I have code that generates PDF for me.I am using FPDF to generate PDF.sometimes it gives out put but sometimes it behaves weirdly and it creates pdf with bad format so it doesnt open in any pdf reader.
moreover when it gives me bad format, size of pdf increases dramatically..
can anyone suggest what wrong is going with special cases..?
here is the code..
$pdf_Str = "<table border='1'>
<tr bgcolor=\"#666666\">
<td>Name</td>
<td>Number</td>
<td>Adjusted Amount</td>
<td>Invoice Date</td>
<td>Transaction Date</td>
<td>Amount</td>
<td>Balance</td>
<td>Record Type</td>
<td>Session</td>
<td>Course</td>
</tr>";
foreach($data as $row){
$pdf_Str .="<tr>
<td>".$row['student_name']."</td>
<td>".$row['invoiceNumber']."</td>
<td>".$row['invoiceAdjustedAmount']."</td>
<td>".($row['invoiceDate']!=''?$row['invoiceDate']:' ')."</td>
<td>".($row['TransactionDate']!=''?$row['TransactionDate']:' ')."</td>
<td>".($row['invoiceAmount']!=''?$row['invoiceAmount']:' ')."</td>
<td>".($row['invoiceBalance']!=''?$row['invoiceAmount']:' ')."</td>
<td>".($row['recordType']!=''?$row['recordType']:' ')."</td>
<td>".$row['sessionName']."</td>
<td>".($row['catalogName']!=''?$row['catalogName']:' ')."</td>
</tr>";
}
$pdf_Str .='</table>';
$p = new PDFTable();
$p->setfont('times','',12);
$p->htmltable($pdf_Str);//
$p->output("student_info.pdf",'I');
You can’t create table in PHP. You have to use fpdf built-in function to do that.
Refer this :
