Php – FPDF error “Unable to create output file”

fpdfPHP

I'm working with fpdf libray for providing pdf files. A part of my project consists of using this library to generate pdf files for consumers.
We are working with a server test under "ovh". The arborescence of my space in "ovh" is : /www/betatest.

A folder named upload which contains factures's folder where all the facture's pdf files will be there.
So, when i try to generate a pdf file inside the factures folder, in a web browser it displays me :

Warning: fopen(upload/factures/facture_98.pdf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Success in /homez.742/coplayer/www/betatest/library/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 1025

FPDF error: Unable to create output file: upload/factures/facture_98.pdf.

I tried a lot of things that i found in this web site but does not work.
Please help me. Thank's a lot! 🙂

Make sure the directory have at least a 755. Also, use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] with your path to target the good directory :

$nomFacture = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."upload/factures/facture_".$idFacture.".pdf";

That will produce something like

/homez.742/coplayer/www/betatest/upload/factures/facture_12.pdf

Php – FPDF error: Missing or incorrect image file

After a long struggle finally I found the reason for this issue which I've already discussed here.

Mainly this problem is due to the 'allow_url_fopen' setting which is not enabled for my server, I've solved this issue by using the CURL. I'm giving the step by step procedure to solve this issue because this may useful for somebody like me to avoid wastage of time(for finding the solution).

1. Create a temporary file in the local system with write permission.

Ex: $fp = @fopen($local_file_path, 'x'); 
    fclose($fp);

2. Get the remote location file contents using CURL and write that to local file 
which is created in the previous step.

Ex: $curl = new CurlWrapper($remote_file_path);
    $curl->copyToFile($local_file_path);

3. Now send this local file path to FPDF function(image) then the corresponding 
PDF will get generate for the file without any issues.

I think this is one method to solve this issue, if anybody knows some other ways then you can post them here so that this question may be useful for somebody.

Php – How to generate PDF with Bangla (Unicode) font using fpdf

You could use mPDF instead of fpdf as library and use nikosh as bangla font. First, you have to copy nikosh.ttf font file on /ttfonts folder of mpdf library. Then, change config_fonts.php file. Add

"nikosh" => array(
    'R' => "Nikosh.ttf",
    'useOTL' => 0xFF,       
    ),

inside the fontdata array. As Bangla has similarity with Indic language so I added Bangla font (Nikosh) information after Indic fonts.

For details you could see the following articles:
