Re: Need advise on pdf generation with FPDF
I'll tune up the article, thanks for the feedback. I have a feeling I
always type vendors then get an error and smack myself in the head and
then remove the 's' ;)

(the old fart) the advice is free, the lack of crankiness will cost you
- its a fine line between a real question and an idiot

Re: Need advise on pdf generation with FPDF
Sam, I eventually makes your sample codes runs according to http://
bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/225
Thanks!! But I have to make following changes on your codes before it
runs, maybe because that CakePHP keeps changing.
file "views/helpers/fpdf.php"
1. "vendors(...);" is wrong, should be "vendor(...)" without "s".
2. add following additional var:
function fpdfHelper extends FPDF(){
var $helpers = array(); //I guess it is mandatory for latest
CakePHP
}
3.change default value in function fpdfOutput to be "D" instead of
's', so that:
function fpdfOutput ($name = 'page.pdf', $destination = 'D')
I have tried all options, only this works stable both in IE and
FireFox. Otherwise, there are chances showing messy or blank page. -_-
file "views/layouts/pdf.ctp" (I use *.ctp instead of *.thtml")
==
//don't need this header output, because "vendors/fpdf/fpdf.php" has
done this line
//header("Content-type: application/pdf");
Accordingly, I use "$fpdf->fpdfOutput()" instead of "echo $fpdf-
>fpdfOutput();"
Anyway, your codes help me a lot. Thanks. I will keep playing with
your extending codes.

Re: Need advise on pdf generation with FPDF
Samuel, I have just read your bakery articl "PDF helper using pdf php" http:// bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/218 But I failed to run your codes: -- begin error message -- Notice: Undefined property: fpdfHelper::$helpers in C:\MyDocuments \workspace\addons\cake\cake_1.2.0.4451alpha\cake\libs\view\view.php -- end error message -- You declared that "class fpdfHelper extends FPDF", but I guess it also should "extends Helper" to be a legal Helper. But php doesn't permit extending from 2 classes. Any idea?

Just like you would use any third party code.
My question: How can I use FPDF smoothly into CakePHP framework? Should
I define it as Component or Helper? Anybody has such experience or even
sharable codes?
You can get started by putting FPDF in the vendors folder and using it
in your controller with
vendor('fpdf');
$fpdf = new fpdpf();
.
As your code evolves you can refactor the fpdf related methods into a
component. (you will most likely never need a helper as helpers are
related to views)
