Php – TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image

PHPtcpdf

I'm using TCPDF with Drupal's print module to generate PDF of articles, & ending up with following error message when I click the link to generate PDF:

TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http://localhost/pathToDrupal/themes/bartik/logo.png

The Image exists in the location specified.
I tried applying:

allow_url_fopen = On;
allow_url_include = On;

in php.ini but that could not resolve the problem.

Please care to help 🙁

Apparently the "fopen"-wrappers are not used by TCPDF.

If you supply the URL of an image, TCPDF tries to download it with cURL into the "cache"-directory where your TCPDF-installation is stored (you have to check what the K_PATH_CACHE-constant contains to be sure).

So I guess you have to have write permissions in this directory that the magic works. Also you need cURL enabled.

Php – How to get PHP errors to display

This always works for me:

ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

However, this doesn't make PHP to show parse errors - the only way to show those errors is to modify your php.ini with this line:

display_errors = on

(if you don't have access to php.ini, then putting this line in .htaccess might work too):

php_flag display_errors 1

Php – Get the first element of an array

Original answer, but costly (O(n)):

array_shift(array_values($array));

In O(1):

array_pop(array_reverse($array));

Other use cases, etc...

If modifying (in the sense of resetting array pointers) of $array is not a problem, you might use:

reset($array);

This should be theoretically more efficient, if a array "copy" is needed:

array_shift(array_slice($array, 0, 1));

With PHP 5.4+ (but might cause an index error if empty):

array_values($array)[0];
