Convert HTML to PDF Using dompdf
Question
I currently have a page that generates HTML and fills in fields based on $_GET values from the previous PHP page.
I would like to convert the HTML of the page that I am on to a PDF and load it.
Can anybody help me out?
For some reason I get this as an error on page load:
Warning: require_once(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in /var/www/html/asapweb/libs/full.php on line 2
Warning: require_once( http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php ): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /var/www/html/asapweb/libs/full.php on line 2

require_once("http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
ob_start();

You can only require and include files using the local server path, not the external HTTP path. (unless you have allow_url_include set to true )
Change this line
require_once("http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
to
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
This is assuming the path is correct from your server's docroot.

Try the below code
include("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
Assuming that your dompdf_config.inc.php is available in following path.
/var/www/html/asapweb/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php
