Email and PDF do not work?

Feb 11, 2010 09:41pm theampersand Total Posts: 4	Hi all, Just downloaded and installed a fresh install, set everything up with no hassles at all. Entered my first invoice and went to email it to the client then BANG! When I click the “Generate PDF” or “Email Invoice” buttons I get the following error: /*************************/ A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Warning Message: domdocument::domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given Filename: include/dompdf.cls.php Line Number: 167 Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘Australia/Melbourne’ for ‘11.0/DST’ instead in C:\xampp\htdocs\bambooinvoice\bamboo_system_files\libraries\Log.php on line 89 Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings.

Sorry, I basically don’t know anything about server administration on Windows. Do you have access to a professionally hosted site? Hi Derek, Nice work by the way! To answer your question, I do. However, I have XAMPP for Windows running on my laptop, and I don’t really need/want it hosted externally, as I’m just a solo contractor. XAMPP, is just Apache/MySQL/PHP bundled together. It seems to be sh$ting itself with the PDF generation part (i think)? Does the “Email invoice” feature start generating a PDF or does it email a HTML/Text version of the invoice? Thanks.

At the very top of it you’ll see `<?php /* \|--------------------------------------------------------------- \| PHP ERROR REPORTING LEVEL \|---------------------------------------------------------------` Below “<?php” and above “/” put `date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');` So that your new first few lines look like this `<?php date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto'); / \|--------------------------------------------------------------- \| PHP ERROR REPORTING LEVEL \|---------------------------------------------------------------` You can change “America/Toronto” to whatever best describes your location based on the options here. Let me know if that fixes it up for you. I’m still not sure why you’re the only person whose ever had (or at least reported) this, but I think that should fix it up.

Hi Derek, I tried that, and it did tidy up the date errors, but the fatal error is this one theampersand - Feb 12, 2010 03:33pm Fatal error: Call to undefined method domdocument::loadHTML() in C:\xampp\htdocs\bambooinvoice\bamboo_system_files\plugins\dompdf\include\dompdf.cls.php on line 286 Still not working :( I noticed you said on the site that the demo isn’t working because you were updating the code base. Is the new code ready for downloading? Hoping this may fix what-ever is wrong?

I’d like to do so, but time (as always) works against me here. If you are technically minded, you could try updating the PDF code on your own - you’ll find it at http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/
