Dear all,
before I have used fpdf and fpdi for gererating pdfs on the fly. But it doesn't support siple formatting, like I get from tiny mce.
So I am tryng to switch to dompdf.
Like documentated I am using it like:
[code]
<?php require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html =<head></head><body>my text ....</body></html>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
// add the header
$canvas = $dompdf->get_canvas();
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
// the same call as in my previous example
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
[/code]
Where and how do I have to add scripts like <script type="text/php">?
Normally the $html-var is a long string.
But setting it before "$html=" I got an error.
As well when I tried something like:
'<h2>Section 1'.$PAGE_NUM.'</h2>'
php is enabled in dompdf_config.inc.php.
def("DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP", true);
What are my goals?
1. Generate a pdf from a form of tiny mce (lightweight formatting editor) The above google one would be enough.
2. I would like to add a different header starting at the 2nd page.
I tried something like
if($PAGE_NUM>1) $html=$html.'xyz';
else
echo $html=$html.'abc';
Thirdly would it be nice to add an existing pdf at the end automatically, This is not that important as this could be added via database.
Please help. :)
regards
Oliver

If you want to run inline scripts your script text must be inside the HTML document contained in the BODY element. So something like the following:
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
That's not really how you use inline script. But if what you want is the page number you can do it via CSS:
So work on this first. Make sure you understand how to convert HTML to PDF. Also spend some time learning about inline PHP and make sure you understand how it works. You can find some example inline script in the FAQ on the old wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/FAQ
And you're gonna need to know inline script it if you want to do your next goal:
You can't really do this with an unmodified copy of dompdf. It's sole purpose is to convert from HTML to PDF. You could use it in tandem with another library, creating your PDF in dompdf and combining it with another PDF using the other library.

You don't quite have it. The sample that you're looking at is all part of the HTML document. The <script> content in that sample belong inside the HTML, not extracted as part of the PHP document performing the PDF render. dompdf (if set up to do so) will parse these scripts as part of the rendering process. That's why they're surrounded by the HTML <script> tags.
And this is probably why you're having the following problem:

You probably have output buffering enabled. PHP is attempting to send errors to the browser, but with buffering enabled the errors are getting caught in the PDF stream. If you open your PDF in a text file you'll probably see the errors at the top of the document. You should either disable output buffering or disable displaying errors to the web browser (you can send them to a log file instead).

Hm,
looks like I have a lack of understanding...
If I got it right, every output is written into a variable:
eg $content="<html><head></head><body>.. my text ...<script>.....</script></body></html>";
Than I have to sent $content to the dompdf stuff,right?
But when I do this, I have the problem :
Line 27: <script type='text/php'>
$GLOBALS['header'][] = array();
$GLOBALS['footer'] = NULL;
</script>
Normally a string has do be encaptured with " or ' like $variable="text text text".$anothervar."text tect";
So it looks like these <string> Operator is ignored?
Thanks Brian for your help! :)

Everything from that sample file goes into the same variable. You're getting an error because the script stuff should also go in as-is. It's not parsed then placed in the variable.
Let me try to simplify this. I'm adding ellipses to shorten the content. Your script should look like the following:
<script type='text/php'>
$GLOBALS['header'][] = array();
$GLOBALS['footer'] = NULL;
</script>
<script type='text/php'>$GLOBALS['header'][] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
<div class='content'>Page <span class='pagenum'></span></div>
<script type='text/php'>$pdf->close_object();</script>
</div>
<div class='footer'>
<script type='text/php'>$GLOBALS['footer'] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
<div class='content'>Copyright ©. All rights reserved.</div>
<script type='text/php'>$pdf->close_object();</script>
$pdf->page_script('
if ($PAGE_NUM >= 2) {
$pdf->add_object($GLOBALS['header'][$PAGE_NUM],'add');
$pdf->add_object($GLOBALS['footer'],'add');
}
');
</script>
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
?>

Dear Brian,
first thanks for your patience.
Here I gave you a screenshot of my reduced source.
http://screencast.com/t/6KHHgIDiH7L
It says there is an error at $GLOBALS['header'][] = array();
So problems with the ' inside the ['header']
I cut the whole text to 3 lines. As you casn see in the ss.
Or is it any misconfiguration from my apache?
Best from Ger

So problems with the ' inside the ['header']
I cut the whole text to 3 lines. As you casn see in the ss.
Or is it any misconfiguration from my apache?
Best from Ger

I would reverse the quotes usage in this instance. You don't want PHP to parse any of the variables inside the $html string, so use single quotes to encapsulate the string and double quotes on the inside.
Also, try pastebin plus line numbers ... it'd make it a bit easier to parse/test.

Hey, unbelievable.
It is working, till now.
So $html='text "more text"...'; works.
$html="text 'more text'..."; does not.
Firtst of all thank you. Never expected it, because normally it doesn't matter which way in normal php.
Thank you very much!

Dear all,
Ok, simple header works. Tried sevaral different solutions.
Now, I am still at the problem with different headers/footers or designing a normal page and from 2nd page on there should be a header/footer with Logo.
I tried this:
<code>
<?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html='<html>
<head>
<style>
.first-page-header { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; top: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.first-page-footer { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.header { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.header .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.footer .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
</style>
</head>
.first-page-footer { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.header { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.header .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.footer .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="first-page-header">
<div class="content">My Great Treatise</div>
</div>
<div class="first-page-footer">
<div class="content">something something</div>
</div>
<div class="first-page-header">
<div class="content">My Great Treatise</div>
</div>
<div class="first-page-footer">
<div class="content">something something</div>
</div>
<script type="text/php">
$GLOBALS["header"][] = array();
$GLOBALS["footer"] = NULL;
</script>
<div class="header">";
<script type="text/php">$GLOBALS["header"][] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
<div class="content">Page <span class="pagenum"></span></div>
<script type="text/php">$pdf->close_object();</script>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<script type="text/php">$GLOBALS["footer"] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
$GLOBALS["header"][] = array();
$GLOBALS["footer"] = NULL;
</script>
<div class="header">";
<script type="text/php">$GLOBALS["header"][] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
<div class="content">Page <span class="pagenum"></span></div>
<script type="text/php">$pdf->close_object();</script>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<script type="text/php">$GLOBALS["footer"] = $pdf->open_object();</script>
<h2>Section 1.<span class=".pagenum"></span></h2>
<script type="text/php">$pdf->close_object();</script>
</div>
lots of text ...lots of text ...lots of text ...lots of text ...</div>
</body>
<script type="text/php">
error_log(print_r($GLOBALS["footer"],TRUE));
$pdf->page_script("
if ($PAGE_NUM >= 2) {
$pdf->add_object($GLOBALS["header"][$PAGE_NUM],"add");
$pdf->add_object($GLOBALS["footer"],"add");
}
");
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
</code>
The first page is showing the header/footer. The following not.
I need it just the other way round...
First page clear, 2nd with header. The thing is, I have no idea how long the text will be. Could be 1 page or 10.
1 page: No header/footer
10 pages: 1 page no header/footer; 2-10 page header and footer.
The part
<style>
.first-page-header { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; top: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.first-page-footer { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.header { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.header .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.footer .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
</style>
looks interesting, but looks like being ignored..first-page-header { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; top: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.first-page-footer { position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.header { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.header .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
.footer .content { background-color: black; color: white; text-align: center; }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
</style>
I found a solution with fixed content on first page and fixed amount of text. But dynamically...
Best regards
Ollie
