I have a page which uses mPDF which when you run displays a PDF in the browser, it can also be saved from here as a PDF no problem. What I would like to happen is when the page is run and generates a PDF that the page is saved as a PDF on the server.
Here is the current code:
<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/include/seo-check/lib/WSAclient.php';
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/include/seo-check/lib/WSAParser.php';
$reportID= $_GET['reportid'];
$WSAclient = new WSAclient(WSA_USER_ID,WSA_API_KEY);
$result=$WSAclient->viewReport($reportID,WSA_SUBSCRIPTION_ID,'xml','EN');
unset($WSAclient);
ob_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>PDF Report</title>
<!--Add your CSS here-->
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo WSAParser::viewReportResponse($result);
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
$HTMLoutput = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
//Convert HTML 2 PDF by using MPDF PHP library
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/include/seo-check/lib/MPDF/mpdf.php';
$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML($HTMLoutput);
$mpdf->Output();
?>
Like I said this outputs the PDF fine but could someone tell me how to save as a PDF?
Answer
The mPDF docs state that the first argument of Output() is the file path, second is the saving mode - you need to set it to 'F'.
$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf','F');
