Php – TCPDF cant image because it is using a wrong directory path

pdfPHPtcpdf

I get my images in my pdf document on my localhost but on the production site i get the error TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image i am using an html img tag to get the images and the src is the directory path to this image not a url, but i found out that TCPDF is adding the path i give it with the path to my www folder like:

path to picture i give to tcpdf: home/inc_dir/img/pic.jpg
tcpdf looks for it here: home/www/home/inc_dir/pic.jpg

can someone please help me find out tcpdf is concatenating the directories?

You can also change only the image path instead of main path use:

define('K_PATH_IMAGES', '/path/to/images/');
require_once('tcpdf.php');

This won't break fonts/ and other tcpdf paths.

Php – TCPDF ERROR: Can’t open image file: /var/www/html/tcpdf/cache/

I got the answer now.

For all who will be able to encounter this problem these are the possible solution.

One cause is that folders inside tcpdf has no permissions of write and read. make sure the folder for cache and images has 644 or 755 (recommended) permission. these permission is very important because there is a process when generating pdf it write something is the cache or read into images.

another cause is that tcpdf does not accept png file or with transparent images. my solution was to make the image into a jpeg and apply a white background for it. so avoid png with transparent.

hope it helped.

Php – TCPDF don’t display image with writeHTML

This wasn't your problem, but it's a possible solution for people with a similar issue in the future. Please make sure the HTML attributes have double quotes.

$html = "<img src='...' />"; // This will not work

$html = '<img src="..." />'; // This will work
