TCPDF grey background for few cells?

Question

I'm using TCPDF in CakePHP and trying to make some background (grey) for few cells. Well here the idea:

so the grey thing would somehow have to be define outside of the cells containg text.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

Easiest way is to deliver your content as HTML with some simple formating included.

Check example 6 from TCPDF examples

Solution 2

try this.

$this -> TCPDF -> SetFillColor(249,249,249); // Grey
$this -> TCPDF -> Cell(95,$cellHigh,$data,'L',0,'L',$fill,'',0,false,'T','C');

The TCPDF example No. 5 will give you different background colors.
