[KLUG Programming] HTMLDOC pdf dynamic scripting

[Patrick McGovern]

I can provide some specific examples tomorrow.
As a base test, I put the following script in my 
document root and opened it with my browser:

 http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-matic.php?source 

I am quite sure I got the parse error just inside the "show_form() function with
this code "global $PHP_SELF;".  It would seem that if I can get this code to work,
I will be able to adapt it to what I need.  Can you successfully compile this code?

Hello Patrick,

If you can get htmldoc to work from the command line it should be possible to create a web
form and run it.

The pdf-o-matic page below has a link to the source code.  Did you try that?

Otherwise, post your code and the line number of the error, the "T_STRING" error is usually
something simple with an array.

kind regards,

bill
