Hi,

it's difficult to help you without :

• your source code
• the error(s) message(s) you get

i got a variable $var in my session and i want it write in the pdf file if i use session_start() to continue a session, the server doesn't recognize the page generated as a pdf file and is asking me for a view/save/.. of the page

if i don't use session_start() i can't get the variable, right ?

any way here's the code :

<?php

$Id: hello.php,v 1.3.2.2 2002/01/22 19:48:48 tm Exp $

//session_start();

$p = PDF_new();
PDF_open_file($p, "");

PDF_set_info($p, "Creator", "bozza.php");
PDF_set_info($p, "Author", "Rainer Schaaf");
PDF_set_info($p, "Title", "Hello world (PHP)");

PDF_begin_page($p, 595, 842);

Change "host" encoding to "winansi" or whatever you need!

$font = PDF_findfont($p, "Helvetica-Bold", "host", 0);
PDF_setfont($p, $font, 18.0);

PDF_set_text_pos($p, 50, 700);
PDF_show($p, "$var");
PDF_continue_text($p, "is my var.");

PDF_end_page($p);
PDF_close($p);

$buf = PDF_get_buffer($p);
$len = strlen($buf);

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=bozza.pdf");

print $buf;

PDF_delete($p);
?>
