Hi,
I am trying to use $_POST to send an array called $result to my controller file index.php.
The bottom of this html has the form which should send the array $result as a hidden value.
<?php include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/artgibney/includes/helpers.inc.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/artgibney/css/stylesheet.css"/>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Manage Topics: Search Results</title>
</head>
<body background="/artgibney/includes/retro_intro_@2X.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.artgibney.com/artgibney/images/favicon.ico"/>
<p><a href="..">physCMS home</a> ⇒ <a href="/artgibney/admin/notes/?setupNotes">Manage Daily Notes</a> ⇒ <a href="?search">Search</a> ⇒ <a href="?pdf">Create pdf</a> </p></p>
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/artgibney/includes/logout.inc.html.php'; ?>
<h2>Search results for: <?php echo $learner[0]['learner']?></h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th></th>
<?php foreach($result as $keys => $values):
if($keys == 0):
foreach($values as $key => $value):
if($key != 'id'):?>
<th><?php htmlout($key); ?></th>
<?php endif;
endforeach;
endif;
endforeach; ?>
</tr>
<?php foreach($result as $keys => $values): ?>
<tr>
<form action="" method="post">
<td><input type="submit" name="action" value="Edit"></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete"></td>
<?php foreach($values as $key => $value):?>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo($values['id']); ?>">
<?php if($key != 'id'): ?>
<td><?php if((is_numeric($value))&&($value==1)&&($key!='effort')):?>
✔
<?php elseif((is_numeric($value))&&($value==0)):?>
<?php else: htmlout($value);
endif; ?></td>
<?php else:?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</form>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="result" value="<?php $result ?>">
<input type="submit" name="pdf" value="genpdf">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I did try echo($result) as in,
<input type="hidden" name="result" value="<?php echo($result) ?>">
but this doesn’t work. You can see that the array $result is used earlier in this html file, that’s why I displayed the whole file. I want to send this to the index file to generate a pdf like this, (6th line from the bottom)
if (isset($_POST['pdf']) and $_POST['pdf']=='genpdf')
{
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/artgibney/tcpdf/examples/tcpdf_include.php');
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/artgibney/includes/buildlearners.inc.php';
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
//$pdf->SetAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
//$pdf->SetTitle('TCPDF Example 001');
//$pdf->SetSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
//$pdf->SetKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');
$pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE.' 001', PDF_HEADER_STRING, array(0,64,255), array(0,64,128));
$pdf->setFooterData(array(0,64,0), array(0,64,128));
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_MAIN));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));
$pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont(PDF_FONT_MONOSPACED);
$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(PDF_MARGIN_HEADER);
$pdf->SetFooterMargin(PDF_MARGIN_FOOTER);
$pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);
if (@file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/lang/eng.php')) {
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/lang/eng.php');
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
}
$pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 14, '', true);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->setTextShadow(array('enabled'=>true, 'depth_w'=>0.2, 'depth_h'=>0.2, 'color'=>array(196,196,196), 'opacity'=>1, 'blend_mode'=>'Normal'));
// Set some content to print
/*$html = <<<EOD
<p>Hello world! </p>
<p>Blah</p>
EOD;*/
$html = <<<EOD
<table style="border: 1px solid black"><tr><th>Student</th><th>id</th></tr>
EOD;
foreach($learners as $learner):
$html .= '<tr><td>' . $learner['learner'] . '</td><td>' . $learner['id'] . '</td></tr>';
endforeach;
$html .= '</table>';
$html .= '<p>' . $result . '</p>';
//$html .= '<pre>' . print_r($_POST) . '</pre>';
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 0, '', '', $html, 0, 1, 0, true, '', true);
$pdf->Output('fileName.pdf', 'I');
exit();
}
I am trying to get $result or the $_POST array to display in the pdf that gets generated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Shane
