Any way to loop through FPDF code with proper XY coordinates?
- by JM4
At the end of a form collection, I provide the consumer a printable PDF with the information they just entered. I already run through a loop to store the variables themselves but am wondering if it is at all possible to build a loop that builds on itself for FPDF.
The catch is this, each new variable (#1, #2, #3) will change location by a determined amount of space. For example:
I print the Member #1 First name at coordinate at coordinate (95, 101). I print Member #2 First name at coordinate (95, 110)... and so on. Each known variable will be 9.5mm greater than its previous entry (therefor Member #9 will be 40mm higher than Member 6)
My sample code for the FPDF itself is:
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','', 7);
$pdf->SetXY(8,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1name);
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','', 5);
$pdf->SetXY(50.5,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1address);
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','', 7);
$pdf->SetXY(95.7,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1city);
$pdf->SetXY(129.5,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1state);
$pdf->SetXY(139.1,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1zip);
$pdf->SetXY(151,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1dob);
$pdf->SetXY(168,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1ssn);
$pdf->SetXY(186,76.5);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1phone);
$pdf->SetXY(55,81.1);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1email);
$pdf->SetXY(129,81.1);
$pdf->Cell(20,0,$f1fednum);
Ideally, all Y variables with $f2 would be 9.5mm greater than f1's Y values.
