Answer 1

I think your __construct in the pdf creation is problem, try this one in

    require_once("fpdf.php");
    class pdf extends FPDF
    {
      function __construct()
       {
          parent::FPDF();
       }
    }

Good one. That one really worked it for me. To add on this, it might be even more preferred to pass several parameters to the constructor and then to the FPDF class eg orientation etc. That is what i had to do for my page to be with landscape orientation: function __construct($orientation, $units, $size) { parent::FPDF($orientation, $units, $size); } – Olds

Answer 2

that's because you call the constructor of the fpdf library, change the fpdf library function (parameters) to __ construct (parameters), then spread it from your file. example: file : genpdf.php

<?php 
include('fpdf.php');
class Genpdf extends Fpdf{
    public function __construct()
    {
       parent::__construct();
    }
    public function build()
    {
       $this->AddPage();
       $this->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
       $this->Cell(40,10,'¡Hola, Mundo!');
       $this->Output();
    }
}

Try to remove the line $pdf->FancyTable($rs); and check if you get the PDF.

FancyTable only have the function to create the pdf file,when i will remove that how can it's work.... – Eckhart

I've done the download here of the FPDF 1.7 and tried your code. The only problem I had was with this line. Take a look at my example pastebin.com/JmDQwMLk – Scram

i don't what default value for pdf , i need to create a pdf from database..... $result is a result set......... – Eckhart

Here is a example where $rs could be from any source (database, xml, file and so on) pastebin.com/9k1FjgyZ – Scram

I look the file fpdf the issue in font part $this->CoreFonts was null, if i have remove the $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',14); the Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/irmt/library/class/fpdf/fpdf.php on line 1535 – Eckhart

Changing the PHP version to 7.4 worked for me
