I'm creating a Content Management system in which the user will have to
attach a pdf document to an article. This is no problem, I copy the document
to a specific pdf folder and store the document name in the DB to use on the
front end.
On the front end I loop through all documents that are online and print the
title, display pdf icon, print pdf name and description and link to the
document (in the specific pdf folder)
<a href='pdf/$pdf[$i]'><img src='images/icon_mini_pdf.gif'
border='0'></a><i>$pdf[$i]</i>
where $pdf[$i] is the pdf name (for each $i)
I have tried this with a number of pdf documents, with certain documents I
get parser errors! (Could there be problems with the document itself?
On the majority I get the standard windows popup message asking to me to
open online or save locally. If I open online nothing happens! Acrobat
reader opens and then closes straight away! If I go to save, it
automatically puts the extension html on the file name! If i change this to
pdf I can save it ok and I can open it without problems.
Are there certain options in the php.ini or Apache.conf file I need to
enable to view pdf files in php? I have seen the extension
;extension=php_pdf.dll commented out.
Anyone any ideas?
