Many thanks to everyone who helped me with my form. It's mostly working and it's printing to pdf.
My client wants to use lots of these forms, I personally think they are monotonous but there you go. Anyways, a more lengthy version linked below just isn't working, I don't know why, the page jsut does not display.
Cam anyone help before I tear all of my hair out?

does your site usually show parse errors in the browser?
you could try adding this to the very top of the script
error_reporting(E_ALL);
that may show the error. If we don't know the error then it is difficult to debug.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/html/test.php on line 118
you need to get your host to have those errors coming out. display_errors may be set to 'off' and would need to be changed to 'on'
or your error level is set too low, which my code in my first response would fix
you may want to look at this from the manual
[php.net...]
A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores.
Yes it was a variables issue, changed them all to words and of course, it worked. Thanks
Just one other query. The form works ok except, the form passes through the form output to fpdf all the text after an apostrophied word just disappears!
In IE, even the print button on output preview doesn't show up - it does in firefox.

Using addslashes [us2.php.net] may fix your problem ;)
Best of luck!

It's something to do with the last line with the variables and ' in the form boxes is effecting it. Can anyone help?
I separated out the code into an html form that posts to the php code above, I was told to use <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="save.jpg" VALUE="Save" ALT="Save now" NAME="Save"> but it makes no difference or HTTP sockets, but I don't understand those either.
I can't bare looking at this php anymore.
Thanks
there isn't anything wrong with the code above
you may need to escape quotes or strip them, not sure
can you identify in the file focus2pdf.php where there could be an issue?
