[Php-java-bridge-users] FOP & PHP-Java-Bridge

[<php...@li...>]

Hello,

I've installed PHP-Java-Bridge 5.2.2
and would like to create a PDF file using FOP and PHP.
OS: Solaris 10
FOP: version 0.95
PHP: version 5.2.6
Java: jdk1.6.0
Apache: Server Version: Apache/2.2.9

when I run fop form the command line, the PDF file was created.
./fop test.fo test.pdf

But when I created a PHP file, let's say mytest.php as following:
---------------------------
<?php
 
include_once ("XML/fo2pdf.php");
 

 
$pdf = new XML_fo2pdf( );
 
$pdf->tmpdir = "/tmp";
 
$pdf->run("/tmp/simple.fo", "/tmp/simple.pdf");
 
$pdf->printPDF();
 
$pdf->deletePDF();
?>
---------------------------

I could not see any PDF file in my browser after checking the PHP page
http://my-server/mytest.php

The script exit after executing $pdf->run("/tmp/simple.fo", "/tmp/simple.pdf");
without any errors or warning (I've checked the apache log file, php-java-bridge.log file,phperror logfile)


I have tried the runFromFile and runFromString (in fo2pdf.php) methods they behave the same way.

My question is : is PHP-Java-Bridge 5.2.2 working with FOP 0.95 and PHP 5.2.6, Java_1.6.0 ?
Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, the same script (PHP) is working with:
FOP: 0.20.4, PHP-Java-Bridge-4.0.8a, Java jdk1.5.0_06 (I mean the PDF file has been created).

Al

Umm, you should then report the problem to FOP, then. -- FOP seems to be some PHP extenstion which doesn't have any links to the PHP/Java Bridge.

What do you mean with this? Your script doesn't even use java() statements, so how can this be a PHP/Java Bridge problem?


BTW: Since you have Java installed, you may want to check out the itext PDF library instead. It is a very powerful and mature library which can create and even transform PDF in various ways, see our itext examples from the source download for details.

Apache FOP is a Java library which converts XSL-FO to PDF; it is invoked 
via the Java Bridge from PHP.

I run a system (on FreeBSD, but platform doesn't matter) which uses PHP 
5.2 and Java Bridge 4.0.8a to call FOP 0.20.5. We don't use the PEAR 
library XML_fo2pdf like you do, but the code is very simple and thus 
similar.

I've attempted to use FOP 0.95, but in short, FOP broke compatibility 
between 0.20.x and 0.95. We continue to use 0.20.5 in production simply 
because it works and there's no need to upgrade. Considering that 
XML_fo2pdf is out of maintenance by about five years [1], odds are it 
just doesn't work with FOP 0.95.

If you have any true need for FOP 0.95 over 0.20.x, you will need to 
hack XML_fo2pdf. If you do take the time, I'd suggest posting your patch 
to the PEAR website when you're finished.

Hello,

thank you for your answer.

My script doesn't use Java, but the PEAR package "XML/fo2pdf.php" does.

The script exited after running:
$options = @new Java("org.apache.fop.apps.CommandLineOptions", $options)
(from fo2pdf.php)

As Patrick said, FOP 0.95 is not compatible with "XML/fo2pdf.php",
therefore I should hack this package or will use the Apache FOP 
embedding Fop2PDF.java from:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/embedding.html#ExampleFO2PDF

cheers,

Al
