What is Dompdf?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dompdf  is a HTML to PDF converter. It is a great library and can create a PDF from HTML markup and CSS styles (it\u2019s mostly CSS 2.1 compliant and has support for some CSS3 properties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Initially, download the fresh version of Codeigniter 3 and configure it in xampp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Create the file   name called “ Pdf.php<\/strong> ” . Place this file inside the application\/libraries\/<\/strong> and copy the following code.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');\n\trequire_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '\/dompdf\/dompdf_config.inc.php');\n\tclass Pdf extends DOMPDF\n\t{\n\t\t\/**\n\t\t * Get an instance of CodeIgniter\n\t\t *\n\t\t * @access\tprotected\n\t\t * @return\tvoid\n\t\t *\/\n\t\tprotected function ci()\n\t\t{\n\t\t\treturn get_instance();\n\t\t}\n\t\t\/**\n\t\t * Load a CodeIgniter view into domPDF\n\t\t *\n\t\t * @access\tpublic\n\t\t * @param\tstring\t$view The view to load\n\t\t * @param\tarray\t$data The view data\n\t\t * @return\tvoid\n\t\t *\/\n\t\tpublic function load_view($view, $data = array())\n\t\t{\n\t\t\t$html = $this->ci()->load->view($view, $data, TRUE);\n\t\t\t$this->load_html($html);\n\t\t}\n\t}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Step 3<\/strong>: Dompdf: we have to download dompdf library from GitHub, So let’s download from here : Click Here <\/a>to download dompdf. After download extract it to your “application\/libraries” folder and rename it to “dompdf”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4:<\/strong> In this step, we will add one route “mypdf<\/strong>” for demo<\/strong>, that way when we run this route we will download pdf file, So let’s add following route on your routes.php<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
application\/config\/routes.php<\/p>\n\n\n
\n&lt;?php\ndefined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');\n\n\n$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';\n$route['404_override'] = '';\n$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;\n$route['mypdf'] = "welcome\/mypdf";\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Step 5<\/strong>: In this step we require to add “mypdf” method on welcome controller, So let’s add with following code. you have to just copy of welcome.php<\/strong> controller file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
application\/controllers\/Welcome.php<\/p>\n\n\n
\n&lt;?php\ndefined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');\n\n\nclass Welcome extends CI_Controller {\n\n\n  \/**\n    * Get All Data from this method.\n    *\n    * @return Response\n   *\/\n   public function index()\n   {\n\t$this-&gt;load-&gt;view('welcome_message');\n   }\n\n\n   \/**\n    * Get Download PDF File\n    *\n    * @return Response\n   *\/\n   function mypdf(){\n\n\n\t$this-&gt;load-&gt;library('pdf');\n\n\n  \t$this-&gt;pdf-&gt;load_view('mypdf');\n  \t$this-&gt;pdf-&gt;render();\n\n\n  \t$this-&gt;pdf-&gt;stream("welcome.pdf");\n   }\n}\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Step 6:<\/strong> Adding View File<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now at last step we require to create “mypdf.php<\/strong>” view file for generate pdf file. So now as below i created “mypdf.php<\/strong>” with some html code, so you have to copy below code and create on view folder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
application\/views\/mypdf.php<\/p>\n\n\n
\n&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;\n&lt;html&gt;\n&lt;head&gt;\n\t&lt;title&gt;Codeigniter 3 - Generate PDF from view using dompdf library with example&lt;\/title&gt;\n&lt;\/head&gt;\n&lt;body&gt;\n\n\n&lt;h1&gt;Codeigniter 3 - Generate PDF from view using dompdf library with example&lt;\/h1&gt;\n&lt;table style="border:1px solid red;width:100%;"&gt;\n\t&lt;tr&gt;\n\t\t&lt;th style="border:1px solid red"&gt;Id&lt;\/th&gt;\n\t\t&lt;th style="border:1px solid red"&gt;Name&lt;\/th&gt;\n\t\t&lt;th style="border:1px solid red"&gt;Email&lt;\/th&gt;\n\t&lt;\/tr&gt;\n\t&lt;tr&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;1&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;Hardik&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;user@email.com&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t&lt;\/tr&gt;\n\t&lt;tr&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;2&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;Paresh&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t\t&lt;td style="border:1px solid red"&gt;user@email.com&lt;\/td&gt;\n\t&lt;\/tr&gt;\n&lt;\/table&gt;\n\n\n&lt;\/body&gt;\n&lt;\/html&gt;\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Ok, now we are ready to run our PDF generator example<\/strong>. So let’s run below command on your root directory for quick run:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nhttp:\/\/localhost\/mypdf\n<\/pre><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
