Convert HTML to PDF Using dompdf

I currently have a page that generates HTML and fills in fields based on $_GET values from the previous PHP page.

I would like to convert the HTML of the page that I am on to a PDF and load it.

Can anybody help me out?

For some reason I get this as an error on page load:

Warning: require_once(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in /var/www/html/asapweb/libs/full.php on line 2

Warning: require_once(http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /var/www/html/asapweb/libs/full.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/asapweb/libs/full.php on line 2

My page:

<?php
require_once("http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
ob_start();
?>

<?php
$html = ob_get_clean();
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
?>

Thanks in advance!

Try the below code 

include("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

Assuming that your dompdf_config.inc.php is available in following path.

/var/www/html/asapweb/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php

You can only require and include files using the local server path, not the external HTTP path. (unless you have allow_url_include set to true)

Change this line

 require_once("http://kenai.asap.um.maine.edu/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

to

 require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/asapweb/libs/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

This is assuming the path is correct from your server's docroot.
