dompdf: loading html files to render, doesn't work

Question

dompdf is not able to generate a pdf from a page of my website. However, I\'ve saved the page and uploaded it as simple static html file, and it worked!

So, I don\'t

Answer 1

DOMPDF is trying all kinds of stuff/eval's when running local, you're better of trying:

1) the (granted, long way trip) of requesting the HTML by http:

$dompdf->load_html_file('http://yourdomain.ext/'.$file);

2) Don't let DOMPDF eval but use output buffering itself, and let DOMPDF load the resulting string of HTML.

<?php
    ob_start();
    //be sure this file exists, and works outside of web context etc.)
    require("admin/store/orders/45/invoice/print");
    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
    $dompdf->load_html(ob_get_clean());
    $dompdf->render();
?>
