Hi guys,

Having a slight problem I'm hoping one or two of you can help me with.

When generating a PDF with domPDF it does not carry forward the $vars i have set but yet when print_r() or var_dump() is called the vars have data in them so not sure why this. Here is the code for generating the PDF

Code:
function pdf()
    {
       $this->load->library('parser');
       $id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
              
       $data['orders'] = $this->invoice_model->getInvoiceID();
       $data['query'] = $this->account_model->getCurrent($id);
       $datestring = "%d/%m/%Y";
       $time = time();
       $in = mdate($datestring, $time);
       $gen = 'Invoice - '.$in;
      
       $filename  = $gen;
       $data['title']= $gen;
       $this->load->vars($data);
      
       // Create the PDF
       $html = $this->load->view('account/pdf', $data, TRUE);
       pdf_create($html, $filename, $data);
      
    }

View File for account/pdf
Code:
// Posted from <body> tag has there's a lot of inline styling which your guys arent interested in
<body class="pdf">
<div id="tpl-manage">


<div id="main">
  <div class="corners">

Have you tried rendering the PDF outside codeigniter??

Using the class
Code:
&lt;?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

$html =
  '&lt;html&gt;&lt;body>'.
  '<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
  'templating system.</p>'.
  '&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html>';

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");

As a way to test, add the code above to your view and then load your dynamic data with in it. I would say test each dynamic data maybe one is causing conflict

I have never tried dompdf but since I am at work I cant try it for myself to see if it works.

&lt;?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

$html =
'&lt;html&gt;&lt;body>'.
//load your codeigniter dynamic data here
'&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html>';

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");

If you use CI you should know that loading like this require_once(“dompdf_config.inc.php”);

doesn't work!

But i have this al set up in a helper file

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->set_paper("a4", "portrait" );
    $dompdf->render();
    $dompdf->stream($filename . ".pdf");
}

about this line
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
you can make a config file in application/configs/dompdf.php for dompdf configurations and load It like as way that CI does
And move dompdf class to applications/library/ too

please check
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
you sure that file, and pdf class were loaded? and turn php error_reporting to E_ALL for debug

Code:
function pdf()
    {
error_reporting(E_ALL); // add this code to your pdf function and run that for php message
