I need to generate pdf using dom pdf and php.
I tried this but I get error 500, I have no syntax errors. If I try : $html='Title here' it works. I tried using an external php script and by using file_get_contents() function but it didn' work. Anybody can help me find a solution to generate the pdf using a php script?
This is my script (dompdf/index.php):
<?php
include("dompdf_config.inc.php");
include "../config.php";
include("../db/mysql.php");
$pers=$db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('//-----query here--------'));
$inv=$db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('//-----query here--------'));
$cli=$db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('//-----query here--------'));
$proj=$db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('//-----query here--------'));
$total=$db->sql_query('//-----query here--------');

Your content() function echoes the text. It pushes it to the screen, while you want to catch it in $html.
Use return instead.
UPDATE
In order to catch all query results to one return, you could append them to a variable like this:
function content() {
// Define the output variable
$output = "";
//Run query
$pers=$db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('select * from clients_persons where person_id='.$_GET["ps"].''));
//Combine query results and html
$output .= $pers['name'];
$output .= " <i>";
$output .= $pers['email'];
$output .= " </i>";
return $output;
}
Check memory limit for such issues as well.

I have this php script that generates html tables and sends them via mail() function.
here is a sample of the generated html code :

The issue comes from using shorthand css properties while styling the HTML.
In my case i was using :
<td style = "border: 1px solid black;"> cellText </td>
I should write my inline css like this inst
<td style = "border-width: 1px ; border-style: solid; border-color: black;">
cellText
</td>
I Have made this change in my code and tested it and the issue was gone.
I have made separate html file and using file_get_content i am using it to include it in my content part but when i recieve email html code is displayed as a text rather than what the ouptut of html file should be

You have to include that file, evaluate it as PHP and capture it inside a variable instead of storing the unevaluated content in a string:
ob_start();
include("ret.html");
$r = ob_get_clean();
$content = new SendGrid\Content("text/html",$r);
By the way, you should consider using a templating engine for that job.
From what I can understand, your email is sent as plain text instead of an html. That's because you have the email type set as text/plain when creating the SendGrid object. Changing it to text/html should do it. Replace this line
$content = new SendGrid\Content("text/plain",$r);
with
$content = new SendGrid\Content("text/html",$r);
I have created web site, it's non responsive site. I want change my site to fully responsive site.
When I resize my browser for checking responsiveness it's showing like this
Not showing top picture? How will I change image to responsive?

Try using bootstrap in your website and class="img-responsive" in your image tag
You're using background property in css, so you should use CSS3 background-size property.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
Try adding background-size: contain; to the td's style attribute and see if that helps. Note that if the containing td is set to a fixed height, you may get some unsightly, dead space.
i have used on my site Width and height like

added image what i am getting ?please help me any advise ?
On your media queries you have just changed the color and how do you supposed to get responsive design. You need to change other properties like width or height to adjust on that respective screen size. Or there are other options for you, like responsive tables plugins or if you want to fix via media queries you need to first decide how you wanna display on specific screen size, options are like scrollable tables or breaking table headings into blocks and columns below and so on then only you go to media queries to adjust as accordingly.
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>
<li id="4">item 4
</li>
</body></html>
=====
[item 1]
[item 2]
[item 4]
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
