This has been asked to some degree before but there are no solutions or accepted answers and I'd like to try and be more comprehensive in my question so:
I'm trying to WKHTMLTOPDF up and running via PHP on a shared server (in this case it's MediaTemple (gs)). According to the host there is no reason this won't work and in fact it is working via SSH. So...
I've tried a variety of things, the most basic does nothing, just silently fails:
exec("/path/to/binary/wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com pdf1.pdf");
- Source: Question on Stack Overflow
The full PHP bindings along with the following give me errors, which despite my best Googling I can't figure out:
Call:
$html = file_get_contents("http://www.google.com");
$pdf = new WKPDF();
$pdf->set_html($html);
$pdf->render();
$pdf->output(WKPDF::$PDF_EMBEDDED,'sample.pdf');
- Source: WKHTMLTOPDF on Google Code
Error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'WKPDF didn't return
any data. <pre>Loading pages (1/6) [> ] 0% [======> ] 10% terminate called
after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc </pre>'
in /path/to/wkhtmltopdf.php:206 Stack trace: #0 /path/to/index.php(8):
WKPDF->render() #1 {main} thrown in /path/to/wkhtmltopdf.php on line 206
And once I got this (below is an extract as I can't reproduce it now):
Qt Concurrent has caught an exception thrown from a worker thread. This is not
supported, exceptions thrown in worker threads must be caught before
control returns to Qt Concurrent.
I've also tried a few other options but with the same results; no PDF. So what do I do now, how do I figure out what's wrong? My PHP level is on the basic side but I'll do my best.
