Html2PDF HTML code issue - php

Well I have been at this for hours now. I'm using HTML2PDF to generate an invoice. My program creates a temporary invoice without issue. The issue I'm having is once the program tries to create a PDF from the temp file I'm getting an error:
ERROR n°5
File : /home/x/public_html/office/cron/invoices/php-pdf/_class/parsingHtml.class.php
Line : 218
HTML code invalid, all tags must be closed.
Status :
Array
(
[0] => page
[1] => table
[2] => tr
[3] => td
[4] => table
[5] => tr
[6] => td
)
I understand its saying all the HTML tags have not been closed. I've validated my code many different times, many different ways and sites and all are returning valid. I had some style issues that have been fixed but I still have no luck. My html is as follows:
<!doctype html>

What am I missing that's causing this error? The only other thing I could think of is that HTML2PDF doesn't support something in my styling. I use HTML2PDF for another project without issue so Im not sure where I made a wrong turn.

How do I vertically align text & image in a table cell

So my problem can be seen in this picture:
How do I make every cell have the text at the same height? The last <th> (text+img) drags it down for some reason.
My css:
.table {

padding: 0;
margin: 15px 0 0;
border-collapse: collapse
}

text-align: left;

background: 0 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: .9em;
line-height: 1em;
padding: .5em;
}
.table th.gold {
color: #ffdd45
}
.table td {
padding: .7em .5em .6em;
font-size: 1.1em;
line-height: 1.2em;
background: #222;
border: 2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
vertical-align: middle;
}

</tbody>
</table>

There are 2 ways to fix this:
Decreasing the height of the image(which is what I did in answer), this was 10% before and I made it as 5%. The td content was pushing down due to that.
If you don't want to decrease the height of the image then you have to increase the height of the each row so that the height can easily fit-in.
so call is yours what to choose.

Dompdf table border issue when HTML code converted to pdf file

I am using the DOMPdf library to convert HTML code to PDF. I have designed the table in HTML when I run the file in the browser which renders fine but when I actually generate the PDF file one cell has right side border missing and one cell which should not display the border has borders.

This is a rendering issue with Dompdf versions 0.8.3 and earlier. The core of the issue is the rendering order of the table cells in combination with the technique used to render table cell borders and backgrounds when the borders are collapsed.
First, as with everything in Dompdf earlier elements are rendered before later elements in the document structure. When a cell spans rows it is rendered prior to cells in the following rows. This is important because of the stacking order of objects in the PDF (later objects are rendered above earlier ones).
Second, cell borders are rendered by a single cell within a grouping of any two adjacent cells. For horizontally adjacent cells the cell on the right renders the left border. For vertically adjacent cells the cell on the bottom renders the top border.
Third, cell backgrounds are rendered to the edge of the cell without consideration of borders.
Now take these three facts into account in consideration of a row-spanned cell that is to the right of other table cells. The left border of the row-spanned cell will be rendered. The adjacent cells in the following row will not render a border, and any background is rendered the full width of the cell. Because of this the later cell's background will render over top of the border of the row-spanned cell.
You can see this issue in the following example (when run in, for example, Dompdf 0.8.3):
<head>
<title>Row-span overlap</title>
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table td {
border: 1px solid red;
background-color: #0000ff66;
}
.rowspan {
border-left-width: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td rowspan="2">2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</html>
The issue will be addressed in Dompdf 0.8.4. The primary change to address the bug was to render the background within the border.

$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml($html2);
// (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->render();

$filePath = $publicPath.'/generated_pdf/downlaod.pdf';

The problem is here:
<td style="border-top-style:1px solid black !important;"
You're not using correct CSS syntax here and that's why Dompdf renderer gives you the error. You should do something like this to make it work:
<td style="border-top-style: solid"

DOMPDF hangs when table spans pages

I updated from dompdf 0.5 to 0.6 b3 in order to get better support of some CSS I'd like to
use when generating a PDF in an application.
In the old code version, my current page generation worked fine - one table spanned multiple pages with no problem.
But in the new version, DOMPDF hangs once the code tries to generate a PDF where a table spans onto another page.
My error logs give me
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in
../sfDomPDFPlugin/lib/dompdf/include/frame.cls.php on line 374...
I figure it's a CSS rule, but I'm not clear on what it might be. Suggestions?
Update: Here's some example code that fails. I had to cut it down a bit,
but it includes you all of the relevant tags.

