Dynamically created pdf, need to save to server (phppdflib)

[macmatt]

Hi,

I've been using the phppdflib class to generate PDFs on the fly. They appear in the browser using Acrobat reader or download (depending how the user's browser is set up). However, I would like the option to save these PDFs on the server for later reference. I know it's something to do with fopen(), fput()/fwrite() etc., but I've so far been unsuccesful.

Here's the final bit of code that generates the pdf:

header("Content-Disposition: filename=magicletter.pdf");
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
$temp = $pdf->generate();
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($temp));

echo $temp;

and this is what I've tried to save the file:

$fr = fopen('/magicletter.pdf', 'w');
fwrite($fr, $temp);
fclose($fr);

This currently produces nothing at all!!

Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.🙂

Just to check: is saving it into the root directory deliberate?

Well, I'm only trying it locally at the moment, but that doesn't seem to save it anywhere, root or otherwise🙁

Have you checked to ensure your directory is enabled to allow writing of files?
