I am using Codeignighter, FPDF and FPDI to Amend a PDF to be emailed to a client.

Using the basic example give by FPDI I can get my code to work perfectly on localhost (standalone php file, no codeignighter) however when i put the same file onto my server i get the following warning and error.

Severity: Warning

Message: fopen(PDF.pdf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Filename: PdfParser/StreamReader.php

My code:

require ('fpdf182/fpdf.php') ;
require ('setasign/Fpdi/autoload.php') ;
use setasign\Fpdi\Fpdi;

$pdf = new Fpdi();

$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->setSourceFile('PDF.pdf');

$tplIdx = $pdf->importPage(1);

$pdf->useTemplate($tplIdx, 10, 10, 100);

$pdf->SetFont('Helvetica');
$pdf->SetTextColor(255, 0, 0);
$pdf->SetXY(30, 30);
$pdf->Write(0, 'This is just a simple text');

$pdf->Output('I', 'generated.pdf');```

Thank you for your time and thank you in advance

Did you check the permission of the folder that is supposed to save the pdf file? Your webserver runs as some user and this user should have write permissions.

  • Permissions look good. I have a feeling that it is something to do with my htacess as I cant type a direct url in. everything comes up with 404 even though i know there is a file there. – user2213713 Feb 15 '21 at 12:15
