i though i found the answer here:
Serving .docx files through Php
But i am still getting the error that the file is corrupt when trying to download and open a docx server via php
Maybe you can see something wrong with my code. The .doc works fine it is the docx that fail.

$parts = pathinfo($doc);
$docFile = $userDocRoot.$doc;
if ( !file_exists($docFile) ){
    throw new Exception("Can not find ".$parts ['basename']." on server");
}
if ( $parts['extension'] == 'docx' ){
    header('Content-type: application/vnd.openxmlformats- officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$parts['basename'].'"');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($docFile);
}else{
   header('Content-type: application/msword');
   header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$parts['basename'].'"');
   readfile($docFile);
}

    The solution for me was to add

     $fsize = filesize($docFile);
     header("Content-Length: ".$fsize);
    

    Thanks for everyones help
