mPDF - using relative and absolute image paths?












0















I am using mPDF to create a PDF and currently I face some issues with images in WordPress.



I have a script in wp-content/themes/mytheme/custom/ and images in wp-content/themes/mytheme/custom/images.



Now I do this:



$mpdf->setBasePath(get_stylesheet_directory().'/custom');



Then I can refer to an image with <img src="images/myimage.jpg"/> and that works. However now I pull variables dynamically from the DB and these values are absolute URLs like https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/myimage2.jpg



How can I use these images now in the script? Even when I do wp_make_link_relative I get this wp-content/uploads/2018/11/myimage2.jpg but this path does not help me because of the basePath being set to get_stylesheet_directory().'/custom.



Does anybody know how I can solve this?



Thanks!
