PHP MySQL: Saving PDF to Database

Question

I am generating PDFs with TCPDF, I want to save the generated pdf as blob in a MySQL db. What data should I save to the db? Code for PDF page

Answer 1

The answer is right there, in your code:

// Close and output PDF document
// **This method has several options**, check the source code documentation for more information.
$pdf->Output('example_001.pdf', 'I');

From the documentation:

Parameters: (...) string $dest Destination where to send the document. It can take one of the following values: (...) S: return the document as a string. name is ignored.

So, change your code thus:

$pdffilecontent = $pdf->Output('', 'S');

and save that string to the database
