[PHP] fpdf problem?
I've been using fpdf to create pdf files for my site. All has been well for over a year. Suddenly I have a problem wherein IE 10 on W7 crashes when I try to print one of these pdfs created by my php scripts. The pdf files that I create seem fine. If I bring one up in IE and then save it to my drive, I can then exit IE and go open the pdf and print it just fine. I have removed my pdf printer drivers from my system and that hasn't improved my situation. No luck there. The exact scenario is: - script generates pdf and opens it in a new target window; - user clicks on print toolbar icon or File,Print; - print dialog opens; here I see some problems in that the (very complex) dialog is not displaying correctly with controls misaligned or overlaying other controls; - click on Ok to execute the print to printer and nothing happens; wait 5 minutes and still nothing; - NOW the problems begin; when the window with the pdf in it is closed, in about 2 seconds I get a dialog box telling me IE has stopped working. Note that the problem only occurs when I attempt to print. If my script opens the pdf target window and I simply close it - no problems occur. BUT - if I actually open a print dialog I get a crash whether I click OK or Cancel, as soon as I close the window containing the pdf. My question is does anyone have problems with fpdf lately? Since my files seem to be completely normal to adobe reader I don't think their content is at fault. It seems more like IE is not handling them and I can't find anything online about this. I'm really hoping this is a problem wtih fpdf rather than IE since solutions are more apt to come out of this forum than the great wizards of M$ Oz. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: [PHP] FPDF passing values into header and footer?
Hi all. Whilst this question relates to fpdf (www.fpdf.org) I think it
really is a PHP question, because it involves passing values into classes
and functions.
Here's the problem .. I need to pass a PHP variable like $number into the
header of a PDF.
I have extended the FPDF class as follows
class PDF extends FPDF{
function Header(){
$this-SetFont('Arial','BU',12);
$this-Cell(0,5,'User notes for invoice number '.$number,0,'1','L');
}
}
I hate it when I ask a question prematurely, because I could have figured it
out myself. Getter and Setter functions are the answer.
function setNumber($number){
$this-number = $number;
}
$pdf-setNumber('12345');

}
The problem is, I can't figure out how to pass a value from the rest of the PHP
script so it can be seen within the function above.
I'm sure the problem is one of the scope of the variable but this sort of thing
is new to me and I can't figure out the syntax to make it work.
Before anybody suggests something like ...
function Header($number){}
Please recognize that the Header function is called automatically by FPDF and
not by my code, so unless I totally hack the FPDF class I can't do this easily.
Any suggestions please?
[PHP] fpdf adding font error
Hello gang, I know this is not an fpdf mailing list but if anyone has experience on the matter please help. I am working on a pdf generation part of a project and I am using fpdf to generate them. The content of the pdf needs to be in greek. But I am having difficulties to get the pdf generated properly. This means that I can't see the greek in the pdf file that is generated. I have tried to set the encoding to non-UTF since fpdf doesn't support UTF-8 but the problem still remains. As a second solution I am trying to add new fonts with the ISO-8859-7 encoding but it doesn't work as expected. The font is not being although I am following the fpdf's directions step-by-step. Does anybody know another way to generate pdf files with greek properly or can help me with the fpdf??

[PHP] FPDF Printing Ideas?
Hello all, I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm writing a new application that generates PDF's on the fly with FPDF. Basically I have a search page where you can search for customer records. Once your search has returned the records you can then click on a link which will send the record_id to the page that generates the PDF. And while this brings up the PDF and I can click on the printer icon to print the document, I want to be able to select multiple documents to print at one time. Example: [ ] 12345 [ ] 12346 [ ] 12347 [ ] 12348 [ ] 12349 [ ] 12350 I want to select the first and last record to be printed, so I was thinking I could od several things here. Since the Output() of FPDF cannot be sent directly to a printer I was going to 1) When someone clicks a checkbox, use the javascript onChange action to generate and save the PDF in the background. So, when someone clicks a checkbox, the page that generates my PDF would run without the user seeing it...this page would save the PDF to a folder on the server and once all checked items are selected the user will simply click on a Print Selection link which will point to a PHP page that just says to print *.pdf from that folder. 2) Allow the user to check all the documents they want to print and then when the Print Selection link is clicked, pass all of the checkbox values via $_POST to a new page which will run a loop that generates, prints and deletes the files. Does anyone have any experience or any better ideas to accomplish a selective multiple document print for documents that don't initially exist? Thanks, Dan

They will be printing 100-300 records in bulk...the amount of time it would take to generate one giant PDF file for all of the records would probably be insane and definitely much longer than the users are willing to wait. And also I don't believe you can loop the FPDF functions without it throwing an error.

