Question

The data will be fetched from the model and will be passed right beside "Pay Slip for the month of". Please help.

My Controller Action

public function actionPrintsalarystatement($id) {

        //$model =  Salary::find()->where(['s_id' => $id]);
        $model = $this->findModel($id);
        $searchModel  = new SalarySearch();
        $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
        $data         = Salary::findOne($id);
        $content = $this->renderPartial('_printSalarystatement', ['model' => $model,'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,'searchModel'  => $searchModel,'data'=> $data]);
        $pdf = new Pdf([
            'mode'=> Pdf::MODE_UTF8,
            'format'=> Pdf::FORMAT_A4,
            'destination'=> Pdf::DEST_BROWSER,
            //'destination' => Pdf::DEST_DOWNLOAD,
            'cssFile' => '@vendor/kartik-v/yii2-mpdf/assets/kv-mpdf-bootstrap.min.css',
            // any css to be embedded if required
            'cssInline' => '.kv-heading-1{font-size:18px}', 
             // set mPDF properties on the fly
            'options' => ['title' => 'Print Payslip'],
             // call mPDF methods on the fly
            'methods' => [
                'SetHeader'=>['Private and Confidential'], 
                'SetFooter'=>['This Payslip is computer generated.'],
            ],
            'content'     => $content,


        ]);
        return $pdf->render();
        //return $this->render('_printSalarystatement', ['period' => 's_period']);
    }

_printSalarystatement.php

<?php

            's_ptax',
            's_takehome',
        ],
    ]) ?>

</div>

By the controller action I get the following screen

What I want is to pass the period that is in the detailview to be shown after the line "Pay Slip for the month of ". mY question is how to do that

Answer 1

You need to pass data from the controller action to the view you are rendering.

e.g lets hope you want to send $name variable from index action to view

Action will be like

public function actionIndex()
    {
        return $this->render('index', ['name' => 'Tanmay']);
    }

Now the array you passed in the 2nd argument of render function is your variable list. All the keys will be treated as variable in the index view

The code for the index view will be

<h1>Welcome <?= $name; ?>

that is ['name' => 'Tanmay'] will be converted to $name having value 'Tanmay'

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Updated according to the updated Question:

$content = $this->renderPartial('_printSalarystatement', [
'model' => $model,
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'searchModel'  => $searchModel,
'data'=> $data,
's_period' => $s_period // new variable added
]
);

in Controller

in view:

<p class="text-center">Pay Slip for the month of <?= $s_period; ?> </p>
