Zend PDF Tables Helper - php

Question

Is there any Zend Helper that can make PDF document with tables.
i need to pass result of my Query and the helper will return a PDF document with data in a table.
Just like the below Csv Helper.
what i did here is that i put the given class in
Zend/Controller/Action/Helper
and than in my Action i do so
public function getcsvAction() {
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNeverRender();
try{
$clModel = new Application_Model_DbTable_Mytable();
$select = $clModel->clCSV());
$this->_helper->Csv($select, "genertadfile name");
}catch(Exception $e){
echo 'Oops! Something went wrong.';
}
exit;
}
and this the class
<?php
// Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Csv
class Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Csv extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract{
public function direct($aryData = array(), $strName = "csv", $bolCols = true){
$this->printExcel($aryData, $strName, $bolCols);
}
public function printExcel($aryData = array(), $strName = "csv", $bolCols = true){
if (!is_array($aryData) || empty($aryData)){ exit(1); }
// header
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $strName . "-export.csv");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-control: private, must-revalidate');
header("Pragma: public");
if ($bolCols){
$aryCols = array_keys($aryData[0]);
array_unshift($aryData, $aryCols);
}
ob_start();
$fp = fopen("php://output", "w");
if (is_resource($fp)){
foreach ($aryData as $aryLine) {
fputcsv($fp, $aryLine, ',', '"');
}
$strContent = ob_get_clean();
$strContent = preg_replace('/^ID/', 'id', $strContent);
$strContent = utf8_decode($strContent);
$intLength = mb_strlen($strContent, 'utf-8');
header('Content-Length: ' . $intLength);
echo $strContent;
exit(0);
}
ob_end_clean();
exit(1);
}
}
?>

Answer 1

There is a official module for pdf on zend framework 2: zendpdf
You can install it by adding zendframework/zendpdf to your composer.json file.
Its not finnished yet, that why you can't find any information about it. You can find here the previous documentation... just look for zend.pdf.*.rst files.
There is a ZF2 module for the DOMPDF library too. Find more info here. The code you can finde here. Easy installation by adding "dino/dompdf-module": "dev-master" to your composer.json file.
ADDING:
DOMPDF can be used like this:
public function dompdfAction()
{
return new DOMPDFModule\View\Model\PdfModel\PdfModel(
array(), // Variable assignments per Zend\View\Model\ViewModel
array(
'fileName' => 'monthly-report', // Optional; triggers PDF download, automatically appends ".pdf"
'paperSize' => 'a4',
'paperOrientation' => 'landscape'
)
);
}
It will generate an pdf file for the dompdfAction's viewscript.
ZendPdf can be used like this:
public function pdfAction()
{
$pdf = new \ZendPdf\PdfDocument();
$pdf->pages[] = ($page = $pdf->newPage(\ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4));
$font = \ZendPdf\Font::fontWithName(\ZendPdf\Font::FONT_HELVETICA);
$page->setFont($font, 36);
$page->drawText('<h1>html não funciona...</h1>', 10, 536, 'utf-8');
$page->drawText('PDF FUNCIONA', 10, 500, 'utf-8');
$image = \ZendPdf\Image::imageWithPath('public/images/zf2-logo.png');
$page->drawImage($image, 100, 100, 400, 300);
$pdf->save("teste.pdf");
}
