This hack has worked fine for me in the past, but today one of my members tried it and logged the following error with me

Quote:

FPDF error: GIF parser: unable to open file images/aria/misc/logo.gif

I have just tried to use this hack on my forum and got the same error.

I have checked and the requested file logo.gif is in the directory that FPDF is looking for it so I can't understand this error.

I am running vB 3.5.4. Hopefully someone will have a solution.

This can happen, but only if you upload new GIF's. CHMOD should help here

Hi it doesn't work for me I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: cgif in /home/pa1728/public_html/forums/html2fpdf/fpdf.php on line 2216

It did work on another style, which is deleted, but now it doesn't. Any advice for a simpleton?

Just installed it. Took about 3 minutes. Nice hack, thanks! I like the output format too!

Just curious, how much strain will this place on my hosting companies server?

Is anyone using this with vB 3.6?

It didn't worked nicely at 3.5.x so I didn't try out.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
