Been using TCPDF but I wanted more style that was easy to setup. Just installed dompdf and it was really easy.

Uploaded files and used the following script in BeforeOutput event:

global $main_block;

$save_block = $main_block;

require_once("./dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

$html = $save_block;

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");


Whatever is on the page is in the pdf....any style I like...Brill:)

Why not just:

global $main_block;

require_once("./dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($main_block);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");

Is there a reason for loading the main block into two different variables?

Yup

DomPDF is great

It is what I used for my CCS Plugin here...

http://ccselite.com/online_store.php?pid=24

This plugin also supports HTMLDOC. & the PHP Library PDFLib. Also works on both linux & Windows servers..

Let me know if U want some mods & fixes I created in dompdf for my plugin.. Most notably I added a patch to resolve the security hole.

Hmm..

Just looked at the DOMPDF site.

Are there finally new versions???

The DOMPDF I implemented in CCSPDF 2.4 is about 4 years old. I recently looked for an update and there was none.

Thw version I used did not implement classes.

Suppose it's time for me to re-look at this.. LOL

Thanks Waspman..

John

Hi John

I did try your implementation, but it didn't work. That's why I used tcpdf. I didn't think to try dompdf cos of my experience with what you've done.

Google says the security risk is the dompdf.php file and I just removed it and everything works fine?

Hi Waspman.

I remember that..

I still wonder what the issue was. U never did get CCSPdf implemented...

Guess we never explored it to much cause it is generally easy to implement..

LOL TCPDF I looked at that and it looked much more difficult to integrate than domPDF LOL

Anyway. If U got time I would be interested in what the issue was with CCSPdf...

BTW did that logout on browser close work for U??

John

Hi John

The problem was probably me...I'm a bit thick as you can see from above:)

With regard to the logout, no I never got to the bottom of it:(
