PHP -> jScript popup-> FPDF

2 New Member
HI guys i'm newbie here, sorry if my english is not so well, (well i'm rarely using english ^^)
my question is that i'm using PHP to create a report (the report is using FPDF class)
as example if i want to create a sales report based on period defined by the user
so the value of the starting period n the ending period is saved into a variable
to be used for query. now the main problem is when a submit button is pressed and the page is redirected to a page which will display the result of the query in PDF format. but soon i realise that this is a dead end, what sould i do if a want to create another report?? i hit the back button and the page displayed as an expired display and needed to refresh
and i thought it will be better if the PDF page will come on a pop up window, but the problem is if i use the javascript pop up window then the Value stored in session on the php won't be passed to the pop up window?? am i right??

please help me

If u r using session variables why do you need to submit the form. It will be better to use hyperlink to popup another page because the session variables can be accessed on the popped up page easily. If u r not using session variables, you can submit the page to another page where u can print the preview of the report on the html page and put a link or button which will pop up the pdf.

i'm using session variables, can the pop up window recognize the session variables from the parent page????

session variables are globally recognized.
If u r using
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $_SESSION['index']="some value";
, you can access $_SESSION['index'] on every page of the website unless u have called
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. session_start()
in each page.

You can go through http://www.php.net/session for more on session

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but since FPDF is a PHP script, I thought I would give it a try... I am having a problem getting ANYTHING to print in a header using the FPDF functions. I can get text to go into the main body of the PDF file, but nothing into a header. I have messed with this for several hours, seached the web and no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my script - which prints "Test Output" in...

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm trying to write a label printing routine, but I'm not being too sucsessful. I'm hoping maybe someone who's used FPDF b4 can help me out? Basically, I want to print labels from a data taken from a MySQL DB, but it doesn't output the labels properly. As soon as it gets to the bottom of the page, it kinda spans the bottom two labels across the two pages. How do I tell it to print the whole last label on the second page? I had a look at...

Hi, I'm having problems with fpdf v.1.1 used on the site - it doesn't open all PDFs with setSourceFile it says something about "missing xref headers". So I tried to install a newer fpdf version the v.1.53. And now the setSourceFile method of the previous fpdi class (now it is called FPDF) is gone. What should be used instead of it?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
