Acrostix - a PDF library written in PHP

[Chung Leong]

I have just finished my new PDF generation library. The neat thing is
that you can build a document off an existing PDF file. You can find
more info and download a copy at my new blog:

Tell me what you think!

I downloaded the stuff and copied the example pieces that you had there,
but when I fired it up on my server, I got nothing - not even an error
or warning generated. I'll see if I can find some time to play with this
some more in the next couple weeks.

This is something that I have been wanting to get to for a long time,
but just haven't had the time or the ambition. This is something that
would be *very* useful for developers - especially those working with
intranet systems or possibly exporting invoices and such from ecommerce
apps. Many possibilities here...

What version of PHP are you using? PHP 4.4.1 has a serious bug that
causes infinite loops.

Crap. It was the new restriction on passing return value as reference
that they put in. I'm still on 5.0.4 on the 5 branch so didn't catch
it.

The code's been fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

NICE!

Now I have something new to play with for a while. ;)

Chung,

Thank you! This is the type useful code of which PHP needs more.

Hmmm...caught and fixed another bug, with pages overwriting each other.
References are darn tricky in PHP.

In case anyone is interested, I have posted another article on my blog,
this one about filling in PDF forms:

Great package, great examples!!! One minor thing though: the link to
the example of filling out a PDF form points to this URL:

http://localhost/examples/example2_form.html

while it should probably be something like:

http://www.conradish.net/acrostix/ex...ple2_form.html

Also, is it intended to work with PHP 4 as well as PHP 5?

Cheers,
NC

Oops. Thanks for the heads up!
