Hi there, the answer to your question is quite simple, since you've already got it half figured out

 

First, you need to create a $Path Variable containing the path to your save location on your server to execute the code I'm about to show you. The code that you have only makes it available for download by showing it in a pdf page.

 

<?php
$handle = fopen($Path, "w");
fwrite($handle, $pdf);
fclose($handle);	
?>

 

You should add these 3 lines (without the <?php and ?> brackets) before line 11 of your program, and everything should go fine if you've set your $Path variable correctly. Took me a while to figure out too

thanks for the reply

the .php file was taken from the alivepdf sample so i did not write it

 

this does not work?

 

<?php

$method = $_GET['method'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
$path = "save/";

if ( isset ( $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] )) {

$handle = fopen($Path, "w");
fwrite($handle, $pdf);
fclose($handle);

// get bytearray
$pdf = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];

// add headers for download dialog-box
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: '.strlen($pdf));
header('Content-disposition:'.$method.'; filename="'.$name.'"');
echo $pdf;

}  else echo 'An error occured.';

?>

What is it that does not work? The saving of the pdf, the output, or something else, please be more specific

sorry for not being more specific,

 

the pdf does not save to the server, it downloads to the users computer without a problem
