If you need to get the configurable product from a simple one, you can do this
$simpleProductId = 666;
$parentIds = Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product_type_configurable')
->getParentIdsByChild($simpleProductId);
$configurableProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($parentIds[0]);
echo $configurableProduct->getId();
Here my code to generate a PDF file into Magento using the zend_pdf embeded library.
//in my controller
public function prindPdfAction()
{
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$page = new Zend_Pdf_Page(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA);
$page->setFont($font, 12);
//add a logo
$image = Mage::getBaseDir('media').'/logo_pdf.jpg';
if (is_file($image)) {
$image = Zend_Pdf_Image::imageWithPath($image);
$x = 20;
$y = 700;
$page->drawImage($image, $x, $y, $x + 118, $y + 112);
}
//add text
$page->setFont($font, 16);
$titre = "Ecole ";
$page->drawText($titre, 155, $page->getHeight()-85, "UTF-8");
//add pages to main document
$pdf->pages[] = $page;
//generate pdf
$content = $pdf->render();
$fileName = 'details.pdf';
//send it to the browser to download
$this->_prepareDownloadResponse($fileName, $content);
}

You are working on Magento backoffice and make a link to a new page but when you click on your anchor, you are redirected to the dashboard ?
Here how to make a proper link :
echo "<a href='".Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl('*/*/displaydetail', array('id' => $cour['id']))."' >".$cour['name']."</a>";
Something like
Mage::getUrl('*/*/displaydetail/id/'.$cour['id'])
doesn’t work, even if I had the FormKey. But you can use it for ajax request
jQuery.ajax({
url: "<?php echo Mage::getUrl('*/*/classroomfromplaceAjax') ?>",
type: "POST",
dataType: 'json',
data: 'place_id=' + place_id + '&index=' + index + '&form_key=' + window.FORM_KEY,
success: function (data) {
jQuery('#classroom_' + index).html(data.html);
},
});
