I am using mpdf to generate a report, and for this I'm calling another file .php that owns the information, through file_get_contents(); .
You are viewing the contents of this file, it just does not read php correctly, as an example of the code: <?php echo 'Olá'; ?> , everything just appears instead of just Hello.
Could anyone help me?
file_get_contents does not interpret PHP code. It just reads a file as a string and stores it in memory.
In order for the php code to be interpreted and you can see what was printed by echo you should use the include/require function.
include will immediately execute echo , which will be printed on the browser output, not on the PDF.
To solve this problem, you will probably have to capture the buffer and output, like this:
ob_start();
include 'php_que_quero_incluir.php';
$saida = ob_get_clean();
