Re: [Web-erp-developers] PDFOrderStatus.php

[Daintrees <p.d...@pa...>]

Chris and I had a Skype text discussion on this yesterday and we thought =
replacing the $_SESSION['PageSize'] with $_SESSION['DefaultPageSize'] =
was the least pain fix. I have already done this in my development =
version - although I don't think I committed it yet. There are only two =
scripts to fix session.inc and PDFStarter_ros.inc

The difficulty with changing the $PageSize variable is that every PDF =
script would then have to change - there's quite a few of those.

  Change the lines at 112 and 113 ...

  $PageSize =3D array(0,0,$Page_Width,$Page_Height);
  $pdf =3D & new Cpdf($PageSize);

  to

  $PDFPageSize =3D array(0,0,$Page_Width,$Page_Height);
  $pdf =3D & new Cpdf($PDFPageSize);

  Basically change $PageSize to $PDFPageSize in these two lines.  This =
assumes the pdf class does not change PageSize which I'm fairly =
confident is the case.

  Also, the switch assumes that $PageSize is always set with a legal =
value.  If it's possible for it not to be then there should be a default =
case that will ensure the variables such as $Page_Width are set.

  The isset test and setting of $PageSize should be left as is to ensure =
it is set the same as $_SESSION['PageSize'] for all versions and =
settings.  Especially php 4.2.3!

    Well its quite simple, odd, but simple.

    =20

    PDFStarter_ros.inc:

    Lines 25 - 27:

    =20

    if (!isset($PageSize)){

                $PageSize =3D $_SESSION['PageSize'];

    }

    =20

    Basically, if you have not set the $PageSize Variable, it sets it to =
your session variable. Which is fine the First time you print it. But =
because of the following line 112:

    =20

    $PageSize =3D array(0,0,$Page_Width,$Page_Height);

    =20

    At this point, with RegisterGlobals on, it assumes $PageSize is the =
same as $_SESSION[PageSize].  So when you set $PageSize to an array, it =
throws off the whole equation, because earlier you are expecting a =
String like "Letter" or "A4" or something to that effect.

    Does that make sense??

    I am not sure I understand this snag. I thought we could run with =
register globals on or off.

    I need some help here Chris. I have come accross this complaint =
about the small PDF box before - but I don't understand why.

      Ok.  I found the issue.  If you happen to have Register_Globals =
=3D On in your PHP.INI file, within the PDFStarter_ros.inc file, around =
line 112, it sets your $_SESSION[PageSize] from a string to an array.  =
Does it say anywhere in the installation, that you will need to be =
required to have globals turned off??  If So, is there a way to operate =
with Globals turned on?  Looking for Compatibility Issues here .

      The First Time I ran this I got the report, a 14 Page PDF File =
that looks outstanding.  Great work for whoever created it.  But when I =
try to print it out again, no matter what I do I get this tiny blank =
page in Acrobat Reader.  Any Idea's as to what is going on? At first I =
thought maybe it was a session error, but the more I think about it the =
more I doubt that theory.
