I have a query. I would like to know how does one dynamically insert data to the pdf using php. I dont want it to be retrived from the database. But the user can just write something on that text field on the pdf.
Would like to get help guys thanks
You can use http://www.fpdf.org/:
from the examples:
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>
So taking directly from a form can be:
<html><head></head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="#">
<input type="text" name="content"><input type="submit" name="post">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
if(isset($_POST['content'])){
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,$_POST['content']);
$pdf->Output();
}
?>
If you already have an existent PDF
You can import it using this extension:
