The version of fpdf shipped within PHPwiki appears to be 0.52 vs the version 0.53 in the debian php-fpdf package. There appears to have been quite some code reorganisation within fpdf between these two revisions so it's not immediately apparent if there are any changes that would be relevant to the interface between fpdf and PHPwiki. More importantly however, the PDF generation functionality in PHPwiki in the default configuration of the package appears to be broken (fpdf complains about data already output so it is unable to set the Content-Type headers), making it difficult to test whether swapping out the included fpdf for a packaged copy works at all. I'm tagging this bug as help needed as we need someone to determine if the PDF generation breakage is our fault, or an upstream bug and then act accordingly. -- Matt Brown [email protected] Mob +353 86 608 7117 www.mattb.net.nz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
