i have a <span> that has a lang='es' in it. there are only utf-8 characters within the span. if i remove the lang='es', mpdf works fine, but with it, it hangs a process that times out after my php time out (even on a small document and my timeout is 5 minutes). without the lang='es', it generates the file in seconds.
after the timeout, i get a message saying non-UTF-8 character(s) found.
not sure how the lang='es' got in there honestly... probably a cut and paste from windows or something... but in any case, it shouldn't cause mpdf to hang.
AND... on a system (joomla v1.5) with php setting ISO-8859-1, it works even with the tag.
iconv.output_encoding | ISO-8859-1 |
with my new joomla, this is set to UTF-8. it's possible that is the issue...
