Cannot run FPDF in PHP Version 5.2.10

Question

The server information says that the PHP version is 5.2.10. Our fPDF works on version 5.3, but not version 5.2.8.

The error is always

FPDF error: Missing or incorrect image file:

What is the problem?

Answer 1

The first thing that jumps out is:

$pdf->Image($file=$img, $x=null, $y=null, $w=150, $h=100, $type='jpeg', $link='');

near the end. Use:

$pdf->Image($img, null, null, 150, 100, "jpeg", "");

See if this solves it.

Answer 2

It might be this line:

$this->Image('UST-LOGO.jpg',25,10,18);

Comment that line out and try it again. If it now works, you've probably got the path wrong. I've come into the habit of specifying all my files "absolutely" by using the magic "constant" __FILE__.

If the UST-LOGO is in the same directory as that file you posted the source of, then you could change your code to this:

$this->Image(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'UST-LOGO.jpg',25,10,18);

---

edit: Here is the code from the FPDF class which raises that error:

// line 1199
$a=GetImageSize($file);
if(!$a)
    $this->Error('Missing or incorrect image file: '.$file);

The error can only be caused by the file either not existing (the path is wrong) or it can't read the image data (the file is corrupt or file permissions are blocking it)

I would suggest adding a line in your code (or in the FPDF code) checking file_exists($file). If that returns false, then take a closer look at your directories (on the server!). If that returns true, then perhaps try replacing the image with another one to see if that works.
