Download the PHP package tmw/fpdm without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package tmw/fpdm. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

PDF Form Filling with FPDM

Package

The FPDM class allows to fill out PDF forms, i.e. populate fields of a PDF file. It is developed by Olivier Plathey, author of the FDPF Library, and has been released as Skript 93.

I created this repository for the following reasons:

Version

Based on version 2.9 (2017-05-11) available from fpdf.org/en/script/script93.php.

Note: If you find that a new version has been hosted on fpdf.org, please do not hesitate to drop me a short note to make sure I do not miss it out.

This repository only contains the separate php class written for form filling (FPDM). If you are looking for a repository containing the main FPDF Library, please head over to github.com/Setasign/FPDF.

Once again, all credits to Olivier Plathey for providing an easy to use script for form filling in addition to his FPDF library!

Installation

Composer

The preferred way of making FPDM available in your app is to install it via composer with

composer require tmw/fpdm

Usage

Composer (autoload)

autoload FPDM class files by adding this to your code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Standalone Script (legacy)

Load the top level entry point by calling

require_once '/abolute/path/to/fpdm.php';

or

require_once './relative/path/to/fpdm.php';

Customization to original code

classmaps vs. psr-4 (or: legacy code vs modern frameworks á la Laravel)

Autoloading classes with namespaces and following PSR-4: Autoloader would be desireable. Especially reducing the risk of naming conflicts by using vendor namespaces.

However, FPDM has been around for a long time and as such is used in many projects that use non-namespaced code (I refer to them as legacy projects). Legacy projects instantiate FPDM by calling $mypdf = new FPDM() which is unqualified but defaults to the global namespace with non-namespaced code.

Using psr-4 would autoload the class to a subnamespace (e.g. \codeshell\fpdm\FPDM) instead of the global namespace (e.g. \FPDM) thus breaking any legacy code no matter if it used new FPDM() or new \FPDM().

Classmaps are a compromise. They allow taking advantage of composers autoloading and dependency management. Yet classes are added to the global namespace. Legacy projects can switch to composer without having to refactor their code. Newer projects (e.g. utilizing frameworks like laravel, that heavily rely on namespaces) can still use legacy classes by using the fully qualified name (in this case the class name prefixed with global prefix operator as in new \FPDM()).

That's my reasoning for using classmaps over psr-4 for FPDM. Please let me know if there are use cases where classmaps won't work with modern frameworks.

Checkboxes

I added support for checkboxes. The feature is not heavily tested but works for me. Can be enabled with useCheckboxParser = true like so:

You don't have to figure out the technical names of checkbox states. They are retrieved during the parsing process.

Description

This script allows to merge data into a PDF form. Given a template PDF with text fields, it's possible to inject values in two different ways:

The resulting document is produced by the Output() method, which works the same as for FPDF.

Note: if your template PDF is not compatible with this script, you can process it with PDFtk this way:

pdftk modele.pdf output modele2.pdf

Then try again with modele2.pdf.

Example

This example shows how to merge data from an array:
