page break with repeating header

harman

Hi, I am generating a report by pulling some data from the database. I want to specify page breaks with headers on top of every page because the report is long. Is there a way?

Is there a particular output format? you might want to take a look at setting up the fpdf class www.fpdf.org which will output a pdf, it has built in function for breaking pages and inserting headers. Otherwise i'd suggest writing a header function and a page break function then shoving everything in a loop.

I tried to use the fpdf class but i get the following out put when i try to test it by printing hello world
%PDF-1.3 3 0 obj <> endobj 4 0 obj <> stream 2 J 0.57 w BT /F1 16.00 Tf ET BT 31.19 794.57 Td (Hello World!)

try making the fpdf page open in a new window something like:
<a href="fpdftest.php" target="_new"> that should fix the problem.
