hey guys today I'm going to show you how
to create your dynamic a PDF in PHP so
in my last video i have shown you how to
create the static PDF but in this video
I'm going to show you how to create an
video from his team or forms so i have a
simple form here it's just to his
general form on a statically creation
the dynamic PDF is generated using the
date and inform so so this is the
example which i'm going to show today
it's not a bounce to do just a basic
tutorial but I want to understand this
basic tutorial you can are clearly go
through advanced take advantage of farms
are so so before going in from the
download our F PDF library from FB of
that our website and click on this
downloads on download latest version of
how about the time so at this moment I
have one point seven version and if you
have any further version on download
that one
so once you downloaded are you get it to
feel like this and extract all the files
to your working directory so right now
i'm working in my demo directory and in
that I have extracted that library of
bit of library and I'm going to rain
empty of PDF so you can bring them to
what everyone but if PDF is comfortable
for me i'm going to create a basic HTML
form also here i have his general form
so this is just a basic one nothing on
your i'm going to say in my demo
directory so i'm going to call it s
index dot HTML
so this this is just a basic HTML PS
guys so I'm going to reload my page now
so as i told you before i'm working in
my demo directory county
so this is my history my page now i'm
going to create a PSP fridge
r which we're going to work on today so
i'll just create a ph prevention and
save it in your directory so i'm going
to call it as farm but we had to be you
can pretty much call it whatever you
want
it's not necessary to be found at bhp on
then
so first what I'm going to input my
library which i have downloaded right
now so here you've noticed that you have
PDF is my directory file so i'm going to
import that our file right here before
going any further on them so so the
thing is guys I have to do i import that
FB do a lot people which actually before
hear you
you can notice the fpd of god PS 35 so
this is the value you have to download
so this one is located in my F PDF our
folder so i'm going to call it as if b
DF directory and then I'm accessing fpf
not be fine
so this is my direct three structured we
have P dot PHP so if you have sailed
with some vittles I knew a sort of water
you can you have to space for the
absolute path right here
so on then the next thing is a man i'm
going to create an object for FB of
class so it's going to be you know if B
D F naught sin have created an object
from that so that's what the next thing
is you have to add pages right now i
just created a object on you don't have
any pages in your PDFs i'm going to add
a page like really quickly
it should be ad page
so and and the final thing is you have
to save send it to the browser arm swing
output and if you want you can are like
you can say with your directory but I'm
directly displaying two numbers so that
it can be easy for us
so so this is a very nice very simple
gas for you want to create an object and
then you're going to add pace to a PDF
and then finally what are sending it to
your browser so that's the dust just
three lines so I'm quickly going to
click on the register
I've noticed in my house TMR page right
here are so I have space for a postal
address linked to this his team found
that PHP so if you notice a farm actions
across to form . PHP with parchment so
as soon as I click on is registered with
the restore button right here is going
to exclude farm that PHP so i'm going to
click on this one
so that's it we have a empty PF that's
because we haven't added any content
right here behind just added a single ad
page
so the next thing is i'm going to like
i'm going to add some content right here
the content is something should be
generated dynamically like so what are
the things we have here in this form you
should be generated dynamically social
I'm going to access those fields here so
i'm going to copy something I chance so
this is just basic PHP stuff so I don't
want to waste my damn a typing all this
stuff right
so this is my first name feels if not
you see my first name only miss washed
name on the last name and then i also
have our general data but an excellent
so just a simple thing i have extracted
all the data from his team of the PHP so
now that we have all the variables right
here
then what the one thing is we had to add
all this content to our PDF file
so i'm going to show you one our
function so that's called cell function
in PDF library
so this cell function or it's like a
print of our echo statement which adds
content with the PDF so the first thing
is you have to specify height a sort of
it and then hide off you are content
which are going to specify so on the
next thing is content so one of the
content you want to display in PDF five
so so I have space with all these things
in my first video so if you have time to
know the basics you can just go to my
previous video and then are the next
thing is to have to space where the
model whether you have to specify board
or not but for now I'm going to add any
model psy - psy is 0 so the next thing
is watched with the next line like if
you want you want to explain to be in
your new land you can specify as one of
those if you want to up and next data to
