Question

I have a link on a page which generates a pdf. I am using fpdf for the same. My requirement is that we have to generate a single pdf with different pages each having footer and header.

E.g. a students makes a payment through cash, cheques. I have to generate a pdf displaying payment mode , amount etc. I am running a loop for each instrument type but the issue is that the pdf shows one entry only because i think it is being overwritten. I have tried page break but with now success.

Code

require_once(APP_PHYSICAL_PATH."libs/fpdf/fpdf.php");

class PDF extends FPDF
{
    function Header()
    {
        $this->Image(APP_WEBROOT_PHYSICAL_PATH.'app_images/site-logo.gif',10,8,33);
        $this->Ln(15);

        $this->SetFont('Arial','B',12);
        $this->MultiCell(0,0,'mysite.',0,'C');
        $this->Ln(5);

        $this->SetFont('Arial','',10);
        $this->MultiCell(0,0,'67, addd2',0,'C');
        $this->Ln(5);

        $this->MultiCell(0,0,'Tel No - 010000000, Website:www.site.com',0,'C');
        $this->Ln(10);
    }

    function Footer()
    {
        $this->Ln(10);
        $this->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
        $this->MultiCell(0,0,'For mycomany.',0,'R');
        $this->Ln(20);
        $this->MultiCell(0,0,'Center Manager',0,'R');
    }

}
for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
{ 
$pdf = new PDF();

$pdf->AddPage('P','Letter');
$pdf->SetAuthor("MYCompany");
$pdf->SetCreator("MYCompany");
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 12);

Please help me on this.

Answer 1

Ok, so now your error is quite obvious. You have to put the $pdf = new PDF(); before your loop.

ie.

$pdf = new PDF();
for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
{ 
    $pdf->AddPage('P','Letter');
    ...
