I was just curious if it is possible to make PDF files in PHP4? I tested out a little tutorial in my PHP5 book and it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if I just missed something or is that just a new feature to PHP5?

Code: Select all

<?php
	
	define('PAGE_WIDTH', 612);
	define('PAGE_HEIGHT', 792);
	
	$pdf = pdf_new();
	pdf_begin_document($pdf, "", "");
	pdf_begin_page($pdf, PAGE_WIDTH, PAGE_HEIGHT);
	
	// SHOW STUFF HERE
	
	pdf_end_page($pdf);
	pdf_end_document($pdf, "");
	
	$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
	header('Content-type: application/pdf');
	header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=example1.pdf");
	header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
	
	echo "$data";
?>
