What are common issues that can arise when using PHP to generate and serve RTF files?

One common issue when using PHP to generate and serve RTF files is the incorrect formatting of the RTF content, leading to errors or unreadable documents. To solve this, it is important to properly escape special characters and ensure that the RTF content is formatted correctly. 

// Example of properly escaping special characters in RTF content
$rtfContent = "{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\nouicompat"
            . "{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Calibri;}}"
            . "{\\*\\generator Riched20 10.0.18362}\\viewkind4\\uc1 "
            . "\\pard\\sa200\\sl276\\slmult1\\f0\\fs22\\lang9 Hello, this is a sample RTF document.}"
            . "\\par";

// Output the RTF content
header('Content-type: application/rtf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="example.rtf"');
echo $rtfContent;
