It’s a very bad thing to put class attributes in private mode.
This class is useless for me, since I can’t access attributes from a subclass…

Private mode is very restrictive and I use protected mode as often as I can.

Okay, I can confirm that Cell seems to work fine with ZF 1.7, it was an error on my part: be sure to set the page font /before/ passing the page to the Cell constructor, folks.

Is there any way you could show us an example of how to explicitly set one coordinate of the cell’s position while using one of the class’s positioning constants for the other (i.e. I need centered text at y=440)?

Actually, never mind… I’m getting the same error with ZF 1.6 and ZF 1.5, using the 1.5 version of Cell. Something else is going on.

I’m getting the same error as wladik above (“Fatal error: Call to a member function glyphNumbersForCharacters() on a non-object in Zend\Pdf\Cell.php on line 604) using either the 1.0 or 1.5 versions of Cell.php with ZF 1.7.

from:
public function getHeight() {
return $this->_height;
if ($this->isAutoWidth())

to:
public function getHeight() {
return $this->_height;
if ($this->isAutoHeight())

Hi Logan. I really like your class, but I’m afraid it still needs quite a lot of bugfixes until it can be considered “production ready”. It works good enough for my requirements, though.

I had to include some fixes for international character support, though. When an “UTF-8″ string has to be “wordwrapped” it’s loosing characters.

I have changed some functions to fix that bug. Going to send the fixed file to you by email.

Thanks for putting this out there, it works OK on Zend 1.5.3.

Couple things though :

1) You should automatically drop a line when encountering the newline character.

2) Absolute cell positioning option would be very helpful.

Not working with ZF 1.6.
Was able to fix it by removing
“cmap->”
from line 604.

Hi Bernhard,

As I have encountered the same problem, I have mailed Logan a patch for this bug. I hope he releases/publishes it soon. I can’t post it here as the stripslashes function he calls on each post will corrupt the code. Leave your mail address on here and I’ll send it to you by mail…

Greets,
