how to embed PDF file into iframe using php

I have simple PDF file in my directory and I use fopen to open PDF file. When I try to embed it on into html iframe, the file is not showing up. I know I can specify the source as iframe attribute but I want to do it using PHP.

<?php
$myfile = fopen("http://ipaddress/file.pdf", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");
fclose($myfile);
?>

<body>
<iframe src="<?php $myfile; ?>#toolbar=0&navpanes=0&scrollbar=0" width="1000" height="1000"></iframe>
</body>
Solution

  • This should do the trick.

    <body>
<iframe src="http://ipaddress/file.pdf" width="1000" height="1000"></iframe>
</body>

    If the file is local you can put local file URL. But the file will not be accessible on internet. For example:

     file:///D:/WebDesign/HTML/test/file.pdf
