PHP - Printing one report per page

Question

Hi,

I have a timeclock system where i need to print a report for each user... and dont have anyh clue how to do this... im trying to see if DOMPDF its a solution but the website is off.

My ideia is create a pdf with one report in each page... but dont have a clue without read the DOMPDF class..

Any other solution, maybe js, dunno.

Answer 1

PDFLib is very heavily documented on the PHP website:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php

This may be an option to look into, when creating a report via PDF you can force a line break at a particular spot in order to create these multiple page reports as well.

For example if you had 5 users, you could create a single page report for each user forcing the break in a PDF at the end of each users data. :)

Hope this helps, and that i understood your question correctly!

If you're not terribly particular about how your reports look, you could do them in HTML, and put in CSS rules for printing only that put the page breaks in.

.report_header { page-break-before:always; }

Then you could just print directly from the page.
