fdf_open

fdf_open -- Open a FDF document

Description

int fdf_open(string filename);

The fdf_open() function opens a file with form data. This file must contain the data as returned from a PDF form. Currently, the file has to be created 'manually' by using fopen() and writing the content of HTTP_FDF_DATA with fwrite() into it. A mechanism like for HTML form data where for each input field a variable is created does not exist.

Example 1. Accessing the form data

  1 
  2 <?php
  3 // Save the FDF data into a temp file
  4 $fdffp = fopen("test.fdf", "w");
  5 fwrite($fdffp, $HTTP_FDF_DATA, strlen($HTTP_FDF_DATA));
  6 fclose($fdffp);
  7 
  8 // Open temp file and evaluate data
  9 $fdf = fdf_open("test.fdf");
 10 ...
 11 fdf_close($fdf);
 12 ?>
 13
