RE: [PHP] Re: PDF from PHP generated HTML, possible?

That's fine for static pages, my question was regarding dynamic pages that I did not wish to pass through the database querying again. I understand that if my dynamic page is http://server/app/page1.php?cust=12345&t=3 I can supply that URL which will result in HTML that can be processed by (for example) pdf-o-matic. However, as I've already run all the queries necessary I would like to not have to run them all again when requesting the PDF. Thanks Graham. -----Original Message----- From: Mikey [mailto:mikey@radius-design.co.uk] Sent: 23 September 2004 15:50 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: PDF from PHP generated HTML, possible? Hmmm, I cannot believe that there are people on this list who do not know how to use Google. I tried "convert HTML to pdf" and came up with loads of results - including http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/pdf-o-matic.php that seems to allow you to see their source code.
