PDF generation, no content

Post by BCooper »

Not sure if this is a bug or not, has anyone seen it where the PDF's are generated without the actual content, everything else seems to be there. See attached.

2.8.2, Microsoft-IIS/7.5, PHP 5.4.16, sqlsrv

Update 1:

If I edit \phpmyfaq\inc\PMF\Export\Pdf.php.
Change line 208 from: $this->pdf->WriteHTML(str_replace('../', '', $faqData['content']), true);
To: $this->pdf->WriteHTML('<p>hello world</p>', true);

It works, I see 'hello world' appear.

If I echo out $faqData['content'] it looks something like this;

Code: Select all

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec feugiat vestibulum facilisis.</p>
<p>Vestibulum pulvinar 'arcu' sed aliquam aliquam.<br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="/images/1_5a4d4e619049137b2e0dfbb0692a958f.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /></p>
<p>Mauris interdum magna pulvinar sodales porttitor. Aenean ut mollis mi. Duis sed eleifend diam. Nunc vehicula eget libero in posuere.</p>
<p><img src="/images/1_0917a1309cc508ce60d7f8a30945cedf.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Donec faucibus nec ligula et mattis.  'Nulla ' facilisi. Suspendisse congue adipiscing bibendum.</p>
<p>Â <img src="/images/1_0be63bffa4ecd98e2950abf54ce369a8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Sed varius, nisi id condimentum varius, enim metus semper lacus, sed convallis risus velit 'id enim'.</p>
<p><img src="/images/1_2ae4b16ae01d98ffe881caab6409580e.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.</p>
<p><img src="/images/1_8815168f7e26542dfe22409c6add9001.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Â </p>
Update 2:

Appears to be some kind of encoding issue?

If I edit \phpmyfaq\inc\PMF\Export\Pdf.php.
Change line 208 to: $this->pdf->WriteHTML(str_replace("\xc2\xa0",' ',str_replace('../', '', $faqData['content'])), true);

It works, Getting rid of the 'Â' character seems to allow the content to generate.
