I have a dynamic PHP table which is generated on to a PDF via FPDF.
How can I make the column 'Name' wider than the others?
class PDF extends FPDF {
function Header() {
$this->Image('quote-header.png');
$this->Ln(2);
}
function Footer() {
$this->Image('quote-footer.png');
}
function LoadData($file) {
$lines = file($file);
$data = array();
foreach($lines as $line)
$data[] = explode(';', trim($line));
return $data;
}
function BasicTable($header, $data) {
foreach($header as $col)
$this->Cell(40, 7, $col, 1);
$this->Ln();
foreach($data as $row) {
foreach($row as $col)
$this->Cell(40, 6, $col, 1);
$this->Ln();
}
}
}
$header = array('Product Reference', 'Name', '('. $pound_sign .') Price (excl. VAT)', 'Unit');
I'm confident that is the only code that generates the table?
Any help would be brilliant. This is for a Product Quotation system for a company I work for and I cannot progress further without fixing this column width issue.
The table is made up of 4 columns: Product Reference, Name, Price and Unit. I need the Name column to be wider than the others, or if possible (automatically adjust) to the Product Name.
The first parameter in the Cell
method is width. http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/cell.htm
Try this to double the size.
function BasicTable($header, $data) {
$nameIndex = array_search ( 'Name' , $header );
foreach($header as $key => $col) {
$width = ($key == $nameIndex) ? 80 : 40;
$this->Cell($width, 7, $col, 1);
}
$this->Ln();
// This assumes that $row is an int indexed array
// E.G looks like array(0 => 'some Product Reference ', 1 => 'Some Name' , 2 =>'Some Price', 3 => 'Some Unit')
foreach($data as $row) {
foreach($row as $key => $col) {
$width = ($key == $nameIndex) ? 80 : 40;
$this->Cell($width, 6, $col, 1);
}
$this->Ln();
}
}
