using PDFlib with PHP 4.3.8

[mac3k]

I am using the PDFlib+PDI library with PHP 4.3.8.

My problem is with opening PDF documents.

When using the following code:

$pdf = pdf_new();

$pdi = pdf_open_pdi($pdf, "/pdf/NEW_EMP_INFO_SHEET.pdf", "", 0);

echo $pdi;

it returns a "0", meaning that it was unable to open the document. The amount of documentation/examples for the "pdf_open_pdi" function is disappointing - there are virtually no examples of anyone using this function except for in the php manual and in other forums where people are asking the exact same question I am.

CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS PROBLEM? HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS TO WORK?

Hi,

that function returns -1 if any problem occured.

The zip file available at www.phplib.com comes with some example scripts.

I tested the quickreference.php example with both php 4.x and php 5.x and it worked without any problems. You need to adjust the search path in the script. If that doesn't work then comment out the line that sets the search path and change the infile variable so that it contains the full path to the reference.pdf example file.

Using the example files, it works just fine.

Someone should really update the example code in the PHP manual.

Thanks Thomas
