How To Create Table In Fpdf Using Php?

I am trying to create a PDF file using PHP. My problem is that I want to create a table and I'm not sure how to. Any suggestions?

Solution 1:

Alternatively look at tutorial 6

$pdf->WriteHTML($html);

You can just write your table and output it like that.

Although I would recommend TCPDF as its a bit more versatile

Solution 2:

int PDF_add_table_cell ( resource $pdfdoc , int$table , int$column ,
                         int$row , string$text , string$optlist )

Adds a cell to a new or existing table.

More info on PDF functions can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php

If you want to use FPDF here is an example taken from FPDF.org

<?phprequire('fpdf.php');    
classPDF_MC_TableextendsFPDF{
 var$widths;
 var$aligns;

 functionSetWidths($w){
    //Set the array of column widths$this->widths=$w;
 }

 functionSetAligns($a){
    //Set the array of column alignments$this->aligns=$a;
 }

 functionRow($data){
    //Calculate the height of the row$nb=0;
    for($i=0;$i<count($data);$i++)
        $nb=max($nb,$this->NbLines($this->widths[$i],$data[$i]));
    $h=5*$nb;
    //Issue a page break first if needed$this->CheckPageBreak($h);
    //Draw the cells of the rowfor($i=0;$i<count($data);$i++){
        $w=$this->widths[$i];
        $a=isset($this->aligns[$i]) ? $this->aligns[$i] : 'L';
        //Save the current position$x=$this->GetX();
        $y=$this->GetY();
        //Draw the border$this->Rect($x,$y,$w,$h);
        //Print the text$this->MultiCell($w,5,$data[$i],0,$a);
        //Put the position to the right of the cell$this->SetXY($x+$w,$y);
    }
    //Go to the next line$this->Ln($h);
 }

 functionCheckPageBreak($h){
    //If the height h would cause an overflow, add a new page immediatelyif($this->GetY()+$h>$this->PageBreakTrigger)
        $this->AddPage($this->CurOrientation);
 }

 functionNbLines($w,$txt){
    //Computes the number of lines a MultiCell of width w will take$cw=&$this->CurrentFont['cw'];
    if($w==0)
        $w=$this->w-$this->rMargin-$this->x;
    $wmax=($w-2*$this->cMargin)*1000/$this->FontSize;
    $s=str_replace("\r",'',$txt);
    $nb=strlen($s);
    if($nb>0and$s[$nb-1]=="\n")
        $nb--;
    $sep=-1;
    $i=0;
    $j=0;
    $l=0;
    $nl=1;
    while($i<$nb){
        $c=$s[$i];
        if($c=="\n"){
            $i++;
            $sep=-1;
            $j=$i;
            $l=0;
            $nl++;
            continue;
        }
        if($c==' ')
            $sep=$i;
        $l+=$cw[$c];
        if($l>$wmax){
            if($sep==-1){
                if($i==$j)
                    $i++;
            } else$i=$sep+1;
            $sep=-1;
            $j=$i;
            $l=0;
            $nl++;
        } else$i++;
    }
    return$nl;
 }
}
