Output pdf with images inside pages

[figo2476]

I play around with File_PDF class. I found some examples in the pear website,

but I didn't see any example to output images inside a page.

 

any hint will be appreciated.

Google and ye shall find

 

http://pear.php.net/package/File_PDF/docs/0.0.1/File_PDF/File_PDF.html#methodimage

 

 

(which probably took less time than typing the question)

I did a search and look at the doc in the code.

I don't fully understand the API for image. I did:

 

$name = 'www.google.com/pic.jpg';

$this->image($name, 5, 5, 0, 0, 'jpg');

 

I don't put $link them, since I think it is for linkage....

Correct me if I am wrong

And when you did that, what happened?

It didn't work

 

<?php

require_once 'HTTP/Download.php';
require_once 'File/PDF.php';

    function header()
    {
        global $title;

        $this->setFont('Arial', 'B', 15);
        $w = $this->getStringWidth($title) + 6;
        $this->setX((210 - $w) / 2);
        $this->setDrawColor('rgb', 0/255, 80/255, 180/255);
        $this->setFillColor('rgb', 230/255, 230/255, 0/255);

It is not correct. Then I put the test.jpg next to my php file, the pdf

still doesn't include any image.

 

$name='test.jpg';
$this->image($name, 50, 50, 20, 20, 'jpg');

try changing

 

$this->image('test', 5, 5, 10, 10, 'jpg', $link);

 

to

 

$this->image('test.jpg', 5, 5, 10, 10);

I have found 3 things:

 

* If I just use the pure example from the website, I am able to simply put

$this->image('test.jpg', 5, 5, 10, 10); in the code. It will work well.

 

* After put the code into my cms, I need to specify the explicit path, even the image is just

next to the php file.

 

* If I say:

$name = 'www.other_site.com.au/pic.jpg';

$this->image('test.jpg', 5, 5, 10, 10); This won't work.

This scenario occurs, when some images are not sitting in the same server as the code.

Is it possible to make it work in this scenario?

It should be

$name = 'www.other_site.com.au/pic.jpg';

$this->image($name, 5, 5, 10, 10); This won't work.
