In this tutorial you will learn how to create Cell in PDF in a PHP web application. Cell  refers to a rectangular area on the page that you can create and control. The cell can have a height, width, border, and, of course, text. The code of  'pdf-cell.php' given below :

<?php
require('fpdf16/fpdf.php');

$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Times','I',16);
$pdf->cell(100,10,"This is a cell with width 100 and height 10");
$pdf->ln(20);
$pdf->cell(150,10,"This is a cell with width 150 and height 10",1,1); 
$pdf->cell(0,20,"This is a cell with width 100 percent and height 20",1);
$pdf->ln();
$pdf->cell(100,10,"This is a cell with background fill",1,1,'',true);
$pdf->SetFillColor(234,123,132);
$pdf->cell(30,10," Cell 1 ",1,0,'',true);
$pdf->cell(30,10," Cell 2 ",1,0,'',true);
$pdf->cell(30,10," Cell 3 ",1,0);

$pdf->Output();
?>
