I'm using dompdf to generate a PDF. I've grabbed the code from the dompdf website to add a Header to the pdf and it's working, but I would like to put the header on every page except for the first. Any suggestions?

You can do this by inserting the header and footer elements after the elements that appear in the first page.

For example :

<style>
  .flyleaf {
    page-break-after: always;
  }

  .header, .footer {
    position: fixed;
  }

  .header {
    top: 0;
  }

  .footer {
    bottom: 0;
  }
</style>

<div class="flyleaf">
  Some big title
</div>

<div class="header">
  my header
</div>

<div class="footer">
  my footer blah, blah
</div>

<p>The content</p>

Edit: added the style tag
