I used http://www.fpdf.org/ when i was creating PDF's it was a very easy solution to work with.

@JDM71488Nov 21.2007 — FPDF worked for me, too. Put fpdf.php and the font/ folder in the same directory as your PHP file creating the PDF document. Then use this: http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/index.php

EZPDF was also one of my favorites: http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/

if you put a / infront of a directory you need to define all the directory's back from the root.

/home/users/youruser/httpdocs/fpdf.php

where as if your fpdf.php is in the same directory or a parent directory you will just be able to put 'fpdf.php' or 'includes/fpdf.php'

My terminography is incorrect but you should get the idea

@tanzilaiictauthorNov 22.2007 — Thanks to both of you guys.but i think i can not make you understand my problems.or may be i am not understanding your sugetions.

suppose i go fpdf.org and have some code like this

<?php

require('fpdf.php');

$pdf=new FPDF();

$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);

$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');

$pdf->Output();

?>

now i will store this code in my localhost/htdocs/mine/test.php

file.and when i try to run it from a browser(like:http://locahost/mine/test.php) then it says that it need fpdf.php file.and here is my problem that where i can find this fpdf.php file.

may be it is too easy to understand the code but plz forgive me for my ill-letaracy.and plz explain the code with the require file and it's code.

And Again thanks to both of u guys for both of your valuable concern.

@hastxNov 22.2007 — The way your require statement is written, you need to have the "fpdf.php" file in the same directory as your "test.php" file.

If fpdf.php is not in your "mine" folder, the script can't find it.

@felgallNov 22.2007 — Either you haven't downloaded and installed the fpdf.php file or you installed it in the wrong place.
