RES: [PHP] Printing
Jim: The TCPDF software library does not need php pdf functions. Is 100% php code. To use only put a require_once '/tcpdf/tcpdf.php'; lik this. Create a new instance: $pdf = new TCPDF( 'P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false); And call the methods. The library has a folder with a lot of examples.

My customer use the system a prints from html page generated. When a need specific printing, I create a PDF file on the fly with TCPDF software library. I use this lib to create a printable version of a legal document as PDF on the fly, open directly in the Firefox o IE Is your server running near the printer? Is so specific that create a PDF file does not resolve the problem?

[PHP] passing variables to php script
OK...I admit I'm new at thisI have this html file: html head titleGenerate pdf file of LD, Toll Free, and Directory Assistance calls/titl /head body form action=Q:\ASTERISK\callrecs.php method=post pAccount Number: input type=text name=acctnum /p pYear (4 digit): input type=text name=billyear /p pMonth (2 digit): input type=text name=billmonth /p pinput type=submit //p /form /body /html to which I would input an account number, 4 digit year, then 2 digit month. Then click Submit. What I see in the error log is: [06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: acctnum [06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billyear [06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billmonth where line numbers point othe the following php lines: $who=$_POST[acctnum]; $year_to_process=$_POST[billyear]; ; $month_to_process= $_POST[billmonth]; WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?

Where TCPDF is focused on document creation, Pdftk is focused on document manipulation, and because it's a compiled binary that you install, it's very fast (and easily used from PHP via exec() and family).

On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 15:05, richard gray r...@richgray.com wrote: Can you not put a debug_print_backtrace() in the class constructor? Thanks, that might have worked. In the end, I found it by grepping for VisitorMessaging instead of vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging. It turns out that there is an array of the vB_ProfileBlock_* classes and they are called by vB_ProfileBlock_$className. I personally consider that terrible coding practice, but then again if vBulletin were well-coded then I would probably be made redundant so I cannot complain!

David PHP must be run on a server, it looks like you're attempting to run it on your local drive without one. Try installing either Xampp or EasyPHP, which will install the Apache server with PHP for you, and then you can run your scripts over http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
[PHP] Non required argument
Hello,
I have a simple function that contains an argument that is not required, ie:
function list_formvars($pmatch) {...
However, if I call the function without the argument, I get a warning
(I'm having the app show all warnings for development):
Warning: Missing argument 1 for list_formvars(), called in ...
Though the function works fine, how would I go about then making
argument not required. I've tried using an if statement with an isset()
condition, but perhaps I don't have the syntax correct?
Anyway,
TIA for your comments.
