将FPDF输出存储到变量或新的CURLFILE中

Question

Wondering how I can store FPDF generated file from form fields in a variable or other for use in CURL request. I am able to upload a file via the file upload eg input type="file" name="file" manually and post it with CURL but not with the automatically generated pdf file.

Is this possible? See below code:

$noteTitle = (isset($_POST['noteTitle']) ? $_POST['noteTitle'] : null);
$noteBody = (isset($_POST['noteBody']) ? $_POST['noteBody'] : null);

//FPDF
require("fpdf/fpdf.php");
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont("Arial", "B", 16);
$pdf->Cell(0,100, "Note Title: {$noteTitle} \n", 1, 0, 'C');
$pdf->Cell(0,100, "Note Body: {$noteBody}", 1, 0, 'C');
$filename="test.pdf";
$pdf->output($filename,'f');

$cfile = new CURLFILE($_FILES[$pdf]['tmp_name'], $_FILES[$pdf]['type'], $_FILES[$pdf]['name']);

//Post to curl
$data = array();
$data['FILE_ATTACHMENTS'] = $cfile;
//curl code etc
...

First you need to save dynamically generated at server directory then you can use for the upload or any other purpose like send as attachment email.

For Saving the PDF as a file use below method:

$pdf->Output('yourfilename.pdf','F');

If you want to save file at server directory:(make sure you have 777 writing permissions for that folder!):

$pdf->Output('directory/yourfilename.pdf','F');
