For php4 I have no problem with setting up pdf support but for php5 I encounter a problem:

I've enabled the php extension in the php.ini file in the php5 directory by adding this line:

extension=php_pdflib.dll

But I encounter a problem when I try to execute the pdf demo script (copied from php.net):

<?php

try {
$p = new PDFlib();

/* open new PDF file; insert a file name to create the PDF on disk */
if ($p->begin_document("c:\\temp\\test5.pdf", "") == 0) {
die("Error: " . $p->get_errmsg());
}

$p->set_info("Creator", "hello.php");
$p->set_info("Author", "Rainer Schaaf");
$p->set_info("Title", "Hello world (PHP)!");

$p->begin_page_ext(595, 842, "");

$font = $p->load_font("Helvetica-Bold", "winansi", "");

$p->setfont($font, 24.0);
$p->set_text_pos(50, 700);
$p->show("Hello world!");
$p->continue_text("(says PHP)");
$p->end_page_ext("");

$p->end_document("");

$buf = $p->get_buffer();
$len = strlen($buf);

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hello.pdf");
print $buf;
}
catch (PDFlibException $e) {
die("PDFlib exception occurred in hello sample:\n" .
"[" . $e->get_errnum() . "] " . $e->get_apiname() . ": " .
$e->get_errmsg() . "\n");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
die($e);
}
$p = 0;

?>

I get following error:
Internal server error. Failed to read fastcgi header

What am I doing wrong or what did I forget to configure?

Help or suggestions are appreciated!!!

Rob

As far as I remember, php_pdflib.dll is not stable.
Perhaps, it crashed in your case.
I tried to run your code with php-cgi.exe and got
PDFlib exception (fatal): [1202] PDF_set_parameter: Unknown key 'objorient'
If you you cant resolve this problem, please contact php-general news group and as for help with pdflib.

Otherwise I'd recommend you to find pdf classes written in pure PHP. They work much better
