how to use PHP to write the PDF?

[apssiva]

Hi

If I use the regular PHP:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$html = '<table><tr><td>';
echo $row['title'];
$html .= '</td></tr></table>';

$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf->AddPage();
}
$mpdf->Output('SGC.pdf','D');

It freaks out at me and the PDF won't write at all.

for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
print_r ($unser[$i][0]);
}

how to write $unser value in pdf?

How many tables and how many rows you intend to add

Make sure the directory has write permission.

Your echo is echoing directly to browser. on the other mpdf will send data to Browser so a conflict with header will occur.
how?
Your echo is sending data to browser

then your page is creating header to force browser to download pdf file. as a result an error will be generated.

You are not putting any visible data to the pdf at all

mend your logic. lots of bug there.

A Simple Example
pdf.php

<?php
include("../mpdf.php");
$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('<p>Hallo World</p>');
$html="<table>";
$html.="<tr>";
for($i=1;$i<10;$i++)
{
$html.="<td>".$i."</td>";
}
$html.="</tr>";
$html.="</table>";
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf');
