php html table page generates errors

    I have a page with php code to extract data from database and it creates an html page table structure with all the relevant data.
    I have placed a pdf button (manually) on the page and when I click on it, it generates an error indicating that it was trying to run the php script to extract data from the database and it fails at that point.

    Does this mean that for a pdf conversion to work, it should be a pure html page?

    I also have the whole html in a php variable, is there a way that I can pass this variable to this plugin to generate a pdf page?

    Hi ideepak3m,

    I think that you can accomplish these tasks doing template customizations, follow these information:
    https://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/doc/how-to-use-dk-pdf-templates-in-your-theme/
    https://www.dinamiko.com/dk-pdf-template-customization-woocommerce-tutorial/

    doing template customizations allows get data from WordPress database (like you do in theme templates), add your own HTML/CSS markup…

    try it and tell me ??

    Best.

    once you’ve the template dkpdf-index.php in your theme, you can try something like this for example:

    <?php
$content = whatever_function_get_content();
echo esc_html( $content );
?>

    Best.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Do I need to have woocommerce to create a template?

    Is there an other example you can think of?

    my real problem is that I have created an html in a php variable and I need to convert that html in the variable as a pdf and email it.

    Hi ideepak3m,

    no, woocommerce tutorial is just an example of template customization.

    try this:
    1 – copy plugins/dk-pdf/templates/dkpdf-index.php to the root of your theme in a folder named dkpdf
    2 – delete all code in this template and paste your own code there.

    Best.