this current one you can just 10 and
then the next moment is like arm
alignment relates it should be centered
are left or right
I want to specify see which it stands
one Center and so before doing are so
before dumping that it i would like that
under function which is called font
so which is it is actually set font so
the first thing is what is the type of
font like
arial times new roman or whatever you
want and then the next thing is like our
weight as they should be bored re italic
or underlined something and then be four
bolts
I for a Dalek and then you for online
and then the next thing is want our I
mean like want such as i'm specifying 16
if you want to increase or decrease
again our increase or decrease so so
does have added two functions right here
the first one is set formed and the next
thing is like jumping to the PDF file so
I'm going to check my video file so so
if you notice there we have a little bit
welcome message right here
so that's the content we have space
reading this arm sell option
so as I told you this 10 and 10
represent hydrogen with you will
understand clearly for spaceflight
mother here so i'm going to add board
see you can notice in small border and
hit
sorry so I'm wondering is my heart of it
on them height so I'm going to space for
two default and then I'm going to add
two enough for height see that simple
right now the width is increased on
hiatus on our then
so that's pretty clear right now so we
have Center orientation so but the thing
is we want to generate a dynamic content
so that's the main purpose of this
tutorial we have to generate dynamic
content so I'm going to add the first
name here so i have fashioned available
right here which is extracted from my
head to my farm
so I'm going to add a team of very well
here
I mean Peace River lie to you so I want
to see what happened it should execute
welcome around - awesome
so that's it the . that the name Rama
can swim a human don't understand that
name I don't worry
so that's then I i have entered in my
back . from so if you notice and this is
my first name
when I click on this edition what done
it says welcome mama June so that's what
I mean dynamic content
so the next thing is that i want to add
further more variables like all this
variable second name last name on it
center so i'm going to create your table
structure here so fast i'm on dad
our table header value like so count
some space wearing only does 15 and then
hi testin so i'm going to call it a last
name because the fuck should be named
and then so as a dollar this set next
option should be like a bottle
whether the model should be active or
not so I'm activating my board right
here and then the next thing should be
like the next tournament structure
whether it should be a Brendan hard to
be like shooting showing a new line so
I'm going to space with zero it should
be dependent on then
it's not necessary to give a line
manager it will take default dance left
so this is my structure and as a told
you i have up to a space where 0 which
means our pending so I don't want to do
that i want to create the next element
in new lands so has this weird one year
so I'm i refresh this thing so that's it
so we have a little bit name
Elementary which we have this one right
now and then at the same time I'm going
to add another element
so which stands for a last name
so
last name so that's pretty simple right
so 10 knots are well
oh we have done something right here so
it should be LM not our last time so I'm
sorry that's my Matt see that's pretty
simple right
you're welcome mom wants me your name on
my last name
so so this is the basic structure guys
are so you can add how many variables
you want but I think I how are they talk
about the male gender our phone numbers
on one quickly and understand things one
for gender & under for email underfoot
for them
so that's pretty simple right so gender
and then one form or by I'm not for me
so this is pretty simple to devise you
don't need to learn any advanced
technologies
then why anyway so that's it
so I'm going to check i hope that on my
résumé right here
I'm going to refresh my thing
so if you notice they are every
continent is appended to the previous
one so I don't want to do that what i
want is I want to create this thing in
your new line so someone to our one here
instead of our pending the date i'm
going to have one
so when has been a special one here
which means the next line the next line
of the next cell in men should be
creating new elements so that's about
was a wine space when one here so I'm
going to check my status now should be
made
alright so i think we find out Jen one
right here
so the thing is simple of our my name my
genders and then mobile money man so if
you notice it if it's not the way it is
not a district properly Simon to quickly
change or 60 here for you may see but
are still it's not it's not i mean like
it's not have some so I'm going to
change everything - 60 so instead of
displaying 1 element in your a bunch of
manner so ops should be 55 under so this
is guy this is a simple dynamic not
tutorial I'm going to the motion again
and dancing
so first name on it things that can name
any thing mail it Jan anything and
mobile number of something so i'm gonna
click on mr. right now
so this is it so this is a dynamic BF
content so this is my first names and
last name mentioned
so this is it guys so i hope you
understand everything perfectly so if
you have any doubts you can this
