Ryan,
You have a few problems.
1. A valid pdflib.upr
2. The correct AFM settings
3. A valid AFM version of Arial
If you are using the php4win distribution you should find the the pdflib.upr
in the php/pdf-related/ directory. I think the loaction is hardcoded at
compile time (though i think it looks through the path as well... try
checking the pdflib manual)
You will need to find a converter for your .ttf to an .afm (there are
several) check freshmeat.net.
Im actually at a clients at the moment, but i plan on writing a short
tutorial on the whole process in the next week if you can hold on. Mail me
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a reminder if you're interested.

I keep getting the following error on a line of the funciton below

$tempbox2=$this->arrayofboxes[$z];

}
Fatal error: Internal pdflib error: Resource configuration file 'pdflib.upr'

Anyone have any ideas what to fix on this. This function is just to print
out a portion of a report.

Hi Siggy,
sure: After Posting it, you should have an array
named $GuysName you can traverse now.

Hi
Sessions don't seem to be working with 4.04pl1? Any ideas. I had
to turn off display errors to get rid of Undefined variable problems
and errors about session data not being able to be tread from the
files, which are not being created? Please help any ideas?
track_vars is on and register_globals is on.
Thanks

I had a similar problem... seems to be picky about the session.save_path in
php.ini. Changed it from c:\temp to c:/temp and it fixed it. Not sure what
the issue is there...
Cheers, -mic

Hi Carlos !
>Thanks a lot for the help!! I´ve reinstalled Oracle Cliente (version
8.1.5.0.0) and PHP 4.0.4pl1 and tried Jean-Christophe suggestion, with
success:
Good !
If you find a way to bypass the $Connection from tnsnames.ora, send a mail,
i would prefer to
use the alias done with Orcale Client but it doesn't work, maybe cause of
the ORACLE_HOME that i've
not defined. But i've no time for php tests, i must work on VB for a month
at least 8-(
