Yeah, it still fails if session_start is the first line.
First line, last line, same result.

What I may have to do, if I can’t figure out a way to get around it, is to load the page, do all the work to build the html, and then put the data into a hidden form field, submit the form to the same page and check to make sure the $_post field isn’t empty, then show it with dompdf…

Round about but at least it should work.

It seems your problem is session specific. Use session_start() as the first statement of the page and see what happens.

For example:


     session_start();
 
     //all includes
     include('some_file.php');
     /**
      * PHP codes
      */
?>

Just using the pdftest.php page worked in IE, but if I put the session_start() anywhere on the page, it fails.
Still works in FF though…

I played around with it a little more, and part of the code I was using to create the page was an include that had session_start(); to access some session variables (such as username) in order to load the correct information.
when I removed the session_start from the page, it fixed that problem, but it won’t give me all the correct data because it’s not loading the session data.

Now I just have to figure out how to either make session_start() work with dompdf in IE, or figure out how to get the data I need without using it at all…

The change you made seems alright. Try using following code:

$options['Attachment'] = 1;
$options['Accept-Ranges'] = 0;
$options['compress'] = 1;
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf", $options);

I am having the same problem with IE.
I’m using version 0.5.1
My pdflib_adapter.cls.php looks like this starting at line 833:

    //header("Cache-Control: private");
    header("Content-type: application/pdf");
    header("Content-Disposition: $attach; filename=\"$filename\"");
 
	if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE"))
	{
		 header('Expires: 0');
		 header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
		 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
		 header('Pragma: public');
		 header("Content-Length: ".strlen($data));
	}
	else
	{
		 header("Cache-Control: private");
		 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
		 header('Expires: 0');
		 header('Pragma: no-cache');
		 header("Content-Length: ".strlen($data));
	}

When I use $dompdf->stream(“sample.pdf”, array(“Attachment” => 0)); nothing happens at all, when I remove the array(“Attachment” => 0) the save file dialog pops up, but then an error appears saying that the page can’t be loaded.

Just checking to see if I did anything wrong with your instructions.
