Hi, while implementing the cpdflib stuff I ran into a problem. The cpdflib creates a pdf file as a memory stream. This stream can be saved to a file or send to standard out when the filename is "-". Here is what I would like to do ... some cpdflib functions to create the pdf doc Header("Content-type: application/pdf"); cpdf_save_to_file($cpdf, "-"); This results into an output in Netscape as if the Header has been omitted. The Browser displays the plain text of the pdf document. Saving it to a file and doing $fp = fopen("testcpdf.pdf", "r"); header("Content-type: application/pdf"); fpassthru($fp); fclose($fp); instead, works. The question is: Could this be related to the way clibpdf writes to stdout? Here is the source code from clibpdf. I wonder if that fdopen() is OK. if( strcmp(name, "-") == 0) fpout = fdopen(1, BINARY_WRITE); /* fd of 1 == stdout */ else { if((fpout = fopen(name, BINARY_WRITE)) == NULL) { cpdf_Error(1, "ClibPDF", "Cannot open output file: %s", name); return(-1); } } Uwe -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
