PDFLib

It is possible to use php_pdf.dll (from www.pdflib.com) under "Aladdin Free Public License". The compiled version of php_pdf.dll provided by www.pdflib.com generates a stamp on all output. To use it without stamp, we have to recompile it from source code (available on www.pdflib.com). I have some problem to do it under W2000. Is somebody has ever done this job ?

WILL THAT MAKES THE TWO OF US.. I MYSELF IS TRYING TO COMPILE THE SOURCE CODE BUT THE PROBLEM IS IT HAS AN BUG ON IT. IM TRYING TO COMPILE IT IN C++ BUILDER 3.O BUT CANNOT BE COMPILED. TRYING TO INCLUDE ALL THE NECESSARY PATH BUT STILL IT CANNOT BUILD(COMPILED RATHER).. I'LL TRY IT IN VISUAL C++ 6.. BUT BECAUSE IM TOO BUSY I DON'T HAVE THE TIME(MY TIME IS BEEN RUN OUT THE MY PREVIOUS TRY OUT)..

I was trying to compile the win32 directory of PHP4.0.5 with Visual C++6, but it leaks some header file like arpa\inet.h, which is for linux I think. I don't think it is possible as is.

yanyan

then how on earth (what type of language) they compile there source code? have you tried borland c++ version 3 to 5?

Anon

The problem was I didn't download www.php.net/extra/win32build.zip (see the FAQ 3.5 of php.net). With this package, I have compiled php4.0.5 with VisualC++6. It is necessary to add some path into tools/option/directory for lib and include from win32build package.

Yes, PDFLib is working (with examples from PDFLib) without the stamp. But I had to rewrite some of my PHP code because php.exe crashed sometimes with my new php_pdf.dll.
You can find the DLL at www.netfute.com/echange

I don't remember exactly but there is no change into the code itself.

Unzip php4.0.5 source code. Unzip www.php.net/extra/win32build.zip under php4.0.5/win32.
Add include and library (php4.0.5/win32/...) path in VisualC++6.
Add directory C:\usr... (I don't remember exactly) with a bison file.
compile php4.0.5/win32/php4ts.

For PDFLib, unzip the source code. Compile pdflib. Add the code for php into php4.0.5 tree. Add the library (php4ts.lib, pdflib.lib, zlib.lib, libpng.lib, libtiff.lib) under the php_pdf directory. Delete the call of _snprintf in a the last file compiled because of a problem of link.
Compile php_pdf.

Good luck.
