I am working with Codeigniter and I successfully implemented dompdf for generating PDF files. Now I have issues on adding a header and footer in generated PDF.
Here
I have also tried to add PHP code into the html but have never got a chance to make it work. here is the complete inline code which I guarantee works:
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html ='<html>
<body>
<p>Hello Hello</p><p style="page-break-after:always;page-break-before:always">Hello Hello 2</p><p>Hello Hello 3</p>
</body>
</html>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$canvas = $dompdf->get_canvas();
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
$canvas->page_text(72, 18, "Header: {PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}", $font, 6, array(0,0,0));
$dompdf->stream("my_pdf.pdf", array("Attachment" => 0));
?>
I hope this will help you lot in understanding how to get header and footer in dompdf. Check this link also....Example

<head>
<style>
@page { margin: 180px 50px; }
#header { position: fixed; left: 0px; top: -180px; right: 0px; height: 150px; background-color: orange; text-align: center; }
#footer { position: fixed; left: 0px; bottom: -180px; right: 0px; height: 150px; background-color: lightblue; }
#footer .page:after { content: counter(page, upper-roman); }
</style>
<body>
<div id="header">
