i'm using MPDF to generate pdf files in codeigniter.
my controller function look like
function save_pdf($std_id)
{
$data['section1_report']= $this->common_model->get_details('tbl_section1',array('id'=>$std_id));
$html = $this->load->view('reports/section1',$data,true);
// print_r($html);exit;
$this->load->library('pdf');
$pdf = $this->pdf->load();
$pdf->WriteHTML($html);
$pdf->Output();
}
my pdf
library is
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class pdf {
function pdf()
{
$CI = & get_instance();
log_message('Debug', 'mPDF class is loaded.');
}
function load($param=NULL)
{
include_once APPPATH.'/mpdf/mpdf.php';
if ($params == NULL)
{
$param = '"en-GB-x","A4","","",10,10,10,10,6,3';
}
return new mPDF($param);
}
}
i want to generate pdf file from the view file section1
. but when i call the controller function save_pdf
, i got the errors as below
when i print_r($html);exit;
, it displays all the contents from the view file.i used preg_replace_callback
instead of preg_replace
in mpdf/includes/functions.php
but it's still showing error like this
i studied the mpdf
documentation and it's working correctly in plain php. but i want to generate pdf file in Codeigniter
.
how to solve such errors in mpdf
? I would appreciate any help where i can generate pdf file
using mpdf
in Codeigniter
. thank you.
Try replacing lines 79 and 80 of functions.php
with this:
$str = preg_replace_callback('/\&\#([0-9]+)\;/m', function($m) use ($lo){return code2utf($m[1],$lo); }, $str);
$str = preg_replace_callback('/\&\#x([0-9a-fA-F]+)\;/m', function($m) use ($lo){return codeHex2utf($m[1],$lo);}, $str);
