Export package - passing parameters

EGROW SOLUTIONS, LLC commented on Nov 4, 2018

Hello,

I am exporting a html file like below - this does not work - is there a way to pass parameters?

$template = "myReportTemplate.php?id=25&s=0";
use \koolreport\instant\Exporter;
   Exporter::export($template)
    ->pdf(array(
        "format"=>"Letter",
        "orientation"=>"portrait",
        "margin"=>array(
          "top"=>"0.5in",
          "bottom"=>"0.5in",
          "left"=>"0.5in",
          "right"=>"0.5in"
        )
    ))
    ->toBrowser("exported-report.pdf",true);

Currently you may use the $GLOBALS variables.

$GLOBALS["exporter"] =array(
    "id"=>25,
    "a"=>0,
);

$template = "myReportTemplate.php?id=25&s=0";
use \koolreport\instant\Exporter;
   Exporter::export($template)
    ->pdf(array(
        "format"=>"Letter",
        "orientation"=>"portrait",
        "margin"=>array(
          "top"=>"0.5in",
          "bottom"=>"0.5in",
          "left"=>"0.5in",
          "right"=>"0.5in"
        )
    ))
    ->toBrowser("exported-report.pdf",true);

And then in your myReportTemplate you can access the $GLOBALS["exporter"]

It sounds not yet a nice solution but it works for now. We will find improvement for this.

Hello,

Did you guys improved this or it still the only solution?

Thank you.

Thanks for asking, yes, we have improved it, now you can do:

Exporter::export("myfile.php",array(
    "param1"=>"value1",
    "param2"=>"value2",
))->pdf(array(
    "format"=>"Letter",
    "orientation"=>"portrait",    
))->toBrowser("myfile.pdf",true);

In the myfile.php, you will receive parameters with $param1, $param2.

Note: This improvement belongs to Instant package

Hope that helps.
