I am using addSection to cause a page break to an odd numbered page. This is useful when starting a new chapter of a book. $docx->addSection('oddPage', 'A4',$layout); In this case the new section does start on an odd page so this portion is working.
We're having problems using addSection in that a blank page is not created as a result of the page break. The Introduction begins on page 3. Then we issue an addSection for the first chapter. This results in the first chapter starting on page 5 -- all good. The problem is the resulting document does not contain a page 4 -- it skips directly from page 3 to page 5.
I hope we will be able to use addSection instead of keeping track of the page numbering in php.
Hello,
Please try adding a page break using this method:

before or after you add a new section.

Hi There,
Thank you for your feedback on this topic. I tried what you suggested but we did not obtain the desired result.
$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));
The line above will add a page break to the document. It does this without regard to if the break will take the document to an Odd or Even page. This is the purpose of a section break with Even or Odd specified as you can see here:

Do you have the ability to recreate the problem? Greg
