Hi,
Is it possible to write a PDF in PHP without a thrid party app?
I have a member profile page and I want the member to be able to download their profile in PDF so I want to write the HTMLs directly from the database to a PDF using PHP.
Yes. take a look at http://html2pdf.fr/en/example
Not sure what you mean by "third party app." I think you could use either of these for free.
A quick google search yielded this: http://www.fpdf.org/
And also this: http://us1.php.net/manual/en/intro.pdf.php
there are a couple of PEAR packages: http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=pdf&in=packages&x=0&y=0
and this: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/
You can use a PHP library such as TCPDF, which is an open-source PHP library (no external and/or non-PHP libraries needed). I used it a few years ago to good effect, and hopefully it's even better now?
