Do we have a simple example for DOMPDF?

Question

I downloaded dompdf from : https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf I included the library in my application

        $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
        $dompdf->load_html($html);
        $dompdf->set_paper('A4', 'Portrait');
        $dompdf->render();

but i got the following error "/php-font-lib/classes/Font.php" is missing

Does anyone know where I can find a simple working example on how to get started with dompdf?

Answer 1

The php-font-lib folder is a link to a different repository: https://github.com/PhenX/php-font-lib

You should download that too and copy the contents of the src/FontLib folder as a 'classes' subfolder in the php-font-lib directory. Then you'll be able to load the Font class.

Answer 2

You downloaded the source code, which is more for developers. What you want to do is go to the dompdf releases page and click on one of the green download buttons (e.g. the one labeled dompdf-0.6.1.zip for the current release). These downloads include all the files you need.

There are other ways of getting dompdf as well. Go to the Easy Installation section of the read me for more information.
