How can dynamic PHP content be output using DOMPDF?
To output dynamic PHP content using DOMPDF, you can use output buffering to capture the HTML output and then pass it to DOMPDF for rendering. This allows you to generate PDF files with dynamic content generated by PHP scripts.
<?php
require_once 'dompdf/autoload.inc.php';
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
use Dompdf\Options;
// Start output buffering
ob_start();
// Your dynamic PHP content here
echo '<h1>Hello, World!</h1>';
// Get the buffered content
$html = ob_get_clean();
// Create a new DOMPDF instance
$options = new Options();
$options->set('isHtml5ParserEnabled', true);
$dompdf = new Dompdf($options);
// Load HTML content
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);
// Render PDF (optional: set paper size and orientation)
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
$dompdf->render();
// Output PDF to browser
$dompdf->stream('output.pdf');
?>
