TCPDF With PHP Variables

fjsosat 13 Jul, 2018

Hi, I'm facing an issue trying to generate a PFD document with Chronoforms 6.

I'm trying to print a random number in the form but it is not showed the portion of the code is

... html ....
<tr><td>Nro:
<?php
$d=mt_rand(1, 999999999);
echo $d ;
?>
</td>
...html....

it seems that the php code is ignored and nothing is echoed in the output pdf.

I would like to know if we can do this kind of things allowed with Chronoforms 5.

Thank you in advance

Hi fjsosat,

The simplest way is to use PHP action before the TCPDF action to create the variable code you need in the form data and then include the value as a short code in the TCPDF template.
