php-tcpdfHow do I install TCPDF with Composer in a PHP project?


  1. Install Composer if it is not already installed.
  2. Create a composer.json file in the root directory of the project and add the following code:
{
    "require": {
        "tecnickcom/tcpdf": "^6.2"
    }
}
  1. Run the command composer install in the project root directory.
  2. This will install the TCPDF library in the vendor directory of the project.
  3. Include the autoloader in the project by adding the following line at the top of the PHP file:
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
  1. To use the library, use the use keyword to import the namespace:
use \TCPDF;
  1. Create a new instance of the TCPDF class and use it to generate PDF documents:
$pdf = new TCPDF();
