Save PDF file with Dompdf

Question

using Dompdf to store data in pdf file:

This function work fine :

$pdf = \App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1> ');
return $pdf->stream();

Now,when try

$pdf = \App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1> ');
file_put_contents("test.pdf", $pdf->output());

Get error:

file_put_contents(test.pdf): failed to open stream: Permission denied

Do I need to create some extra folder for saving file or something ?

Tnx, P

Quiet simple, you don't have the sufficient rights to write to the folder / directory? Check that you're webuser has the required read/write to folder and file. — Epodax, Sep 03 '15 at 08:54

To save the generated pdf to a file, use output(), i.e.:

$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml('<h1>hello world</h1>');
$output = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents('filename.pdf', $output);

Use may use a path too: file_put_contents('/home/website/public_html/aap_path/temp/filename.pdf', $output); – Adrian P. May 09 '17 at 22:35
Yes, you can also use an absolute path instead of a relative. – Pedro Lobito May 09 '17 at 22:42

Try this

$pdf->load_html('<h1>Test</h1>');
$pdf->render();
$pdf->stream("data.pdf");

You should check the permissions of the folder. (0777) enter image description here

    $pdf->load_html('<h1>Test</h1>');
    $pdf->render();
    $output = $pdf->output();
    file_put_contents('./historialCartera/prueba.pdf', $output);
