I've a problem with creation af the class needed for outputting JSON data to PDF. The PHP file is as following:
<?php
header('Content-type: text/json');
ob_start();
require('fpdf.php');
class PDF extends FPDF{
// Colored table
function FancyTable($PDFtabHead, $PDFtabData)
{
// stuff with table works if tested with another PHP page
}
} // END -class
$PDFtabHead = json_decode(($_POST['PDFtabHead']), true);
$PDFtabData = json_decode(($_POST['PDFtabData']), true);
$pdf = new PDF();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',12);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->FancyTable($PDFtabHead,$PDFtabData);
$pdf->Output();
echo json_encode(array("res"=>$PDFtabHead)); // Only to chek if outputs something
ob_end_flush();
?>
The caller function from my JS file is:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
async: false,
url: './FPDF/PDF.php',
dataType: 'json',
data: {PDFtabHead: tabHead, PDFtabData: tabData},
success: function (response) {
var res = response.res;
console.log("ok return: "+res);
} // success
,
error: function() {
console.log("ERROR CONNECTING TO ./FPDF/PDF.php");
}// error
}); // ajax
tabHead and tabData are correct, this is the output of tabData :
["05:22","0043","22:31","200201","05:22","0044","22:31", ......]
The call to PDF.php always ends with error, outputting to console : ERROR CONNECTING TO ./FPDF/PDF.php
If I test it from another test page that doesn't send data in JSON format, but a normal PHP Array it works. Obviously I have to change to
$PDFtabHead = ($_POST['PDFtabHead']);
$PDFtabData = ($_POST['PDFtabData']);
in this case PDF page is rendered correctly.
Similarly if I delete the class declaration, and simply return back to my JS page the JSON array, it works; doesn't print PDF it's clear but the Array is returned as expected
