Has anyone tried creating more than one table of content (TOC)?

[DRomeroLucas]

Hello everyone.

I'm in a project using this great library, I'm trying to create more than one TOC cause I need to represent the general index, the index of figures and an index of tables, for the first TOC I was using the , but when I want to create a new TOC using another this doesn't work, I mean, I put into the tag name for specify the TOC, but when I put this setting in the tags or even in just one of them the TOC content disappear, I was reading the documentation but don't specify the way to use the $name variable, I was assumming this can use like the others properties deleting the dolar sign ($).

So I want to know if someone already create a document with more than one TOC and if is possible that you can explain us how is possible create more than one of this.

I couldn't find any specific documentation about it, but I know this test produces a PDF with multiple TOCs:

mpdf/tests/Mpdf/TocNumbering.php

Lines 76 to 128 in d748f1e

	$markup = str_repeat('
	<h1><tocentry content="Heading 1" name="first" />Heading 1</h1>
	<h2><tocentry content="Heading 2" name="first" level="1" />Heading 2</h2>
	<h3><tocentry content="Heading 3" name="first" level="2" />Heading 3</h3>
	<h4><tocentry content="Heading 4" name="first" level="3" />Heading 4</h4>
	<pagebreak />
	<h1><tocentry content="Alternate 1" name="second" />Alternate 1</h1>
	<h2><tocentry content="Alternate 2" name="second" level="1" />Alternate 2</h2>
	<h3><tocentry content="Alternate 3" name="second" level="2" />Alternate 3</h3>
	<h4><tocentry content="Alternate 4" name="second" level="3" />Alternate 4</h4>
	<pagebreak />
	<h1><tocentry content="Final 1" name="third" />Final 1</h1>
	<h2><tocentry content="Final 2" name="third" level="1" />Final 2</h2>
	<h3><tocentry content="Final 3" name="third" level="2" />Final 3</h3>
	<h4><tocentry content="Final 4" name="third" level="3" />Final 4</h4>', 5);
	$this->mpdf->WriteHTML('
	<style>
	@page {
	footer: html_myFooter;
	}
	</style>
	<htmlpagefooter name="myFooter">
	Page {PAGENO} / {nbpg}
	</htmlpagefooter>
	<tocpagebreak links="on" name="first" />
	This is a page after the TOC
	<pagebreak />
	This is another page
	<pagebreak />
	<tocpagebreak links="on" name="second" />
	<h1>Test</h1>
	Another empty page
	<tocpagebreak links="on" name="third" />' . $markup);

That should help point you in the right direction.

Hi Jake.

Interesting, ok well, It seems the functionality that I expected doesn't exist, but ist's ok, maybe later I'll try to create a PHP function to create that tables, the piece of code that you share there is truly helpful, I really apreciate it, thank you so much Jake.

Hi, Sorry to hijack this thread but I too am having issues with multiple TOC in a document. There appears to be a few issues with multiple TOC in a document.

1. When adding a second TOC multiple warnings appear
   Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in D:\www\vhosts\vendor\mpdf\mpdf\src\Mpdf.php on line 16724 Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in D:\www\vhosts\vendor\mpdf\mpdf\src\Mpdf.php on line 16726

mpdf v 8.2.3

This is due to $b['c'] being a string instead of an array. hacking the function to check if is_array() generates the PDF with the 2 TOC BUT...
Question: Why does a TOC always need to have a page break? Is there a method to put 2 TOC on the same page?

Is this possible? (See image below) - 4 different TOC sections.

Thanks.
