CodeIgniter中Dompdf循环生成多PDF文件失败及异常求助

在CodeIgniter中使用Dompdf循环为每个用户生成独立PDF文件时，仅能成功生成第一份，后续循环抛出Dompdf\Exception异常，提示"No block-level parent found. Not good."

尝试的代码 #

public function export_information(){

    $this->load->library('pdf');
    $export_info_sql = "SELECT * FROM offences_issued";
    $export_info_query = $this->db->query($export_info_sql);
    $export_info_result = $export_info_query->result();

    $query_html = "";
    $counter = 1;
    foreach ($export_info_result as $offence) {         

    $directory_path = FCPATH."offences/".$counter.".pdf";   

    $query_html .= "<table width=100% border=1>";
        $query_html .= "<tr><th>Offence ID</th></tr>";
        $query_html .= "<tr><td>".$offence->issued_id."</td></tr>";
    $query_html .= "</table>";

    $this->pdf->loadHtml($query_html);
    $this->pdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
    $this->pdf->render();       
    $output = $this->pdf->output();

        if (!file_exists($directory_path)) {            
            file_put_contents($directory_path, $output);
        }

    $counter++; 

    }       
    // echo $query_html;
    // exit;    

}

问题原因与修复方案 #

1. HTML结构异常：$query_html使用.=拼接，每次循环会累加之前的HTML内容，导致Dompdf解析重复嵌套的表格时出错，需在每次循环开始时重置$query_html。
2. 实例状态污染：同一个Dompdf实例重复调用渲染方法会残留之前的状态，建议每次循环重新初始化实例。
3. 文件生成逻辑限制：!file_exists($directory_path)会跳过已存在的文件，若需要覆盖旧文件可移除该判断。

修正后的代码 #

public function export_information(){
    $export_info_sql = "SELECT * FROM offences_issued";
    $export_info_query = $this->db->query($export_info_sql);
    $export_info_result = $export_info_query->result();

    $counter = 1;
    foreach ($export_info_result as $offence) {         
        // 每次循环重置HTML内容，添加完整文档结构
        $query_html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>";
        $directory_path = FCPATH."offences/".$counter.".pdf";   

        $query_html .= "<table width=100% border=1>";
            $query_html .= "<tr><th>Offence ID</th></tr>";
            $query_html .= "<tr><td>".$offence->issued_id."</td></tr>";
        $query_html .= "</table></body></html>";

        // 每次循环重新初始化Dompdf实例
        $this->load->library('pdf');
        $pdf = $this->pdf;
        
        $pdf->loadHtml($query_html);
        $pdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
        $pdf->render();       
        $output = $pdf->output();

        // 直接生成文件，覆盖已存在的文件
        file_put_contents($directory_path, $output);

        // 销毁实例避免内存占用
        unset($pdf);
        $counter++; 
    }       
}

额外优化建议 #

• 给HTML添加完整的文档结构（DOCTYPE、html、body标签），提升Dompdf解析稳定性。
• 若处理大量数据，可添加内存限制：ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');，避免内存溢出。
