How can a PHP developer handle a Fatal Error (Memory Size) when generating PDFs using TCPDF?
When generating PDFs using TCPDF in PHP, a Fatal Error related to memory size can occur if the script exhausts the memory limit set in the PHP configuration. To handle this issue, you can increase the memory_limit setting in your php.ini file or within your PHP script using the ini_set() function before generating the PDF.
// Increase memory limit to handle PDF generation
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
// Generate PDF using TCPDF
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 12);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Hello, World!', 0, 1, 'C');
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'D');
