    Hi All,

    When I call createDocx the file output is fine but when I call createDocxAndDownload Word 2010 Windows 7 Home Premium x64 displays an error message saying that the file is corrupted.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,


    Liam

    Hello,

    Please check your MIME types. DOCX must have this one:

    application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

    Regards.

    My MIME types look appropriately set up.

    Please advise.

    Hello,

    Check lines 4638-4646 in CreateDocx.inc class. There're three headers that you can customize; If you post your web server and version (Apache, IIS, ...) we'll test it.

    createDocxAndDownload method uses createDocx to create the DOCX, so the file is the same but there must be something missing related to headers.

    Regards.

    hi there.

    I'm on a XAMPP dev server at the moment. Apache 2.2, PHP 5.4.4


    Its definately a header issue (im still new to headers so I'm not 100% ok with them) but I found a workaround:

    if I edit CreateDocx.inc and call ob_clean() and flush() (passing no arguments) directly after header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary); I get the desired output.

    Hello,

    We'll check that server config to solve any issues.

    Regards.
