I upgraded from version 4.0 to version 6.0 however now when I download a document then open it in Word it says that the document is corrupt.

Even if I just create a blank document link this:

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$docx->createDocxAndDownload($filename);

Why would Word think that the document is corrupt if it is blank?

Hello,

Which license of phpdocx are you using? You user doesn't have any license tied, only free trials downloads (phpdocx 4 and phpdocx 6 trials).

Regards.

We are using the trial version at the moment until we 100% that phpdocx can provide the functionality we require.

Hello,

If you create an empty document from scratch, the DOCX output will always be 'corrupted'. You need to add at least one content, use a template or change the default base template from phpdocx.

About your issue, it seems your server is returning a wrong DOCX when downloading it. Maybe your web server has a wrong config to return DOCX mime types. We recommend you to run the included examples and download the DOCX output using an alternative such as FTP just as test; the library is working perfectly.

Regards.
