Hi,
it looks like this library works fine just with CI 1.6.3 and not CI 2.0.2

What needs to be changed to make it work under CI 2.0.2?

I like your tutorial very much.I find it quite helpful but I have a problem.

I have managed to generate a pdf file from mysql but the problem comes in the justification part when handling tabular data.
I’m handling data for currency data hence I prefer it justified right. Below is how I passed the justification option but It seems not to work.Please help.

$options=array(‘justification’=>’right’);
$this->cezpdf->ezTable($data['display_results'], $titlecolumn,’Payroll Report’,$options);

Billy, I’m not sure about this one. You might be better off looking at a newer library to accomplish this as R&OS is getting a little dated.

Hi Chris,

I’d also like to save the pdf. In my project I’m creating a pdf on the fly from db data then sending it as an attachment in an email. Have you any idea of the best way to do this?

Hey Chris,

I picked up this blog just today and I really like how you combined pdf-exports to CodeIgniter. However, I did find a minor error in your zipped archive. It is in the controller called tutorial.php, on line 51:

where you wrote:
$this->cezpdf->ezTable($dbtable_data, $col_names, ‘Contact List’, array(‘width’=>550));

it should say:
$this->cezpdf->ezTable($db_data, $col_names, ‘Contact List’, array(‘width’=>550));

Thanks again for a great, well-written tutorial

Nils.
