Question

I am trying to output a table using FPDF and PHP.

What I need is to output the table headings and I have a doctrine (symfony) collection.

I’m using the writeHTML method using:

$pdf->writeHTML('<table>','','','','');
$pdf->writeHTML('<tr><th>Tooth Selection</th><th>Requirements</th><th>Shade</th><th>Cost</th></tr>','','','','');
$order_items = $this->order_details->getIncludedItemsOrders();
  foreach($order_items as $item)
  {
    $pdf->writeHTML('<tr><td>Test1</td><td>Test2</td><td>Test3</td><td>test4</td></tr>', '','');
  }

 $pdf->writeHTML('</table>');

But I get errors, such as:

 Notice: Undefined index: cols in
 Notice: Undefined variable: cellspacingx in 

Am I doing this correct as I can’t find much information regarding outputting tables using a foreach

Thank

That’s FPDF for you. It’s full of code that raises E_NOTICE errors. If you need to stay with FPDF, you need to turn E_NOTICE off.

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT);

I’d recommend moving to a newer and better amintained library like TCPDF though.
