How to make FPDF work with CentOS 7

Post by adchico » 2018/06/14 08:10:10

I used XAMPP on my local client and it works but when I uploaded it to my CentOS Web Server the reports fpdf pages returns blank pages. I didn't find anything on the web to answer this although I found same issues posted but there was no solution. I hope you can shed light to this issue. Thank you so much!

The chances are that if you are using XAMPP then you probably aren't using CentOS supplied versions of anything involved in this. Can you post the output from rpm -qa httpd php\* mariadb\* please?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I installed xampp-linux-x64-7.2.6-0-installer.run on CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core). Started Apache Web Server from xampp manager.

Put the following in /opt/lampp/htdocs and the test passed. Not sure what your problem is.

Code: Select all

<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$path = '/opt/lampp/lib/php/fonts';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);

$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

You need an XAMPP forum. You're not running the CentOS suppllied http/php stack. Nothing we supply installs anything under /opt/lampp.
