  1. POHTML tables to PDF in PHP - neither DOMPDF nor html2ps/pdf are working
    text
    copied!<p>For the longest time now I've been trying to convert HTML pages containing large tables to PHP. These are styled with CSS and can be several pages long.</p> <p>I first tried DOMPDF. It works great, until a document is more than one page. None of the fixes I've found work. Either it errors out, or any element that would be even partially on the second page gets lumped over the content of page 1. I've tried both the latest release and the SVN copy I checked out today.</p> <p>I also tried html2ps/pdf, and it gives me "permission denied" errors writing to the cache directory, even though the directory is fully writable. The system requirements test script passes. The server is running PHP 5 under IIS (not my choice heh).</p> <p>Can either of these be convinced to work, or is there a library that can do it?</p> <p>Errors from the demo/test scripts:</p> <p><code>Warning: file_put_contents(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\cache/7d888258e9745b3716532ea81342daaf.css.compiled) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\css.cache.class.php on line 33</code></p> <p><code>Warning: fopen(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\cache/unicode.lb.classes.dat) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\inline.content.builder.php on line 991</code></p> <p><code>Warning: flock() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\inline.content.builder.php on line 992</code></p> <p><code>Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\inline.content.builder.php on line 1011</code> (this error repeats several thousand times)</p> <p><code> Warning: fopen(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\cache/times.z) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\pdf.fpdf.makefont.php on line 318</code></p> <p><code>Can't write to file C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\JM\pdf\html2ps\cache/times.z</code></p>
