Line break when using $pdf->text(....);

[frenkieb]

Hi,

I have a header on each page with some lines of text. I write this
text with $pdf->text(...).

How do I insert line breaks? Now I'm writing every line of text with a
separate $pdf->text(...) command like this:

$pdf->text(550, 40, $text1, $font, 9, array(0,0,0));
$pdf->text(550, 42, $text2, $font, 9, array(0,0,0));
$pdf->text(550, 51, $text3, $font, 9, array(0,0,0));
$pdf->text(550, 61, $text4, $font, 9, array(0,0,0));

I hope this can be done easier.

As far as I know, DOMPDF reads a HTML code and generates a PDF file of it. So, if you want a line break, its better to use "<br>" in your HTML code.

He is talking about in the HEADER which doesn't use HTML.

Yeah, these line of text are in the header. I tried '<br>' and '\n\r'
etc. but that didn't break the line. Or is it possible to use html in
the header?

I didn�t know that the head content were put in the pdf file.

You can only use HTML in the actual document. Doing any kind of
formatting using inline script is pretty much a manual process.

You could programmatically figure out where to break the line.
Something similar to what's discussed in this thread (but you'll have
to modify it to work with the header instead of footer):
http://groups.google.com/group/dompdf/browse_thread/thread/70a373b42d6e4cde

If you're up to hacking your code a little, you could add support for
fixed positioning. A proposed patch has been submitted that will add
fixed-positioning support. This would allow you to define your header/
footer in your actual HTML document instead of using inline script.
