Dompdf crashed after recent server update, only when the or tags have a space












0















Yesterday I made an update to our server (Maria DB 10.1 to 10.2) and Apache and PHP needed to recompile and install, I kept the same configuration as before, and everything worked fine except for the PDFs, they were crashing.



I looked into the libraries and mbstring was installed and DOM-php is also installed by default since PHP 5. Everything is just as it was before. After hours of debugging I realized that the <html> and <head> tags inside the HTML that was going to be rendered into the PDF were causing all this trouble. Without them the page will render without any problem.



Then I came across this post and found a more strange solution:



Remove <thead> and <tbody> tags and remove space between <html><head> , </head><body> and </body></html>



"Automagically" This worked, but what is going on? I know that I know how to solve this issue, but I want to know why this is happening and why it happened after a Maria DB upgrade or Apache PHP Build?
