Google for "PHP PostgreSQL shopping cart" and find a few hundred off-the-shelf packages you could use instead of re-inventing the wheel. Some have HORRIBLE security histories, so do your research. > Concretly, user will buy some products/services online and i would > like to > send him a PDF invoice via email. > > is there a PDF module under PEAR or directly under PHP ? In addition to the other options given so far: http://php.net/pdf is an option, and it's not that tough to build up the PDF the way you want. Some more sample code: http://uncommonground.com/events.phps I find that thinking in "inches" and using *72 a lot works well for me. E.g., $page_top = 10.0 * 72; //10 inches PDFs are always 72 dpi. Flame wars about the meaninglessness of dpi can please be sent to your own /dev/null. Thanks. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
