Export package - pass parameters

EGROW SOLUTIONS, LLC commented on Jun 23, 2018

Hello I am using export package to print reports dynamically - How do I pass parameters to the export file How do I pass id to the filename?

$strFileName = 'myReport.php';
$id = $_POST['id']
require_once("/koolreport/autoload.php");
   use \koolreport\instant\Exporter;
   Exporter::export($strFileName)
    ->pdf(array(
        "format"=>"A4",
        "orientation"=>"portrait"
    )) ->toBrowser("out.pdf",true);

Hi,

May be inside myReport.php, you do sth like this

<?php
//myReport.php
$id = $_POST['id'];
//now you have the $id

Currently the Exporter does not support argument like above, you may setup a full report for exporting or wait for next version of Instant package.

This will not work to push series of files to browser like above. Only single file should be pushed to browser to open. The multiple PDF generated only support saving to server drive with saveAs() method.
