$headerFragment_default = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultHeader');
$headerFragment_default->embedHTML($html);

$docx->addHeader(
        array(
                'first' => $headerFragment_first,
                'default' => $headerFragment_default,
        )
);

$docx->addText('Text first page');
$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));
$docx->addText('Text second page');

$docx->createDocx('output');

This works for documents with a single section. As you are doing now, to generate documents with multiple sections with their own headers and footers, you need to create a DOCX for each section and them merge them using mergeDocx.

Regards.
