Creating PDF in PHP?

[divadiva]

Experts,

 

Is there a way to merge two pdf file ?

 

This is the  current scenario:

 

I have abc field in database which stores only pdf files. So, whenever I create a pdf file (pdf is generated with all the data) a  link  is generated  which opens up the another pdf file of (pdf stored in abc field(database)).Now,I am intending to embed that pdf file instead of making it as a link.Is it doable??If yes then how?

 

Heres the code:

 

 

if( strlen($d_row['confi'])>2 || $d_row['confi_file']) {
			$pdf->SetFont($ft,'B',$fs);
			$pdf->Write($lh,'Confi');
			$pdf->Ln() ;
			$pdf->Ln() ;
			$pdf->SetFont($ft,'',$fs);

			if(strlen($d_row['confi'])>2) {
				$pdf->Write($lh,dpdf($d_row['confi']));
				$pdf->Ln() ;
				$pdf->Ln() ;
			}

			if($d_row['confi_file']) {
				$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,255);
				$pdf->SetFont($ft,'U',$fs);
				$pdf->Write($lh,$apath . $d_row['confi_file'],$apath . $d_row['confi_file']);
				$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0);
				$pdf->SetFont($ft,'',$fs);
				$pdf->Ln() ;
				$pdf->Ln() ;
			}
		}

 

Thankyou in advance for replying.

I am not sure how your pdf class works, but it should be doable to embed, it may be a setting in the class, but there is a header call that makes it downloadable, removing that header or making it not get called if a variable is set is your best bet. I cannot recall which header it is, but look at header to find out.

Thanks for replying :

 

The code uses fdpdf.

 

As suggested, I have found this header from another source:

 

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=" "');//In my case file name is stored in database .Those files actually location is on webserver.

 

But  the file name should come from database.There are huge number of files in the database.Thats where it  is getting tricky.Any idea?

Well the content-disposition is what causes the file to be available to download, if you want it inline you would have to remove that and it should show up in the browser. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, but maybe there is a function in fpdf that you can set to "not download" or something similar like that. I am not familiar with it, so I cannot tell you honestly if it is possible.
