Running wkhtmltopdf to generate PDF files from PHP

The original script contains this:

$GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_PATH']=str_replace(str_replace('\\','/',getcwd().'/'),'',dirname(str_replace('\\','/',__FILE__))).'/';

In other words, it's setting WKPDF_BASE_PATH to the parent directory of the script itself.

Later in the code, the render() function defines $web like this:

$web=$GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_SITE'].$GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_PATH'].'tmp/'.basename($this->tmp);

So, it's building a URL out of WKPDF_BASE_SITE and WKPDF_BASE_PATH.

If you followed the advice in the forum, then your code contains something like this:

$GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_PATH']='/home/username/bin/';
$GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_SITE']='http://yourdomain.com/';

That means that $web will evaluate to something like http://yourdomain.com//home/username/bin/tmp/something. I don't really know anything about wkhtmltopdf or how the script uses that URL, but that definitely looks wrong to me.

I think you should try the following:

1. Define $GLOBALS['WKPDF_BASE_PATH'] as shown in the original code.
2. Create a tmp directory: mkdir /home/fariazz/webapps/pruebas/tmp
3. Create a symlink to your wkhtmltopdf executable in your app directory: ln -s ~/bin/wkhtmltopdf /home/fariazz/webapps/pruebas/

I think that if you do that, all of the action will happen inside of your web app directory, which (as far as I can tell) is what the script expects.
