How to Center Text in FPDF?

Question

How can I have this generated text appear centered in the page.

Generated = $_POST method ... so I don't know how long will the text in input be. I need to have a pre-determined center parameter somehow.

Any ideas? Maybe like this:

MultiCell(0,$height,"text",0,'C') ?

Answer 1

Normally it's $pdf->Cell(0, $height, "text", 0, 0, 'C'); but if you're doing it in a Header or Footer function it's $this->Cell(0, $height, "text", 0, 0, 'C'). Don't forget to declare $height as a global if you're doing this in a function() call.

Thanks taur! This works for me:

$mid_x = 135; // the middle of the "PDF screen", fixed by now.
$text = $userFullName;
$pdf_file->Text($mid_x - ($pdf_file->GetStringWidth($text) / 2), 102, $text);
