fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMPDF_Exception' with message 'Box property calculation requires containing block width'

When I try to process url http://www.bbc.co.uk/ dompdf throws error

fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMPDF_Exception' with message 'Box property calculation requires containing block width'   in www\dompdf\include\block_frame_reflower.cls.php on line 171

It seems some settings or some bug?

Solution

  • DOMPDF_Exception is an extension of the Exception class. I'm not sure what parameters it will spit out, but you can dump the array out to see what is being returned:

    try{

}catch(DOMPDF_Exception $e){
    echo '<pre>',print_r($e),'</pre>';
}

    Also found this on Google Code that might help you narrow down, what the actual issue is: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/issues/detail?id=244
