Tcpdf Error :Unable to Get the Size of the Image

TCPDF error :Unable to get the size of the image

This might be due to filesize() failing to stat() the remote image file via the HTTP wrapper (since the wrapper doesn't support it).

According to the TCPDF image() method documentation you can pass the image data in directly by prepending it with an @ symbol. So you could get the raw image data and then pass it to TCPDF like so:

$img = file_get_contents('http://example.com/wp-content/themes/example/map_image_leasing.php/?city=Calgary&suit_type=&min_area=&max_area=');

$pdf->Image('@' . $img, 55, 19, '', '', 'JPG', '', 'T', false, 300, '', false, false, 0, false, false, false);

Note that I haven't tested this (and the TCPDF documentation is sparse) so you might need to experiment a little to get it to work correctly.

Edit:

This is a fully working example (on my PC). Use this to test if you can successfully retrieve the image and output the PDF to your browser. Of course you'll need to set a known valid path for the image!

<?php

require './tcpdf/tcpdf.php';

$pdf = new TCPDF();

$pdf->AddPage();

$img = file_get_contents('http://path/to/your.jpg');
$pdf->Image('@' . $img);

$pdf->Output();

?>

TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image

Apparently the "fopen"-wrappers are not used by TCPDF.

If you supply the URL of an image, TCPDF tries to download it with cURL into the "cache"-directory where your TCPDF-installation is stored (you have to check what the K_PATH_CACHE-constant contains to be sure).

So I guess you have to have write permissions in this directory that the magic works. Also you need cURL enabled.

How to fix: Unable to get the size of the image [] with HTML2PDF

Problem solved

For some reason in vendor\spipu\html2pdf\src\Html2Pdf.php

protected function _tag_open_IMG($param)
{

  print_r($param);

    $src    = str_replace('&', '&', $param['src']);

im getting result like this

Array ( 
[style] => Array ( ) 
[alt] => 
[src] => 
[href] => https://my.hostname.co.uk/assets/company/logo-png-3.png
[num] => 1 
) 

so i just change

$src    = str_replace('&', '&', $param['src']);

to

$src    = str_replace('&', '&', $param['href']);

How to catch TCPDF Exception TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get the size of the image

In general an ERROR can not be catched. You have to transform your error to an exception so you can catch it but this isnt a best practise.

Its better you test your $renderedView for the image size before you put it to TCPDF
