I'm having an problem. please bear with me i'm new at this stuff. Here is what's happening. i want to add an image that i uploaded from php. in my php i am giving the image a random name ( giving it an order number ). the upload of the image works fine and i am getting the name i want. my problem comes in when i go to generate an pdf. in my pdf i am requesting that same (order number which i used to generate the name of the image) as a variable from my mysql and if i echo that to the screen it seems to be correct aswell. my problem is when i want to use that variable in an image in my pdf. here is my code.
//this is my order number
$pro_forma_number=$_SESSION['orderpro'];
//this is the output of the pro_forma_number
MAG132
// this is the image name
MAG132.jpg
//this is the image in the pdf
$pdf->Image('LALOGO.png',-1,-1,212);
$pdf->Image('./upload_images/$pro_forma_number.jpg',50,50,10,);
the top one works fine but i suspect that is because i am giving it the exact file name.
i know this works if you do this..
// image directory
$imagedir=('./upload_images/MAG132.jpg');
// pdf image
$pdf->Image('$imagedir',50,50,10,);
but i have alot of images with different names and i want to invoke only the images related to set order number.
I just want to know is this at all possible or am i trying the impossible?
