I am currently trying to get tcpdf working on my website. I am using xampp as a localhost, but cannot seem to get the config files working correctly. I am almost certain my paths are pointing to the right directory in tcpdf_config.php but when I try and run a script on my email.php page, it is displaying the error shown below. I have tried playing around with pointing to the file/s in a number of ways, but to no avail.
When i navigate to the examples given in the TCPDF folder, they load and work fine, so not sure why i cannot get this page work. Any help much appreciated!
i have tcpdf installed in my xampp directory as follows:
C:/xampp/htdocs/projects/ibill_v3/tcpdf
