Question

I can convert html page to pdf and send it via email with out any problem, but I am facing trouble with converting php file to pdf.

is it possible to convert php file to pdf using mpdf or do I need to use some other php class for this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The option seems to be like, first convert the output of the php file to html file, save it and pass that file to mpdf.

Thought my solution may seem other way round but it worked well for me.

Or otherwise this Link

<?php
$file = '/home/user/Desktop/myfile.html';
$result = file_get_contents("url/of/ur/page");
echo $result; //view source now
file_put_contents($file, $result);
?>

now u can pass this file to mpdf. Realie sorie bt i havnt used mpdf till date. May be this solution works for you.

Also, other option is curl.
