如何在Linux上用PHP将HTML / CSS转换为PDF
I have been trying to convert an html page to PDF with out any luck, I have tried to use wkhtmltopdf (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/) and the PHP class provided by the same developers (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/IntegrationWithPhp) although the following command executed correctly in terminal:
wkhtmltopdf http:/www.googl.com test.pdf
I was unable to execute the command in PHP because of the following error: cannot connect to X server.
Can any one provide me with a step-by-step tutorial in order to be able to convert html/css to PDF file, whether using wkhtmltopdf or any other decent solution.
Thanks in advance
here is the class that i have used http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/IntegrationWithPhp
and below is my code
$html = file_get_contents("test.html");
$pdf = new WKPDF();
$pdf->set_html($html);
$pdf->render();
$pdf->output(WKPDF::$PDF_EMBEDDED,'sample.pdf');
Below is the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'WKPDF didn't return any data.
/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf: /opt/lampp/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available

I found the solution, The following error "No protocol specified wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server :0" was basically caused by on old version of "wkhtmltopdf" which was installed using apt-get. The solution was to download the static binary from the code.google using the following link: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
and then perform the following actions:
tar -jxvf wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0-static.tar.bz2
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs
Next, you’ll have to make a symbolic link pointing to WKHTMLTOPDF in /usr/bin.
sudo ln -s /full_path/WKHTMLTOPDF /usr/bin/WKHTMLTOPDF
