loading dynamic html into dompdf using php

hello i'm working on a script which will dynamically load html using file_get_contents and will generate and save the pdf on the server but somehow my php file is giving me 500 internal server error so is there any other way to load the html into dompdf here is my code

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

require("includes/check_auth_user.php");
require("includes/dbconnect.php");
include ('includes/function.php');
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

$mvouch = $_REQUEST["vouchno"];
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$html =file_get_contents("http://www.myurl.com/project/file_to_be_loaded.php?vouchno=$mvouch");
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$output = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents("/files/report.pdf", $output);
echo "<h1>DONE!!!</h1>";
?>

If you use centos as the server, this is the solution to Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /var/www/html/include/dompdf.cls.php on line 177:

To install PHP-XML run the following command: yum install php-xml

To install DOM/XML run the following command: yum whatprovides php-dom

To restart Apache run the following command: service httpd restart

This should do it!

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

require('includes/check_auth_user.php');
require('includes/dbconnect.php');
include ('includes/function.php');
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();

require_once('file_to_be_loaded.php?vouchno='.$mvouch');

$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$output = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents('/files/report.pdf', $output);
echo '<h1>DONE!!!</h1>';
?>

Perhaps you want to have a dynamic filename on the reportfile aswell and sort folders by year/MONTH

$month  = date('Ym');
$date= Date("Y-m-d");
$time = Date("His");
$filename = 'files/'.$month.'/report'.$date.'_'.$time.'.pdf';
        if (!is_dir("files/".$month)) {
          // dir doesn't exist, make it
          mkdir("files/".$month);
}
file_put_contents($filename, $output);

file_to_be_loaded.php - should look something like this

$html = '
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <html lang="sv">
</head>
<body>';
$html .='<h2>Report</h2>';
$html .='
</body>
</html>';
