PHP Page to PDF on the server

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 26.2009

Hi:

I have a PHP page which is the result of a web form being submitted. I want the resulting PHP page to be converted to PDF and emailed to the available email user address, but I want this to happen on the server.

Right now, I can see the PHP page ( HTML & PHP ) . What is the best process to follow to make this hapen automatically.
Any ideas and sample code apreciated.

Thanks

@hastxJun 26.2009 — How familiar are you with PHP? There are a few PDF Libraries I have used that are available on the net but will require an understanding of OOP to implement them ...I don't know of a real quick function you can use to create PDF.

emailing the pdf once it is created is easy... but here are a few PDF libs...

http://www.fpdf.org/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php

A search for PHP PDF generation will turn up several classes you can implement.
