PHP - Print A Pdf File From The Server To The Client Without Displaying File
Anyone know how I can print a file (specifically a PDF) that is stored on the server to the clients computer with a button? I don't want them to be able to view it, just print it. I've done some research and understand that there is no way to print directly without popping up the Windows Print dialog. And that is fine. I just want them to print this file, but not no where it is or be able to type in a URL to access it.
Thanks Mike Similar TutorialsI designed a web form that takes as input a file and that should upload that file on the server. The file is located on the client machine. The page containing the web form is handled by PHP script. I found out (reading 9483658954 forum topics so far) that there are 2 methods for getting a file uploaded. The first one is using FTP, and the second one using $_FILES variable. Unfortunately i have complains regarding both of the methods. Firstly, when attempting to upload the file using FTP it seems that rather the FTP server is calling "upload" a simple copy action (because the only successful thing i could do with FTP was to copy a file from location A to location B, both A and B being on the server) or I don't know to use FTP (which is probably the right answer). Then, when using $_FILES variable, I was forced to include ' enctype="multipart/form-data" ' in the form tag. After a long documentation I finally figured out that by including the enctype blah blah, the $_POST and $_FILES variables were NULL after the form was submitted.Still can't understand why! Are there any other methods for uploading a file from the client machine to the server? Can I get a competent script for this? I wish to create validation rules once which are used both on the client and on the server.
For instance, I will start off with the following PHP object:
stdClass Object ( [rules] => stdClass Object ( [email] => stdClass Object ( [required] => 1 [email] => 1 [remote] => stdClass Object ( [url] => check-email.php [type] => post [data] => stdClass Object ( [username] => function() {return $( '#username' ).val();} ) ) ) ) [messages] => stdClass Object ( [email] => stdClass Object ( [required] => an email is required ) ) )When the edit page is downloaded to the client, I will include this object in some format suitable to the client. The client will then use the jQuery Validation plugin (http://jqueryvalidation.org/) along with the validation object, and client side validate the page. When the form passes client side validation and is uploaded, PHP will use the same validation object to serverside validate the form (I have this part working as desired). My question is how should I pass this data to the client? Originally, I would just use PHP to write some JavaScript. exit('var myObj='.json_encode($myObj));Note that when I json_encode the object, the value of $myObj->rules->email->remote->data->username is a string with quotes around it, however, I can easily use PHP to strip these tags before sending it to the client. As Jacques1 pointed out in http://forums.phpfre...ascript-client/, I should never ever use PHP to generate JavaScript, and should use AJAX to download the JSON directly. I tried doing the later, but found that a callback function could not be included in the JSON. Please advise on the best way to accomplish this. Thank you HI Gurus, I need to export (download) a csv file from the web server to my client. How can this be done in php ? How is the save as dialog invoked ? (I am assuming that file save permissions are allowed) I read that if you invoke the following script (eg form submit), it will work .. <? header("Content-type: text/plain"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=YOUR_FILE.csv"); ?> Any advice ? Steven M I have a PHP web system that store in a windows server. In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix). When i try to upload a file, it gives warning: Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40 For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba). The safe mode setting is off. Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen? Not sure if this relates more to PHP or Javascript/jQuery, but is there a way to attach a file to an email client (i.e Outlook), when user click on a link/button? I have a link that generates a PDF and I want it so that, when someone click on a link, it will open up their email client with the PDF already attached, and subject already fill in. I know, you can use <a href="mailto:..." but that only opens up the mail client. I also need to attach a file with a subject fill in. Is this doable with PHP or Javascript? Hey. I am wanting to move a couple of files from my current server to another. If i am uploading the file this is fine but if it is already on the server then im not sure how to move it. When uploading I can just use ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $myFile, FTP_BINARY); What i need to do is figure out how to get a hold of the file and store it in $myFile then this would work fine. Is this possible? Cheers Hello guys and gals, I am pretty green to PHP! I have an empty array that that I am trying to put images into. The thing is I have a certain file name in the folder, I want to exclude that file. This is what I have tried, any advice would be appreciated! Code: [Select] $thumbImg[] = array(); foreach (glob($DImg) as $PImg) { if (!is_file("thumbnail.jpg")) { $thumbImg[] = "<img src=\"pathtoimage\">"; } } Later on the page I am printing it out with this. It is still including the thumbnail.jpg image. Thank you in advance!! Code: [Select] for ($i=0; $i<count($thumbImg); $i++) print $thumbImg[$i]; Hello, hi, whats the best way to print labels. I have already tried the script from fpdf.de but i can not get my dot matrix printer (dot matrix is needed for this purpose) the correct layout. Its continuous paper, with size 110 height x 62mm width (for each label). I am not able to select a self-adjustable paper-size. so i hope to solve this with PHP / PDF if possible. anyone have experience with this? cheerz!! What im trying to do is create a file with the name "triangular_10.txt" where the number in the file name is the number the user entered. From there I want the text file to have the triangular series of numbers. So if the user enters 10, it'll display the first 10 numbers of the triangular series. So far the file name change is working. The algorithm is here that I used for PHP:http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/Calculate_a_triangle_number eg . user enters 10. Result in txt file is first 10 numbers in the triangular series = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45] This is what I have so far but Im not having any luck! At the moment its only writing the number I entered on to the txt file and nothing else! Any ideas? $number = $_POST['number-entered']; foreach ( range(1, 1000) as $i ) { $triangle_numbers[] = $i * ( $i + 1 ) / 2; } //make a file $contents = fopen('gs://a1-task22020.appspot.com/triangular_' .$number. ".txt", "w"); fwrite($contents, $number); //open the file $contents = fopen('gs://a1-task22020.appspot.com/' . $contents, 'w'); // re-open the document if you put something in it fwrite($contents, $number); fclose($contents); } }
is there a way to print the file as it appears. I want to print the HTML and PHP within a file rather than just the output. Example: File contains: <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> i would like to echo: <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> instead of just hello world which is what i get with file_get_contents() Hello, I have the following code writting IP,session, and date to a text file (it works) but I want to add a white space after the IP address. fwrite($fp, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. $_SESSION["sess_name"]. " $dateTime\r\n"); At the moment it prints like this 16.17.51.41SESSION_ID 2011/01/23 12:53:32 thanks in advance. Hi I have a form which is used to upload files to my server, now i need to move files to another server as soon they are uploaded, but move_uploaded_file will work with local server where form has been submitted. i was thinking to add some ftp functions to upload that file to remote server but is there any better way? that user dont notice ftp connection timing. i wants to use less ftp connections and user should not notice delay timing for image upload.
