Hi Guru.

I try to write a code that can generate PDF with HTML input.
After generate PDF file, it will open the PDF file automatically.
These code work fine until generate PDF file but when it's
try to open the file automatically, the PDF prompt "Acrobat
could not open $filename because it is either not supported
file type or because the file has been corrupted..bla..bla..blaa

Here the code

$sql = "SELECT * FROM no_ruj_fail WHERE proj_nm = '123'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while ($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result))
 {
   $nmfail = $rows['nama_fail'];
   $nofail = $rows['no'];
 }
$nofail = $nmfail.$nofail;
$nofail2 = str_replace('/','_',$nofail);
$fileName = $nofail2.'.pdf';
$surat = $uploadDir.$fileName;

$pdf = pdf_new();
  pdf_open_file($pdf, $surat);
 /*  pdf_set_info($pdf, "Author",$surat);

If the "file" is openable, there must be some invalid output before you do the readfile()

I open the generated PDF file manually in folder where is generated.
What i want is, i want the generated pdf file automatically open after i click button.

[HalfaBee]

Yes, I understand that, that is why I suggested you see if something is being output before the readfile().

Hi HalfaBee,

and i want to download filename.php
how to change this in header information.?
Please view the attachment..
Thanks

[HalfaBee]

Just change this line
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($fileName)."\";");

You are currently using the name that is created for the pdf creation.

Hi,
yes i exactly want to open the pdf after created.
how to set the pdf file and the file path ?
help me..

[HalfaBee]

The file is saved to $surat so use that instead of $fileName.

@readfile("$surat") or die("File not found.");

how about the header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($fileName)."\";");
Can i still use it ?

[HalfaBee]

You should be able to.
