Adding header/footer on every page

[Pavel Hanyš]

Hi, 

I need to add header and footer on every page in generated PDF file. Header has to be placed at the top, footer at the bottom of the page. So it should look like this

PAGE1

<header></header>

Some text .....

<footer></footer>

PAGE2

<header></header>

..... text continues here

<footer></footer>

Is there a way how to accomplish that?

Is it possible to recognize where page starts and where it ends?

Thank you for any reply

Pavel

i've tried the example given in :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7484318/header-in-pdf-page-using-dompdf-in-php

but i got error :

Fatal error: Call to a member function page_text() on a non-object

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();

$canvas = $dompdf->get_canvas();
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
$canvas->page_text(72, 18, "Header: {PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}", $font, 6, array(0,0,0));
$dompdf->load_html($content);
$dompdf->render();

some one knows why did i got error?

NBO.

Currently the canvas isn't initialized until after you've rendered your document. Try it this way:

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($content);
$dompdf->render();

$canvas = $dompdf->get_canvas();
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
$canvas->page_text(72, 18, "Header: {PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}", $font, 6, array(0,0,0));
