Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in PHP

The following example creates an instance of the Report Engine class TVpeControl named "Report".

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "nFree" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written by the integrated PDF Library as PDF file. Finally, the document is closed by calling CloseDoc.

function CreateDocument()
{

$Report = new TVpeControl;
$Report->OpenDoc();
$Report->Print(1.5, 1, "Hello World!");
$Report->Picture(1.5, 2, $Report->nFree, $Report->nFree, "example.jpg");
$Report->WriteDoc("My Document.pdf");
$Report->CloseDoc();

}

Customer's Responses

"I have been constantly fighting with the limitations of Seagate Crystal Reports to get the reports that I want. Now, with VPE, I'm glad to have found a reporting tool that offers all the freedom I need. I have not yet come across a problem that VPE couldn't handle! Thanks for your help!"
