generate a PDF document using PHP

[Space_Cowboy]

Hi there, ive been stumped on something for a couple of weeks now and its driving me insane!

Basically throught PHP (connecting to a MySQL database) my pages will generate tables of data based upon specified dates.

Anyway, I then want the data thats displayed on the page to be made up into a PDF document (upon user request).

Ive been on various tutorial websites, ive looked at the suggestions on PHP Manual- but nothing is working. Ive not even come close to getting it to work.

Has anyone done this before and got code to share that may be of help?

You could also try this. You'll need to sign up to get it but this site is great and has more pdf classes. I don't think this one works with Tables but I don't know. There may be others that do.

I have had great results with TCPDF.

Or create a new file, then execute (shell command) pdflatex on that file. This does of course assume you have access to that or can install it on your server.
