Using a thank you page after creating a pdf - El Forum - 01-17-2010

Hello,

I'm using this plugin to create pdf's:

Code:
&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

function pdf_create($html, $filename, $stream=TRUE) 

{

    require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();

    $dompdf->load_html($html);

    $dompdf->render();

    if ($stream) {

$dompdf->stream($filename.".pdf");

redirect('checkout/checkout/bedankt','refresh');

    } else {

        $CI =& get_instance();

        $CI->load->helper('file');

        write_file("./invoices_temp/invoice_$filename.pdf", $dompdf->output());

    }

}

?&gt;

I thought I could use the redirect to send the users to a thank you page after creating the pdf. But this doesn't work. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Been a while since I used the dompdf lib but make the pdf file creation from a link with target="_blank".

Hope this helps !
