Inserting an image with PHP and FPDF

Question

I m trying to insert an image but do not want to specify the x and y coordinates  Is that possible    pdf- gt Image  image1  5  70  33 78     I want to be able to specify the size  33 78  but not the x and y so that it moves based on the content    pdf- gt Write  70   reportTitle     pdf- gt Ln  45     pdf- gt SetFont   Arial       12     pdf- gt Write  6   reportSubtitle           Create product 1      pdf- gt Ln  10     pdf- gt SetFont   Arial       12     pdf- gt Write  6   prod1title     pdf- gt Ln  30     pdf- gt SetFont   Arial       10     pdf- gt Write  5   prod1sub     pdf- gt Ln  30     pdf- gt Image  image1  5  70  33 78     The above is the code I use  If  reportSubtitle is two or three lines  it pushes  prod1title and   prod1sub down  and inevitably under the image that is fixed  Is there no way to have the image act like the product title and subtitle and be pushed down too while still declaring the size

You can t treat a PDF like an HTML document  Images can t  float  within a document and have things flow around them  or flow with surrounding text  FPDF allows you to embed html in a text block  but only because it parses the tags and replaces  lt i gt  and  lt b gt  and so on with Postscript equivalent commands  It s not smart enough to dynamically place an image   In other words  you have to specify coordinates  and if you don t  the current location s coordinates will be used anyways

You can use  pdf- gt GetX   and  pdf- gt GetY   to get current cooridnates and use them to insert image    pdf- gt Image  image1  5   pdf- gt GetY    33 78    or even   pdf- gt Image  image1  5  null  33 78     ALthough in first case you can add a number to create a bit of a space    pdf- gt Image  image1  5   pdf- gt GetY     5  33 78

I figured it out  and it s actually pretty straight forward   Set your variable    image1    img products image1 jpg     Then ceate a cell  position it  then rather than setting where the image is  use the variable you created above with the following    this- gt Cell  40  40   pdf- gt Image  image1   pdf- gt GetX     pdf- gt GetY    33 78   0  0   L   false      Now the cell will move up and down with content if other cells around it move   Hope this helps others in the same boat
