'MPDF undefined index error

I am using MPDF library to convert HTML to PDF.

Here is my code.

$HTML = '{HTML CONTENT GOES HERE}'; //HTML STRING

$MPDF->WriteHTML($html); // Converting

$MPDF->Output('preview.pdf','F'); //Saving to a File

It works , but generating too much errors in error log ,

ERROR - 2012-11-10 04:45:50 --> Severity: Notice  --> Undefined index: BODY C:\wamp\www\crm\application\libraries\mpdf.php 14242

anybody have some working experience with this library ? (If it only outputs some errors then we can fix it by changing on the library , but here it gives too much error) , i think that i am missing something.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Add following at top of mpdf.php

error_reporting(0);

This will resolved the issue.

Still found no real solution (has anyone?). As a workaround, I patched mpdf.php directly in nearly 20 places.

Before:

$variable[possible_wrong_index];

After:

(isset($variable[possible_wrong_index]))?$variable[possible_wrong_index]:false;

There are some if-statements, which were trickier. But now I have no errors in the log and the generated pdf seems to be no affected by this.

(I'm aware that this is a hacky workaround, but it works for the moment - the real fun starts with updates of mpdf :)

I had the very same problem. The HTML code was well formed, but it didn't help.
I modified the class mpdf.php. I added the check, whether the index is set on each reported line.
Like this

if(isset($p[$tag])){
      $this->_mergeCSS($p[$tag], $t);
    }

I don´t know exactly why did it happen, but I Had the same problem and I solved it placing the 'include 'MPDFxx/mpdf.php' at the top of the function where I was calling the WriteHTML function. BTW I've found it using MPDF57.

Solution 5:[5]

If table used in html view. than make sure td tag is inside tr tag.

Otherwise mpdf retrns undefined index: l
