Hi all,
Does anyone know what could be wrong when I get this message after creating a PDF file?
"The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I suspect something is wrong in the PHP environment. I use the html2pdf lib successfully on another server, works like a dream there!
Could it be that I'm missing some PHP extension?
Any help is much appreciated!
Best regards,
Giordano
Not sure this is what causes my problem. Minimal code that does not work:
ob_start();
$content = ob_get_clean();
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . "/../phplibs/html2pdf_v3.19/html2pdf.class.php" );
define( "FPDF_FONTPATH", dirname( __FILE__ ) . "/../phplibs/html2pdf_v3.19/_fpdf/font/" );
$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF( 'P','A4','nl' );
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content, isset($_GET['vuehtml']));
$html2pdf->Output('contract.pdf');
Message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
Looking inside the PDF it starts with:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
%PDF-1.6 3
.....
That's not right, is it?!
Cheers

No idea whatsoever. I've been doing some debugging this morning but cannot get a handle on it.
Could it be that PHP 5.2.4 poses a problem???
For now I've decided to use a workaround: post form to script on the server where things do work.
Not very elegant of course, but it works for now...
Spipu Le 27/03/2009 à 10:33 no, it is not PHP. It must be your program. It is adding automatically this html code.
try to see where the text "doctype" appears, with a global search on all your files....
