Re: Fwd: GD library for creating tables

Hey Tim, Thanks for the reply. I'm actually looking for something to do that exactly, but output it as an image (via GD, imageMagick, etc). I should've been clearer; I mentioned it in the subject but not the actual e-mail. There's actually a PEAR library that does that for HTML, HTML_Table: http://pear.php.net/package/html_table/redirected. I'm looking for something very similar, which will allow me to output as an image.
