Dynamic Invoice - beta version Create and manage invoices directly from database (Added in version 4.5)

Now, pdocrud support invoice generation directly from database. A new invoice layout is added to support the generation of invoice easily. Currently it is in beta release. We will release full featured invoice generation in next version. Please check the comments of the code to understand how it works.

PDF generation helps you automate various tasks including automatic calculations of various totals, generation of pdf in various invoice format. You will need xInvoice - Generate beautifully designed invoices dynamically in order to generate invoice pdf. You need to put xinvoice script in the library folder.

Database used for this demo contains 5 tables. You can design the database as you want.

  • Client table - Contains the information about client you are sending invoice
  • Company table - Contains the information about your company
  • Product table - Contains the information about the products
  • Order table - It contains the main details about the order. We will save main details like order number, date, total amount etc in this table
  • Order item table - It contains the information about items of order, it will be joined to main order table using order_id primary of main order table.

  
                $pdocrud = new PDOCrud();
                // set header fields of invoice. These fields basically will be shown before the
                // items table. Rest fields will be shown after the items table
                $headerFields = array("order_number", "order_date","company_id","client_id", "order_due_date");
                $pdocrud->setInvoiceDetails($headerFields);

                // This will add the print invoice pdf button. Please note that you need to 
                // buy xinvoice script to use this operation.
