Re: help with PDF - undefined function

This is a repost of a message that appeared in the pdflib mail list: I had a similar problem last night. The pdf and perhaps some other libraries weren't registered with the O/S. Running "ldconfig" will force the O/S to rebuild the table of libraries in its cache. You may have to edit your /etc/ld.so.conf file to include /usr/local/lib (or whereever you put the libs). Or you can always reboot!!! HTH, Paul --- In pdflib@egroups.com, scott@d... wrote: > I am getting undefined function errors when using Pdf functions in > PHP 4.

I'm using pdflib 3.03 and PHP 4.0.3pl1 on linux. Any ideas? I can see that it is indeed making the file in the directory, but why is this function 'undefined'? Jon From the manual: Most of the functions are fairly easy to use. The most difficult part is probably to create a very simple pdf document at all. The following example should help to get started. It creates the file test.pdf with one page. The page contains the text "Times Roman outlined" in an outlined, 30pt font. The text is also underlined. <?php $fp = fopen("test.pdf", "w"); $pdf = pdf_open($fp); pdf_set_info($pdf, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann"); pdf_set_info($pdf, "Title", "Test for PHP wrapper of PDFlib 2.0"); pdf_set_info($pdf, "Creator", "See Author"); pdf_set_info($pdf, "Subject", "Testing"); pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842); pdf_add_outline($pdf, "Page 1"); pdf_set_font($pdf, "Times-Roman", 30, "host"); pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Times Roman outlined", 50, 750); pdf_moveto($pdf, 50, 740); pdf_lineto($pdf, 330, 740); pdf_stroke($pdf); pdf_end_page($pdf); pdf_close($pdf); fclose($fp); echo "<A HREF=getpdf.php>finished</A>"; ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
