hi How to display results in Thailand fonts plz help me
What happens when you try it? What output do you get?
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the video, I thought I messed something up, but the gutenberg doesn't work with the above code either, any idea what the cause might be?
thanks, Roland
@rolandart I just tried it and it didn't work with the unpkg.com CSS file for some reason - I changed it to this one and it worked:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/gutenberg.min.css">

Thank you Dave!
Temporarily solved with a local file.
great a clear and easy to understand video thank you so much. Would love to see a more complex form with lots of boxes and lines and shading.
Hi Dave, This is a very intuitive video and is helping me understand a lot more things about generating a PDF, I do have one question though...All of my data is being processed into a .php file, so is it possible to pass my template.php through to the file_get_contents?
Regards,
Mark.
@Maazter Sorry Mark, only just saw this notification - no, you can't use file_get_contents to get the output from a PHP script, as it won't execute it. You can use output buffering with require though, something like this:
ob_start();
require 'path/to/file.php';
$output = ob_get_clean();
Hi Dave,
Thnx for the reply, no worries for it being late :-), I solved this by creating a html page on the fly, then sending that to the file_get_contents, I suppose it's a bit of work around, but as I am using this functionality already to keep some of my PHP separate from my html I decided to re-use it.
Anyway thank you again for a most excellent video.
Mark.
idont get thoes lines, even if i copypase your hole code. i also downloaded gutenberg and linked it localy and no change.
just wondering why
Hi Daveh,
