That’s it. Very quick and simple. Now access your CodeIgniter application, you should get similar results:

Using mPDF with CodeIgniter 3

mPDF is a PHP library that allows you to generate PDF files from HTML content. In order to use mPDF with CodeIgniter 3, you can follow these steps:

Download the latest version of mPDF from the official website and extract it to your CodeIgniter project’s “third_party” folder. You can rename the folder to “mpdf” for easier access.

Create a new CodeIgniter library file in your “application/libraries” folder and name it “Pdf.php” (or any other name you prefer).

In the “Pdf.php” file, define a class named “Pdf” and include the mPDF library by requiring the “autoload.php” file:

mpdf = new Mpdf();
    }

    public function generate($html, $filename) {
        $this->mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
        $this->mpdf->Output($filename, 'D');
    }

}

In your CodeIgniter controller, load the Pdf library and use the “generate” method to generate the PDF file from HTML content:

load->library('pdf');

        $html = '
Hello, world!
';
        $filename = 'example.pdf';

        $this->pdf->generate($html, $filename);
    }

}

In this example, the “index” method generates a PDF file with the filename “example.pdf” containing the HTML content “

Hello, world!

“. The “generate” method of the Pdf library takes two parameters: the HTML content and the filename to save the PDF as.

Note that you can also configure the mPDF library by passing options to the constructor of the Pdf class, for example:

$this->mpdf = new Mpdf([
    'orientation' => 'P',
    'format' => 'A4'
]);

This sets the orientation to portrait and the format to A4. You can find more information about the available options in the mPDF documentation.