Actually, FPDF goes even further than that, and (sort of) lets you overlay a FORM on top of a PDF -- which is probably overkill for what you need. There are several options for generating a PDF from your DB data, actually, but this one was worked well for me for a long time: http://php.net/pdf Note that this has a kind of funky license setup for commercial/non-commercial usage, so you may not find that appropriate for your needs though. In addition to the php.net examples, here is a web-based calendar that you can also print out and put on your fridge: http://uncommonground.com/events.htm http://uncommonground.com/events.pdf That would be useless to you without source: http://uncommonground.com/events.phps http://uncommonground.com/events_pdf.phps A bit messy code, and a lot of layout stuff you don't need, but it is a real-live working example :-) -- Some people have a gift link here.

[PHP] FPDF output to a variable
Hi List,
I have done some searching on Google and the Archives for what I am
trying to do, but it seems I am searching up the wrong avenues. Here is
my situation:
I generate pdf files with fpdf (fpdf.org) and I would like to catch the
output of the pdf stream into a variable so that I can attach it to an
email. The email and attaching the file to the email is working great,
but when I get the email adobe can not open the pdf. It seems that it
is not being decoded properly. I attach another pdf that is in the file
system already, but sense this one is created dynamically it is not
saved anywhere. I just am trying to get the ouput in a variable instead
of outputing it to the browser. Below is some code for the pdf and what
I was trying to do to send it.
The below code may have errors, I just typed it quickly in the email.
The concept is there though.
//Creating the pdf [create_pdf.php]
?
require(FpdfProtection.class.php); //
[http://www.cetusa.org/temp/fpdf_protection.phps]
session_cache_limiter('private');
session_start();
header(Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate);
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','font/');
$pdf = new FPDF_Protection();
$pdf-Open();
$pdf-SetMargins(3,3);
$pdf-AddPage();
$pdf-Cell(100,0,'This is the text to be put into the pdf.' );
$pdf-SetProtection(array('print'),'','87df9dfn43*%^uskaid');
$pdf-Close();
$pdf-Output();
exit();
?
?
//Get the output and send the email send_mail.php
//uses the class MIME_mail (http://www.cetusa.org/temp/MIME.class.phps)
//WARNING I know that this is not how it is intended to be used,
//but this is the what I want to accomplish.
$fp = fopen(create_pdf.php);
$pdf = fpassthru($fp);//actually returns the number of characters read,
I want the content of the executed path.
fclose($fp);
//END WARNING
$from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$subject='PDF FILE';
$message='Attached is the PDF file.';
$mail = new MIME_mail($from, $to, $subject,$message);
$mail-attach($pdf, 'Profile', OCTET,BASE64,'attachment;
filename=Profile.pdf');
$mail-send_mail();
?
Any help on this would be great. If you know of some search terms that
would get me going in the right direction that would be great also (I
don't mind doing the research).
If you need more clarification please let me know.
Regards,
Justin Palmer

looks like your missing the closing } to your class
proper indenting would probably help

[PHP] fpdf
Hi, I want to display the results generated by the query and generate a pdf document (using fpdf) for the users to save. The user should be able to save it by clicking on a save button. I have a script called display.php which displays the result of the query..now I want user to be able to save by pressing save button. That is I want to do this in the display.php script itself, because the result of the query is too large to POST to another script. If I do: $pdf-Output(/tmp/new.pdf); then I can save the pdf document..but I want this to happen only if the user clicks on save button and he/she should be able to download it by doing so. How to do this? Thanks in advance, Mukta -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] fpdf
The way I would do it is I would make the Save button (or link) point to display.php?save... Now in the display.php I would have it figure out if save is in the URL, if it is then it should output a pdf file instead of a html file. This does however mean that your query is done twice (once for seeing the results with the save button at the bottom, and then again when you hit save) If you only want your query run once then you must save the pdf on the first attempt and then set the link to something like /someUniqueNumber/file.pdf Does that make sense? If you need more guidance just email me.

Re: [PHP] FPDF and MySQL
If you look at the tutorial no. 5 on www.fpdf.org, all you need is to
change LoadData function, example:
function LoadData($condition)
{
$res=mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table WHERE 1 AND ($condition));
while($data[]=mysql_fetch_row($res) ) { }
return $data;
}
