Question

I have been reading about this but I have to do some thing. I have a table with diagonal text in the heading columns and horizontal text in the rows. I was able to make text diagonal using CSS rotation thing, table data is coming from db and I want to generate the same html into the pdf. I don’t know who to write diagonal text in the pdf. The solution is to create an image of the visible html table with data and then store it and then make pdf and embed that image there. I have been reading the GD library but how can I make table in GD library I am stuck , Stack Overflow is the last resort. Please help.

Answer 1

try this ezpdf class http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/readme.pdf. they got some sample code to rotate text and how to embed image into pdf.
example

for ($angle=0;$angle<360;$angle=$angle+20){
  $r=rand(0,100)/100;
  $g=rand(0,100)/100;
  $b=rand(0,100)/100;
  $pdf->setColor($r,$g,$b);
  $pdf->addText(300+cos(deg2rad($angle))*40,300-
sin(deg2rad($angle))*40,20,$demotext,$angle);
{
$pdf->stream();
