<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOfficePhpWordIOFactory;

// Load the DOC file
$docPath = 'path/to/input.doc';
$phpWord = IOFactory::load($docPath);

// Save the PHPWord object as a DOCX file
$docxPath = 'path/to/output.docx';
$phpWord->save($docxPath, 'Word2007');

echo 'DOC file converted to DOCX successfully!';
?>

Replace path/to/input.doc and path/to/output.docx with the actual file paths for the input DOC file and output DOCX file.

Step 3: Run the PHP script to convert the DOC file to DOCX format.

After running the script, the DOC file should be successfully converted to the DOCX format using the PHPWord library in PHP.
