phantomjs-html-to-pdf

PHP library that provides an easy interface to phantomjs HTML to PDF / rasterize capability.

Good alternative to wkhtmltopdf.

This library does depend on the phantom js being installed on your system. Binaries can be found here: http://phantomjs.org/download.html

Custom Binary Path

If the phantomjs binary is not in your system path you should call setBinaryPath. You may also need to change examples/config.php $CONFIG.

Usage Examples

The class can be used to render either local html content (from a variable), a remote url or a local file.

Render Remote Url

$renderer = new Rex\PhantomJs\Renderer();
$renderer->setHtmlContentFromUri("http://www.google.com");
$output_file = $renderer->save();

Render HTML content from variable

$renderer = new Rex\PhantomJs\Renderer();
$renderer->setHtmlContent("<h1>Hello</h1>");
$output_file = $renderer->save();

Serve for Download

use Rex\PhantomJs\Constants;

$renderer = new Rex\PhantomJs\Renderer();
$renderer->setHtmlContentFromUri("http://www.google.com");
$output_file = $renderer->save();

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($output_file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($output_file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($output_file);
exit();
