php - dompdf using curl instead of allow_url_fopen -


i've been working through problem dompdf, we've built application using codeigniter , needed feature allowed printing pdf.

locally, dompdf worked great. however, on live server images broken , not found, though provide link broken image work fine if copy/pasted url toolbar.

i did digging , discovered if in php.ini settings enabled allow_url_fopen fix problem, did!

however, success came crashing down when discovered allowing setting made our server less secure, cannot happen. have other secure apps on there.

i saw people hinting towards using programming language called "curl" done, rather enabling allow_url_fopen.

can give me advice on how implement curl dompdf? has done before?

here function generates pdf:

public function create_pdf($hash = false) {      //hash might full 12-12, or front 12 chars. must 12 or invalid     if (empty($hash) || (strlen($hash) < 12))      {         redirect('view_proposal/error/invalid');     }       $this->data['display_buttons'] = false;      $proposal = $this->proposal_model->get_by_hash($hash);      if (empty($proposal))      {         redirect('view_proposal/error/notfound');     }      $page_break  = '<p style="page-break-after: always"></p>';      //from proposal hash, get:      // cover page     $html = $this->_get_page($hash, 'cover', $proposal);     $html .= $page_break;      // contents     $this->load->model('proposal_block_model');     $blocks = $this->proposal_block_model->get_many_by('proposal_id', $proposal->id);      if (!empty($blocks))     {         foreach ($blocks $block) {             $html .= $this->_get_page($hash, $block->block_id, $proposal);         }                }         $html .= $page_break;       // pricing page     $html .= $this->_get_page($hash, 'pricing', $proposal);     $html .= $page_break;      // terms & conditions     $html .= $this->_get_page($hash, 'terms', $proposal);     $html .= $page_break;      //return $html;      //status info     //$html .= $this->_get_page($hash, 'status_info', $proposal);     //$html .= $page_break;      //create pdf version of output, , set $html      $path = 'file';      $this->load->library('my_dompdf');     $this->my_dompdf->pdf_create($html, $path, true); }

you'll see function references function called "_get_page". collects pages in work proposal created, create_pdf function creating pdf output of dompdf.

here "_get_page" function if helps:

    function _get_page($hash, $block_id, $proposal) {     $this->data['proposal'] = $proposal;      $this->data['primary'] = (count(explode('-', $hash)) > 1);      $proposal->sent_date = (empty($activity)) ? '' : 'proposal sent date '. show_local_time((int)$activity->cdate);     $proposal->end_date = (empty($proposal->end_date)) ? '' : 'good until '. show_local_time((int)$proposal->end_date);      $proposal->accent_color = ($proposal->header_color == 'ffffff') ? '000000' : $proposal->accent_color;      $blocks = $this->block_model->get_toplevel_by_proposal($proposal->id);      $block_toc = $this->_block_toc($blocks, $block_id);      $this->data['prev_page'] = $block_toc['prev'];     $this->data['next_page'] = $block_toc['next'];         //render substitution variables     $this->load->library('proposals_lib');     $proposal->introduction = $this->proposals_lib->render_string($proposal->introduction, $proposal->id);     $proposal->terms_conditions = $this->proposals_lib->render_string($proposal->terms_conditions, $proposal->id);     $proposal->conclusion = $this->proposals_lib->render_string($proposal->conclusion, $proposal->id);       $this->data['proposal_open'] = in_array($proposal->status, array(proposal_status_draft, proposal_status_sent, proposal_status_reviewed));      $this->data['css'] = 'css/public/external/pdf_proposal.css';      switch ($block_id)     {         case 'cover':             $this->data['client'] = $this->client_model->get($proposal->client_id);             $html = $this->load->view('public/external/proposal_pages/cover_page', $this->data, true);             break;         case 'pricing':             $this->load->model('proposal_pricing_items_model');             $this->data['price_items'] = $this->proposal_pricing_items_model->order_by('order', 'asc')->order_by('id', 'asc')->as_object()->get_many_by('proposal_id',$proposal->id);             $html = $this->load->view('public/external/proposal_pages/pricing_page', $this->data, true);             break;         case 'terms': //only pdf             $this->data['terms'] = $proposal->terms_conditions;             $html = $this->load->view('public/external/proposal_pages/terms_page', $this->data, true);             break;         case 'status': //only pdf             $html = $this->load->view('public/external/proposal_pages/status_info_page', $this->data, true);             break;                        default:              $contents = $this->block_model->get_by_proposal($proposal->id);             $this->data['blocks'] = $this->_get_content($contents, $block_id, $block_toc['next']);              $this->data['blocks'] = $this->proposals_lib->render_sections($this->data['blocks'], $proposal->id);              $html = $this->load->view('public/external/proposal_pages/internal_page', $this->data, true);     }      return $html; }

and function, small, called "get_page" used page of proposal:

    //ajax call page  public function get_page() {      $hash       = $this->input->post('proposal_hash', true);     $block_id   = $this->input->post('page_id', true);      $proposal = $this->proposal_model->get_by_hash($hash);      //confirm page_id (block_id) part of proposal hashed, content     if(is_numeric($block_id) && !$this->block_model->block_in_proposal($block_id, $proposal->id))         return $this->ajax_output(array('message'=>'the page requested not part of proposal.') , false);       $html = $this->_get_page($hash, $block_id, $proposal);      $this->ajax_output(array('html'=>$html), true); }

here example of how 1 of images called:

 <img src="<?php echo base_url();?>uploads/clients/<?= $client->image ?>">

sorry if i'm pulling @ straws here help, took far long me discover fix enabling "allow_url_fopen", can't solution i'm square one. if solution using curl need help...

thanks!

edit***

here lame attempt @ using curl first time:

class my_dompdf

{

function pdf_create($html, $filename='', $stream=true)  {   $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, 'http://hidden.com/view_proposal/vfgxkjcnsrns');  curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_followlocation, true); //$st = curl_getinfo($ch, curlinfo_http_code);   $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);      $dompdf = new dompdf();     $dompdf->load_html($html);     $dompdf->render();     if ($stream) {         $dompdf->stream($filename.".pdf");     } else {         return $dompdf->output();     } }

}

which spits error:

fatal error: call member function prepend_child() on non-object in c:\uniserver\www\clientsky\application\libraries\dompdf\include\frame_tree.cls.php on line 231

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
