Question

i have a site where people can download source code, sorta paste type site, i want them to be able to download a pdf version, sorta on the fly type.

i been using dompdf for other projects, but it seems i cant do the highlighting, it tries to parse the actual php code.

ive used pdf24.org online converter and it does the highlighting, but since its not open source i cant implement it.

ive tried using highlight_file, but all it does is spit out the contents in the browser, even if i set output to false.

any suggestions?

thanks.

Answer 1

highlight_file is correct,

require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html = highlight_file(..., $return=true);

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
