DomPDF Put 2 tables side by side - php

I´m using DomPDF to generate a PDF in PHP. I need to put 2 tables side by side.
<table style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">names</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">salary</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Pedro</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">1500</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Jhon</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">450</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Brand</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Color</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Ferrari</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Green</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Daewoo</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Blue</td>
</tr>
<tr style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Chevrolet</td>
<td style=" border: 1px solid black !important;">Gray</td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried to put display:inline-block; on the tables but I've got a FatalThrowableError.
Call to a member function get_cellmap() on null
I tried to change display:inline-block to float:left but I've got something like this
They were "side by side" but just the content moved to right. Borders are wrong.
How can I put 2 tables side by side using DomPDF?.


Setting position:absolute on 2nd table and adjusting per right/left/top/bottom css did the trick for me

mail inline style in loop are replace by '?' in php

I have a php script that create a table with custom color as background,
here is some part of the code:
foreach($cells as $cell) {
$html .= "<td style='width:".$cell['width']."%; height: 20px ; border:1px solid black ; background-color:" . $cell['color'] . "' > </td>";
}
but when the email is generated i got this:
<TR>
...
<TD style="BORDER-TOP: black 1px solid; HEIGHT: 20px; BORDER-RIGHT: black 1px solid; WIDTH: 0.15%; BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: black 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #dbdbdb"></TD>
<TD style="BORDER-TOP: black 1px solid; HEIGHT: 20px; BORDER-RIGHT: black 1px solid; WIDTH: 0.15%; BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: black 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: orange"></TD>
<TD ?width:0.15%;height:20px;border:1pxsolidblack;background-color:Green?=""></TD>
<TD style="BORDER-TOP: black 1px solid; HEIGHT: 20px; BORDER-RIGHT: black 1px solid; WIDTH: 0.15%; BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: black 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: green"></TD>
...
</TR>
I have absolutely no idea where the '?' come from and no idea how to fix it.
EDIT: added ; at the end of the line fix it.
$html .= "<td style='width:".$cell['width']."%; height: 20px ; border:1px solid black ; background-color:" . $cell['color'] . ";' > </td>";

Codeigniter Dompdf can't remove the black footer.

I am using dompdf in codeigniter, the HTML page looks fine but in dompdf generated pdf, there is a black box.
The code in the footer section is:
<div class="signature-footer">
<table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;border-style:dashed; border-top:1px black;border-bottom:1px solid white; border-left:1px solid white; border-right:1px solid white;">Prepared By<br><?php echo $quotation_detail[0]->employee_name; ?><br><?php echo $quotation_detail[0]->designation_name ; ?></td>
<td style="width: 30%;border-top:1px solid white;border-bottom:1px solid white; border-left:1px solid white; border-right:1px solid white;"> </td>
<td style="text-align: center;border-top:1px solid white;border-bottom:1px solid white; border-left:1px solid white; border-right:1px solid white;"> </td>
<td style="width: 30%;border-top:1px solid white;border-bottom:1px solid white; border-left:1px solid white; border-right:1px solid white;"> </td>
<td style="text-align: center;border-style:dashed; border-top:1px black;border-bottom:1px solid white; border-left:1px solid white; border-right:1px solid white;">Authorized Signature<br> <br> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div><div class="below-border-footer"></div><div style="text-align: center"><img src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>interface/img/footerImage.png"> </div></div></body>
</html>
CSS for these two elements:
.below-border-footer {
width: 100%;
border-top: 0 ;
padding-bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
}
.signature-footer {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
margin-top: 70px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
I've tried for hours but no result. How can I remove the black box in the footer?

Three things:
1) Nested tables. Generally fine, but your outer table is just a container for the inner table. dompdf is currently unable to break an individual table cell across pages (#98) so this will cause you all kinds of grief. If you have styling on that table that you want to apply (e.g. a border) use a div instead.
2) The height: 100%; styling. Avoid this if you can on elements that are the direct child of the body. dompdf's height calculation can sometimes be off by a bit, causing paging on an element with 100% of the body height.
3) The height: 100%; styling, part 2. The height probably won't be what you expect since dompdf (and by default web browsers) determine height by the content area not the containing box. Margin and padding will further expand the element's height unless everything is specifically set to 0. At least until dompdf supports the box-sizing declaration.

How to add a <!-- message --> to an email for parsing?

