using php to create pdfs

[drooh]

I am just now begging to learn how to create pdf files using php. so far i have been able to configure php to load the pdflib extension and create pdfs in the browser. but what i want to do is to be able to create these pdfs on the server, as actual files that i can go to later or download or link to, not just see in the browser only. how do i do this?

You might find a class that will help you do this. Take a look at phpclasses.org [google.com]

found fpdf to be quite the delight! forget pdflib, too much nonsense

You should try EzPDF. This is the best i know [sourceforge.net...]

Fpdf really is a great tool!
I have used that for some amazing dynamic pdf generations.
And don't forget to check out the scripts section of their site, there is some really neat stuff there (I made all my PDF's non copy-pasteable for a client with one of them :P )
