Hello,
I have written a php function that takes information from Dolibarr’s Supplier_Invoice using the REST API and parses the data I need to create a particular PDF form my company requires to be submitted for payment.
I am using the tcpdf library and php to create the pdf form and display it on the local computer for printing. Additionally, I want to take a copy of the pdf and save it back to Dolibarr ECM.
Currently I am able to create the pdf form and save it locally to view it and print it. My problem is when I try to save the file back to Dolibarr I sometimes get a corrupt file saved in the ECM. But with some invoices it saves and reads just fine.
I am using tcpdf ($pdf->Output( $filename, “E”) to create a base64 encoded string, then pass that string to the REST API via POST Documents.
My function to achieve this is below:
<?php
// POST file to dolibarr api
function fcn_postPDFDocument($logger, $apiKey, $apiUrl, $pdfFileName, $modulepart, $ref, $attachment)
{
$apiEndpoint = "documents/upload";
$parameters = [
"filename" => "$pdfFileName",
"modulepart" => "$modulepart",
"ref" => "$ref",
"subdir" => "",
"filecontent" => "chunk_split(file_get_contents($attachment))",
"fileencoding" => "base64",
"overwriteifexists" => "1",
"createdirifnotexists" => "1"
];
$arrPostDocument = callAPI("POST", $apiKey, $apiUrl . "/" . $apiEndpoint, json_encode($parameters));
$arrPostDocument = json_decode($arrPostDocument, true);
if (isset($arrPostDocument["error"]) && $arrPostDocument["error"]["code"] >= "300") {
echo "<br>Error in fcn_postPDFDocument - " . json_encode($arrPostDocument["error"]["message"]);
$logger->critical(json_encode($arrPostDocument));
exit;
}
return $arrPostDocument;
}
If I remove the chunk_split from
“filecontent” => “chunk_split(file_get_contents($attachment))”,
to this:
“filecontent” => “file_get_contents($attachment)”,
the files that were originally created successfully get corrupted, but the original files that were corrupt will create ok.
Sorry, I know this is long winded but any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
