Question

Before I started using Zend Framework, I simply installed dompdf in a directory and was able to call PDF downloads through a URL, similar to this:

http://*url*dompdf/dompdf.php?base_path=**path**&name=**name**

I thought I’d try and be clever and just insert dompdf into the Zend /public directory. But then I realized it wasn’t going to properly call the classes that dompdf uses, such as DOMPDF_Exception, etc.

Is there a way around this? I really have no idea how to integrate the two, and they have to be accessible by URL (as seen above)

Thanks!

You can add both by doing the following.

require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
require_once('Zend/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php');
$load = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$load->pushAutoloader('DOMPDF_autoload','');
