unable to load pdf in browser dompdf - php

Question

We are trying to create html to pdf using DOMPDF. When we are saving this to our browser it is created correctly. For creation we are using this function
function createPDF($pdf_userid, $pdf_content, $pdf_For, $filename){
$path='dompdf/';
/*$rndNumber=rand();
$filename=$pdf_userid.date("Ymd").$rndNumber.'.pdf';*/
$dompdf=new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($pdf_content);
$dompdf->render();
$output = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents($path.$filename, $output);
return $filename;
}
But when we are trying to show pdf in browser without saving on server its showing "Failed to load PDF".
for this we are using this code
try{
$dompdf=new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($pdf_content);
$dompdf->render();
//$output = $dompdf->output();
$dompdf->stream("dompdf_out.pdf", array("Attachment" => false));
exit(0);
}catch(exception $e){
print_r($e);}
Please tell us whats wrong in second code?

Try this and download the latest stable version of dompdf from github
<?php
// include autoloader
require_once 'dompdf/autoload.inc.php';
// reference the Dompdf namespace
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
use Dompdf\Options;
$options = new Options();
$options->set('isRemoteEnabled', TRUE);
// instantiate and use the dompdf class
$dompdf = new Dompdf($options);
$context = stream_context_create([
'ssl' => [
'verify_peer' => FALSE,
'verify_peer_name' => FALSE,
'allow_self_signed'=> TRUE
]
]);
$dompdf->setHttpContext($context);
$html = file_get_contents("html.html");
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);
// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');
// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();
// Output the generated PDF to browser
$dompdf->stream();
// Output the generated PDF (1 = download and 0 = preview)
$dompdf->stream("codexworld",array("Attachment"=>0));
?>
