submit div content to create pdf - Page 1

Le 29/03/2013 à 02:14

I'm needing to submit div content from one page to my html2pdf conversions page. I was wanting to do this using jquery so I don't have to leave my home page to make downloadable PDF file. I found an example online but I can't seem to make it work. Any help with this project would be appreciated greatly. Here's the code I found.

[CODE]
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>Nations and Flags</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#exportentry").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(submitted){
var data = $("#container").html();
var filename = "Entry_Report.pdf";
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: "test.php",
data: {data:data, filename:filename},
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
alert('success');
}
})
}else{
alert("No Report To Export");
}
});
});
</script>

</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<center><h3>Nations and Flags</h3></center>
<table border="1" width="500" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center">
<tr><td><%=Request.QueryString("v")%> India</td><td width="200"><img src="imag/in-t.jpg" width="48" height="32"></td></tr>
<tr><td><%=Request.QueryString("v2")%>Australia</td><td width="200"><img src="imag/as-t.jpg" width="48" height="32"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Canada</td><td width="200"><img src="imag/ca-t.jpg" width="48" height="32"></td></tr>
<tr><td>China</td><td width="200"><img src="imag/ch-t.jpg" width="48" height="32"></td></tr>

[CODE]
<?php

require('html2fpdf.php');

if(isset($_POST['data'])){
$urlcontents = $_POST['data'];
$filename = $_POST['filename'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
convert($urlcontents, $filename, $date);
}

function convert($contents, $name, $currdate){
$pdf=new HTML2FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10, "Entry Report");
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 12);
$pdf->Cell(90,12,'- '. $currdate);
$contents = strip_tags($contents, '<html><body><meta><img><h2><h4><br><div><ul><li><span>');
$pdf->SetY(20);
$pdf->WriteHTML($contents );
$content = $pdf->Output('', true);
$file = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($file, $content);
fclose($file);
}
?>
[/CODE]

ajax call cannot download the file directly

on ajax end, append body with an iframe, and set the iframe src as the file url

if your view string is in ' ' instead of " " php parsing will be faster and you will not nead escape the \"

you are on a windows system, maybe try with \ instead of /

also take care about how the lib search path in relative way, that is from html2pdf class file or from your main file ? just try do some test

if it's not work use absolute path c:\...\...\hello.jpg

can you pass parameters in the include(dirname(__FILE__).'/res/exemple10.php'); say like this include(dirname(__FILE__).'/res/exemple10.php?v=1'); or how can I do this. so I load say invoice.asp?id=0001 which loads the invoice with the correct database info.

no, it's a classic php include, it will not execute the script, just include him

but you can do

ob_start();
$_GET['id']=1;
include('invoice.php');
$data = ob_end_clean();

is there anyway I can pass this info to an asp page?

ob_start();
$_GET['id']=1;
include('invoice.asp');
$data = ob_end_clean();

it's more general php question than html2pdf specific one, how to get data from various source ?

for the asp, without done the http request it's impossible
/?hello=world');simpliest way is$data = file_get_contents('http://ip:port
if it's not work try with contextt);

 : $context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('protocol_version'=>'1.1')));
$data = file_get_contents('http://ip:port/?hello=world', false, $contex

or use cURL
