how to add multiple pages in a pdf file using dompdf + php

[Shail paras]

hi.

I am using dompdf to convert html to pdf. and my query is that:

Is it possible to add new page in same pdf file dynamically?

I have used :

page-break-after:always

it is not working.

my code is:

ob_start();   
    $html = "<style>@page { margin:0; } div.canvasbox {page-break-after:always;}</style>";
     foreach($allimagesData as $allimagesData)
       {
            $pagecontent = $allimagesData['page_content'];
            $html .= preg_replace('/<!--(.*)-->/Uis', '', $pagecontent);  // used to remove some commented lines from html string
        }                       
         echo $html;
 $contents = ob_get_clean();       
   
     $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
     $dompdf->load_html($contents);
     $dompdf->set_paper(array(0,0,12*72,12*72), 'portrait');
     $dompdf->render();              
     $pdf = $dompdf->output();                           
     file_put_contents(BASE_PATH."/public/testingpdf/sample.pdf", $pdf);


BASE_PATH is my root path.
$allimagesData is array which is contains pages html content.
and some regex used to get a rid of some commented lines from html string.

Currently it show me only first page... and i can not see my another pages..
Actually there are four pages ..
But It shows only first one.
What am i doing wrong? or missing something?

Thanks in Advance.

OR is there any way to merge pdf files?

Not with dompdf. You'd have to use another library or an app such as pdftk.

If your content is correctly formatted paging should happen automatically. Using page-break-after: always; also works. There may be something blocking the content from paging, either due to some structural problems, a style applied, or even a bug. But we can't tell without seeing the actual HTML content.

You should first check the value of your $html variable to make sure it contains what you expect. For example, you're using a greedy regex selector (.*) instead of the less greedy (.*?) and maybe you're losing content.
