I have a PHP script that creates large complex tables. I am attempting to set up a shell script which would accept an ID as an argument and then run the PHP script using the ID and accept the HTML output of the PHP script for use as part of a cURL post to DocRaptor to make a PDF.
Example shell script looks like this and I want the document_content to be my generated HTML.
myHTML = usr/bin/php mytablemaker.php?id=$1
curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d'{"user_credentials":"API_KEY", "doc":{"name":"docraptor_sample.pdf", "document_type":"pdf", "test":"true", "document_content":"myHTML"}}' http://docraptor.com/docs > docraptor_sample.pdf
How do I do this correctly?
