This code show this error:

Fatal error: 
Call to undefined method FPDF::MemImage() in C:\wamp\www\Election Portal\generate_pdf.php on line 50

Answer 1

From the example given on the documentation, you need to require the mem_image add-on (the line you commented out at the top). As the add-on extends the FPDF class you need to instantiate the subclass, so change

$pdf = new fpdf();

to

$pdf=new MEM_IMAGE();