I am writing a code that will take a user reply to an automated message and parse out any previous discussion. then take the body of the new email and insert it into a database.
I thought I can add <!-- This is the message break --> to the very top of my message and from there I can remove anything under this phrase when reading the email. using something like this
$newReply = strstr($message, '<!-- This is the message break -->',true);
But for some reason the email server seems to be removing the page break that I added (ie. <!-- This is the message break -->) I can't find it in the email.
Here is the html code that I am using to send it as an email using php mail() function.
<!-- This is the message break -->
<html>

TCPDF split html table on multiple pages

I use TCPDF for outputting an html table, this one in my example is not the only one that i would have to modify so i need some rules for my pages to be rendered.
So far TCPDF seemed to me a powerfull library so i would appreciate not to try another one.
My issue is that i need to add the table header to every new page the table will appear to, but i have also other info to write to this pdf, that must not have the table header so i cannot use the rewrite of header method in tcpdf.

I thought of the following solution: if somehow i could split this html to rows and write row by row to pdf so that i can rollback when i write over the footer and then i add a new page, but there is a major problem, i get all sorts of warnings because the html table tags are not closed.
Here is my code:
$pdf->setAutoPageBreak(false);
$pdf->startTransaction();
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load($data);
$single = $html->find('#Container', 0);
if($single){
$rows = $single->getElementsByTagName('tr');
$rows = $rows[0]->getElementsByTagName('tr');
if($rows)
for($i=1;$i<(count($rows)-1);$i++){
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', '<table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $rows[$i]->outertext, $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', '</table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
if ($pdf->getY() > $pdf->getPageHeight() - 30) {
$pdf->rollbackTransaction(true);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', '<table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $rows[$i]->outertext, $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', '</table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
}
}
}
$pdf->commitTransaction();
$pdf->setAutoPageBreak(true, 30);
I took a quick look at this 2 articles, maybe someone could find this handy:
Some paging with multicell
and Another paging with multicell . I found this 2 worthy of an example as a solution logic, but the methods used with tcpdf seemed to me a little weird.

I think your solution is a good one. Only other method I can think of is to use fixed width multicells which can be quite a pain but gives you static column widths.
I noticed a few problems however:
Your transaction wraps the entire document, a rollback should reset the document to nothing.
Your warnings are likely caused by the fact that you are passing partial html code which is not render-able to writeHTMLCell. (You pass just <table> or </table> which when alone, cannot be rendered)
Your columns wouldn't line up if you wrapped each row in table tags. The best bet is to wrap the rows on that page in a table block.
Try these changes and let me know how it goes
$pdf->setAutoPageBreak(false);
//$pdf->startTransaction(); // Moved
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load($data);
$single = $html->find('#Container', 0);
if($single){
$rows = $single->getElementsByTagName('tr');
$rows = $rows[0]->getElementsByTagName('tr');
if($rows) {
$pdf->startTransaction(); // Start transaction only because we may need it
// Header for html, this starts the html and can optionally insert the header row as the first row on every new page.
$html_header = '<tr><td>Name</td><td>Age</td></tr>';
$html_buffer = '<table>'.$html_header;
for($i=1;$i<(count($rows)-1);$i++){
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $html_buffer.$rows[$i]->outertext.'</table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
if ($pdf->getY() < ($pdf->getPageHeight() - 30)) { // Note the less-than operator
// We might be able to add some more text, so undo that
$pdf->rollbackTransaction(true);
// And store the html
$html_buffer .= $rows[$i]->outertext;
}else{
// We exceeded our limit
$pdf->rollbackTransaction(true);
// Write last known good table
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $html_buffer.'</table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
// Add a new page
$pdf->AddPage();
// End this transaction
$pdf->commitTransaction();
// Start a new transaction
$pdf->startTransaction();
// Reset html buffer
$html_buffer = '<table>'.$html_header;
// Add line we couldn't fit on last page to html buffer
$html_buffer .= $rows[$i]->outertext;
}
}
// There is still information in our buffer and it fits on a single page
$pdf->writeHTMLCell($w=0, $h=0, $x='', $y='', $html_buffer.'</table>', $border=0, $ln=1, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=false);
// Final commit
$pdf->commitTransaction();
}
}
$pdf->setAutoPageBreak(true, 30);
This wraps everything on the page in a table block so the columns will line up on that page. (They may still be different from page to page however) Also, I gave you the ability to add your own header to each new page like you wanted. Just change $html_header to your own header row code.
You are right when you said TCPDF can be confusing but it is also extremely powerful and once you get the hang of it you can make some very nice documents.

Go to TCPDF and choose Example 48, you will see an example with <thead> element.
