Question

After creating a PDF file in PHP Using DOMPDF, I need to redirect user to different page.

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream($fileName . '.pdf', array("Attachment" => 0));
header('location:newpage.php');

This code creates the PDF file but does not redirect. How can I fix this problem?

Note : This is my previous question. Still I’m trying to get this fixed, still no luck.

Answer 1

The $dompdf->stream() call starts outputting data to the client. Once content is being sent, it is impossible to modify the headers, and thus perform the redirection you want. You can see this by turning on the warnings in PHP (error_reporting).