Thanks to Brian S. He mentioned that it worked for him with 0.6.0 beta 3, but not the latest, unreleased code. That made me double check, and it looks like I HAD swapped in the latest code to test something. Reverting back to that release version, I got this working.

XPATH not working on the HTML

I have a code that reads an HTML file from my local web server localhost and then converts it to XHTML with tidy. Then i load that XHTML into my DOM. the code looks like this
<?php
function getXHTML($html)
{
$options = array("output-html" => true,"quote-nbsp" => true, "drop-proprietary-attributes" => true,"drop-font-tags" => true,"drop-empty-paras" => true,"hide-comments" => true);
$tidy=new tidy();
$xhtml=$tidy->repairString($html,$options);
echo $xhtml;
return $xhtml;
}
$content = file_get_contents("http://localhost/filename.htm");
$page = new DOMDocument();
$xpath=new DOMXPath($page);
$content = getXHTML($content); // this is a tidy function to return XHTML
$page->loadHTML($content);
$totalPath = "//body/table[3]/tbody/tr[1]/td[4]";
$total = $xpath->query($totalPath);
echo $total->length; // this shows zero
?>
the contents of filename.htm looks like this

the XPath above is correct as i have checked it with FirePath. can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

Try to use loadHTML($string) instead of loadXML. From manual:
The function parses the HTML contained in the string source. Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load.
Update 1
loadHTML creates the same DOM tree in memory as loadXML does. It only uses less strict parser. Here is example code with XPath:
<?php
$content = file_get_contents("1.html");
$page = new DOMDocument();
$page->loadHTML($content); // this will ignore most errors in formating
echo $page->saveHTML();
echo "=====\n";
$xpath = new DOMXPath($page); // use any "XML" parsing function
foreach ($xpath->query("//li[not(#id='3')]") as $elem) {
echo "[".trim($elem->textContent)."]\n";
}
Content of 1.html file is:
<li id="1">item 1
<li id="2">item 2
<li id="3">item 3
<li id="4">item 4
Output will be:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "...">
<html><body>
<li id="1">item 1
</li>
<li id="2">item 2
</li>
<li id="3">item 3
</li>

Update 2
You just missed initializing for $xpath variable. I've also removed getXHTML call, because it's not necessary:
$content = file_get_contents("2.html");
$page = new DOMDocument();
//$content=getXHTML($content); // no need this if you're using loadHTML
$page->loadHTML($content);
$totalPath = "//body/table[3]/tbody/tr[1]/td[4]";
$xpath = new DOMXPath($page); // creating $xpath object
$total = $xpath->query($totalPath);
echo "[",$total->length,"]";

How much have you played with the PHP Tidy options? If the error you get refers to entities (specifically ) I wonder if setting numeric-entities "on" or playing with the value for preserve-entities would help.
Plan B: Try this. XPath worked even with poorly formed html files.
<?php
$oldSetting = libxml_use_internal_errors( true );
libxml_clear_errors();
$html = new DOMDocument();
$html->loadHtmlFile(
'myHtmlFile.html');
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $html );
$test = $xpath->query( "//div[#id='mydiv']" );
$div = $test->item(0);
echo $div->getAttribute('style');
libxml_clear_errors();
libxml_use_internal_errors( $oldSetting );
?>

the answer to the above question somewhat tricky. my original code looked something like
$xpath=new DOMXPath($page);
..
...
...
$page->loadHTML($content);
..
...
$totalPath = "//body/table[3]/tbody/tr[1]/td[4]";
$total = $xpath->query($totalPath);
...
...
what happens above is that $xpath is created on an empty document because the html is still not loaded in the Dom. so when xpath ran any query it ran the query on an empty document.
now i changed the order of the 2 statements
...
...
$page->loadHTML($content);
$xpath=new DOMXPath($page);
...
...
$totalPath = "//body/table[3]/tbody/tr[1]/td[4]";
$total = $xpath->query($totalPath);
now it works because $xpath is created on a nonempty document
