I have created table using cells in FPDF..But Im not able to give padding for the cells and the text starts exactly near to the margin.How can we give a padding space at the beginning of the text.
I have attached the code here
$w = array(90, 20, 20, 12, 20); for($i=0;$i<count($header);$i++) { $this->Cell($w[$i],7,$header[$i],1,0,'L',true); } The output is as below
BUt I want it to be disaplyed with left padding as below
The FPDF Class has a protected property for cell margin:
protected $cMargin; // cell margin I'm not certain if the addition of this property post-dates the original post of this question, but it's available in Version: 1.83. However, there is no method to set this value, so it may be best to extend the class and add your own. For example:
class MyFPDF extends FPDF { function SetCellMargin($margin) { $this->cMargin = $margin; } } Change the class name "MyFPDF" to whatever you wish. You'll need to construct the PDF using this class name instead of "FPDF" and set the value to what you wish:
$pdf = new MyFPDF(); $pdf->SetCellMargin(4); I have done it by adding more space in string. For example, '...... .. . . . . . .Stock Code' (replace '.' with space).
It is a hardcore way, but it works for me.
$this -> Cell(80);
// Move to 8 cm to the right and the below cell follow on the same line
$this -> Cell($w[$i], 7, $header[$i], 1, 0, 'L', true);
