FPDF

If anyone has ever used FPDF to print pdf files, please help...

 

I am trying to print the information that was posted from another page.

 

<?php
require('fpdf.php');

$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'$_POST[status_report]');
$pdf->Output();
?>

 

But, it only prints the words "$_POST[status_report]"....

Variables are not interpolated within single quotes. In fact, in this case you don't need quotes at all.

 

<?php
require('fpdf.php');

$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,$_POST['status_report']);
$pdf->Output();
?>

 

PS: You really ought wrap your logic in a check to see the form has beeen submitted.

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  require 'fpdf.php';
  $pdf=new FPDF();
  $pdf->AddPage();
  $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
  $pdf->Cell(40,10,$_POST['status_report']);
  $pdf->Output();
}

?>

ok that worked, but can you tell me how i can make it all fit.

 

The field is quite big and it's actually got a proper status report in it. How can I make it carry on when it exceeds the width of the page.
