What are the potential pitfalls of trying to open a Word document and a new page simultaneously in a PHP program?

When trying to open a Word document and a new page simultaneously in a PHP program, one potential pitfall is that the Word document may not be properly handled by the browser, causing unexpected behavior. To solve this issue, you can force the browser to download the Word document instead of trying to open it directly. 

<?php
// Set the appropriate headers to force download
header('Content-Type: application/msword');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="example.doc"');

// Output the Word document content
echo "This is the content of the Word document.";
?>
