Integrating HTML2PDF in laravel 5.1 - php

Question

I am trying to integrate html2pdf library in laravel 5.1. But it is showing error like as follows Class 'App\Http\Controllers\HTML2PDF' not found
and my controller code is as follows
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/libs/html2pdf/html2pdf.class.php');
$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','en',true,'UTF-8',array(0, 0, 0, 0));
$html2pdf->pdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($html22);
my folder path is app/Http/Controllers/libs/html2pdf/html2pdf.class.php
i had given the correct path but still it is showing error like HTML2PDF not found. Please anyone let me know how to integrate html2pdf ? or should i do any changes in compose.json file ?
and even i included the line App\Http\Controllers\HTML2PDF at the top of the Controller page but no use.
please help me out .
Thanks

Answer 1

I just downloaded the latest and it would seem there is no namespace.
Remove the use App\Http\Controllers\HTML2PDF and try instantiating html2pdf like $html2pdf = new \HTML2PDF('P','A4','en',true,'UTF-8',array(0, 0, 0, 0));

You can use this Package: https://packagist.org/packages/ensepar/html2pdf
add this to your composer.json
"ensepar/html2pdf": "4.0.6"
and run composer update
after that, you can use it in your controller like so
// add this to the beginning of your controller under the namespace declaration
use HTML2PDF;
// after that, you can use the class like so
$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','de',false,'UTF-8');
$doc = "<page><h1>Hello World</h1></page>";
$html2pdf->setDefaultFont('Arial');
$html2pdf->writeHTML($doc,false);
$html2pdf->Output(base_path().'/storage/app/helloworld.pdf','F');
