Question :How do i put in a title at the top of my page for each page. and the table header on each page. Been struggling and i tried the fpdf tutorial page on the website. But i still can't get it to work

Answer 1

The way that you are expected to do this, at least from the comments in FPDF, is to inherit from the base FPDF class and implement the Header method:

use Fpdf\Fpdf;

class MyPdf extends Fpdf {
    function Header() {
        $this->Cell(100, 100, 'TITLE');
    }
}

$pdf = new MyPdf();

Additionally, there is a Footer method, which can be overridden in the same fashion if you need to have a footer on each page.

Answer 2

I believe that you should extend the Fpdf class and work out a complete header section and footer section which will overwrite the default Header and Footer. See the following example.

class PDF extends FPDF
{
// Page header
function Header()
{

    $this->SetFillColor(54,80,104);
    $this->SetDrawColor(150,150,150);
    $this->Rect(0,0,220,50,'F');

    $this->SetFont('helvetica','B',18);
    $this->SetTextColor(255,255,255);
    $this->SetXY(10,5);
    $this->Cell(100,15,"My Title",0,0,'R');


}

// Page footer
function Footer()
{
    $this->SetY(-10);
    $this->SetFont('helvetica','I',7);

    $this->SetXY(100,-22);
    $this->Cell(100,15,'My Footer',0,0,'L');



}
}

Then instead of using a

$pdf = new FPDF(); 

You should use

$pdf = new PDF(); 

This way the same header and footer will be applied to all of your pages
