Hi Everyone,

I am not sure if I am being a little silly or just not seeing the light but I have just started using FPDF(I need this to work on php4) and have added the class to my libary folder.

I can create basic PDF's but I cannot seem to work out how or were to extend the class as per the examples on the FPDF website.

Code:
&lt;?php

require('fpdf.php');

class PDF extends FPDF

{

//Page header

function Header()

{

    //Logo

    $this->Image('logo_pb.png',10,8,33);

    //Arial bold 15

    $this->SetFont('Arial','B',15);

    //Move to the right

    $this->Cell(80);

    //Title

    $this->Cell(30,10,'Title',1,0,'C');

    //Line break

    $this->Ln(20);

}

//Page footer

function Footer()

{

    //Position at 1.5 cm from bottom

    $this->SetY(-15);

    //Arial italic 8

    $this->SetFont('Arial','I',8);

    //Page number

    $this->Cell(0,10,'Page '.$this->PageNo().'/{nb}',0,0,'C');

}

}

//Instanciation of inherited class

$pdf=new PDF();

$pdf->AliasNbPages();

$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->SetFont('Times','',12);

for($i=1;$i<=40;$i++)

    $pdf->Cell(0,10,'Printing line number '.$i,0,1);

$pdf->Output();

?&gt;

I guess my question is how do you extend this class as I cannot do this in a controller as it is already a class.

It would be great if somebody had a sinple way to get around this.

Regards

Rich
