Laravel blade file to word document

I am passing data from my controller to my blade file, and then want to export the blade file to word document, so far things are controlled, I can export blade to word document, the issue is the document is not opening in Microsoft word it says "word found unreadable content in 1.docx". Below is the code that I am using

$view = View::make('advertisement.advt_template.template_dr')->with('advtData', $advtData->first())->render();
$file_name = strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) . '_advertisement_template.docx';
$headers = array(
            "Content-type"=>"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
            "Content-Disposition"=>"attachment;Filename=$file_name"
        );
return response()->make($view, 200, $headers);

Any help will be appreciated

I'm using this and it works form me. You can try it:

$view = view('advertisement.advt_template.template_dr')->with('advtData', 
$advtData->first())->render();
$file_name = strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) . '_advertisement_template.doc';
$headers = array(
    "Content-type"=>"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
    "Content-Disposition"=>"attachment;Filename=$file_name"
);
return Response::make($content,200, $headers);

Here is the demonstration of how to accomplish it.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>  
 <html>  
      <head>  
           <title>HTML to Word</title>  
           <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" />  
           <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>  
           <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>  
      </head>  
      <body>  
           <br /><br />  
           <div class="container" style="width:800px;">  
                <br />  
                <h3 align="center">The Big Title</h3>  
                <br />  
                <form method="post" action="ROUTE_HERE">  
                     <label>Enter Title</label>  
                     <input type="text" name="heading" class="form-control" />  
                     <br />  
                     <label>Enter Description in HTML Formate</label>  
                     <textarea name="description" class="form-control" rows="10"></textarea>  
                     <br />  
                     <input type="submit" name="create_word" class="btn btn-info" value="Export to Doc" />  
                </form>  
           </div>  
      </body>  
 </html>

Controller/PHP

public function process(Request $request){
    $heading = $request->input('heading');
    $description = $request->input('description');

    header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");  
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=".rand().".doc");  
    header("Pragma: no-cache");  
    header("Expires: 0");  
    echo '<h1>'.$_POST["heading"].'</h1>';  
    echo $_POST["description"];
}

You could render your blade to HTML first, then use something like phpdocx to convert that HTML to a Word document.

This is part of my old project that loads the result of some view as a msword document. Of course you can change the style section as you want

header('Content-Type: application/vnd.msword');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.doc"');
header('Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate');
?>
<head>
<style>
@page {
    size: A4 landscape;
    margin: 1.25cm 2cm 1.5cm 2cm;
}
p { font-size:16px; margin-top:0; padding-top:0 }
table { font-size:14.3px }
h1 { font-size:18.5px; text-align:center;  }
h2 { font-size:16px; text-align:left; margin-bottom:0; padding-bottom:0 }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your html -->
</body>
</html>

I would try something like this:

<?php
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
  header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=document_name.doc");    
  echo "<html>";
  echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=Windows-1252\">";
  echo "<body>";
  echo "<b>My first document</b>";
  echo "</body>";
  echo "</html>";
?>
