FPDF Header and Footer

Question

I've install FPDF on Laravel 4.

I use this code to try FPDF but the functions Header() and Footer() don't work

class PDF extends Fpdf
{
    // Page header
    function Header()
    {
        // Logo
        $this->Image('logo.png',10,6,30);

        // Arial bold 15
        $this->SetFont('Arial','B',15);

        // Move to the right
        $this->Cell(80);

        // Title
        $this->Cell(30,10,'Title',1,0,'C');

        // Line break
        $this->Ln(20);

    }

    // Page footer
    function Footer()
    {
        // Position at 1.5 cm from bottom
        $this->SetY(-15);

        // Arial italic 8
        $this->SetFont('Arial','I',8);

        // Page number
        $this->Cell(0,10,'Page '.$this->PageNo().'/{nb}',0,0,'C');
    }
}


// Instanciation of inherited class

$pdf = new PDF();
$pdf->AliasNbPages();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Times','',12);

for($i=1;$i<=40;$i++)
    $pdf->Cell(0,10,'Printing line number '.$i,0,1);

$pdf->Output();
exit;

This is the result: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70804756/doc%20(3).pdf

Can someone point me where the error is?

Answer 1

Write a new class which extends FPDF and put your Header & Footer methods in there.

class PDF extends FPDF {

  function Header() {}
  function Footer() {}
}

Then in your controller...

new PDF();
