Dynamically changing text colour in ezTable

[googlybear]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if its possible to change the colour of text in a table dependant on what the text is.

example:

I grab multiple rows from database, then in while loop I am adding the data to an array (which will become the rows in the table). Then when while loop is finished, create table using the array created as the rows.

I have read all the documents I can find about ezPDF and ezTable, and nothing seems to suggest I can change the text colour dynamically. They only suggest changing it when you create the table.

I tried adding $pdf->ezText($pdf->setColor(0,0,128) .$rowData) inside the array for the row, and although it did change the colour... it was outside the table and messed the table up miserably!

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The first time I had to create a PDF, I started out with ezPDF, but I ditched it after a while. I no longer remember exactly why, but lack of utf-8 support might have been the main issue.

Instead I switched to fPDF which I also found to be easier to work with. Well, at least once I had worked out to get access to more fonts, but that should be described someplace in the documentation.

Perhaps it's worth checking it out.

If you want to stick with ezPDF, you may have to overload the function(s) that create the table to enable switching fonts and or color in the middle of one.

I recommend MPDF - based off FPDF and not that fast, but you can throw html at it and it does the rest
FPDF is fine for simple layout but otherwise requires you to use the additional scripts
