[Anonymous]

Hello,
it is the first time i use FPDF to generate pdf file with php script. After i use the testing file

<?php
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','../font/');
require('../fpdf.php');

$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

to generate the hello wold pdf file.

After i tested it, it work in mozilla explorer but cannot work in IE. In IE, the output just show many characters not pdf file:

That usually happens to me when you are viewing a page that was previously in the cache. Delete your cache exit the browser and try again.

You have to use the header() function to send the correct headers to the browser, so that it knows that it's recieving a PDF document. This is covered, of course, in the documentation. See Example 2.
