I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function export() on null in...

My single page class starts like this:

class MyReport extends \koolreport\KoolReport
{
    use \koolreport\instant\SinglePage;
	use \koolreport\bootstrap4\Theme;
	use \koolreport\export\Export;

called thus:

php $report->end()->export()->pdf(array(
    "format"=>"A4",
    "orientation"=>"portrait"
))->toBrowser("myfile.pdf");

I notice there is no export.php in the export folder, rather Exportable.php.

How do I make it work? I have phantomjs dropped in a created bin folder under export.

With single page report, you can't use export() command on itself because the report output its content right when you include the report class. Instead, please use class \koolreport\instant\Exporter to export the single page one like this:

//SinglePageReport.php
...
<button type="submit" formaction="path/to/export.php">Export to PDF</button>


//export.php
    use \koolreport\instant\Exporter;
    Exporter::export("path/to/SinglePageReport.php")
    ->pdf(array(
        "format"=>"A4",
        "orientation"=>"portrait"
    ))
    ->toBrowser("SinglePageReport.pdf");

Hope it works for you. Let us know otherwise. Thanks!
