Hi all,

I'm working on a project which will require a very fancily typesetted page to be dynamically generated and then served to the user. My friend suggested to do this, it would be best to typeset the page in LaTeX (presumably with PHP scripting) and then have the LaTeX rendered to PDF somehow.

How might I go about this? I've found various tools for creating PDFs directly from PHP, but none for either setting up things in LaTeX from PHP or exporting from LaTeX to PDF. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I believe there is a PEAR or PECL class that may meet your needs. You'll have to search their packages.
