Problems with FPDF and Euro symbol
I've searched for ages, and nothing worked - until I used this: utf8_encode(chr(128))
You actually can generate a PDF with euro signs using FPDF with using euro ascii code: chr(128)
.
It's good practice to make this a constant. At the top of your script, add:
define('EURO',chr(128));
Now you can use EURO
in your script to print the euro symbol.
For example:
"Costs: ".EURO.100
Will output: Costs: €100
Note: This will also work for other symbols with chr(ascii)
, where ascii
is the ascii code of the symbol.
