I have downloaded phpdocx and I am testing my code on my local environment. I can successfully create a document from scratch with the following code:

$docx = new \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocx();

$docx->addText('This is a test');
$docx->embedHTML('<p style="font-size: 30px;">New paragraph</p>');
$docx->createDocx(public_path() . '/output.docx');

However, I am needing to create a document from a template. Everytime I do so though I get the following error message:

Error while trying to open the (base) template as a zip file

Here is my code:

$docx = new \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocxFromTemplate(public_path() . '/Example Template.docx');

$variables = [
    '1' => 'John',
    '2' => 'Allen',
];

$docx->replaceVariableByText($variables);
$docx->createDocx(public_path() . '/output.docx');

Also, I am attaching a screenshot with more error details below:

Can you try removing white space in name and use `_` instead in file name like `Exmple_template.docx` – Bhaumik Pandhi Aug 03 '17 at 15:44
@PandhiBhaumik Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried that and unfortunately I am still receiving the same error message. – three3 Aug 03 '17 at 15:47
do you know about config file of package you've used phpdocx? – Bhaumik Pandhi Aug 03 '17 at 15:55
also your application have read/write access? – Bhaumik Pandhi Aug 03 '17 at 16:16
@PandhiBhaumik Yes, the file and folder both have read/write access. – three3 Aug 03 '17 at 17:27
Please check this [documentation](https://www.phpdocx.com/en/forum/default/topic/762) – Bhaumik Pandhi Aug 03 '17 at 17:31
@PandhiBhaumik tried that as well and still no luck. – three3 Aug 03 '17 at 21:05
