fdf_open

Name

fdf_open — Opens a new FDF document.

Synopsis

resource fdf_open(filename); string filename: Filename

Returns

FDF document identifier or FALSE on error

Description

Opens a file with form data. This file must contain the data as returned from a PDF form. Currently, the file has to be created manually by using fopen() and writing the content of HTTP_FDF_DATA with fwrite() into it. No comparable mechanism exists like that in HTML, where form data creates a variable for each input field.

Version

Existing since versions 3.0.6 and 4.0

Example

Example 282. Create an FDF document identifier

// open and write the result data
$fdffp = fopen("test.fdf", "w");
fwrite($fdffp, $HTTP_FDF_DATA, strlen($HTTP_FDF_DATA));
fclose($fdffp);

// reopen the file with the results
$fdf = fdf_open("test.fdf");

// display/process etc

// close the file
fdf_close($fdf);
