dompdf page break tutorial part 1

dompdf is a popular php library that converts html and css to pdf documents. in this tutorial, we'll explore how to manage page breaks effectively in a pdf generated with dompdf. we'll cover the basics of setting up dompdf, and we'll look at how to control page breaks using html and css.

prerequisites

before we start, make sure you have the following:

1. a server environment with php installed (like xampp, wamp, etc.).
2. composer installed on your system.
3. basic knowledge of php and html.

step 1: install dompdf

to install dompdf, we will use composer. open your terminal and navigate to your project directory, then run:



this command will download and install the dompdf library and its dependencies.

step 2: create a simple php script

create a new php file (e.g., `generate_pdf.php`) in your project directory. in this file, we will set up a basic dompdf configuration and generate a pdf.



explanation of the code

1. **autoload**: we include the composer autoloader to load the dompdf library.
2. **options**: we configure options for dompdf, such as the default font and enabling html5 parsing.
3. **html content**: we define the html content to be converted into a pdf. the `page-break-after: always;` style creates a page break after the first section.
4. **load html**: we load the html content into dompdf.
5. **set paper size**: we set the paper size and orientation (a4 and portrait).
6. **render pdf**: we render the pdf document.
7. **stream pdf**: finally, we output the pdf to the browser.

step 3: run your script
