after doing a little searching i found that one can create a pdf file as an output from a php script<br>
<br>

</a><br>
<br>
this link has a little expaination<br>
<br>
and on this site there is a pdf invoice example<br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font color="#008000"><span dir="ltr"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.lerdorf.com/tips.pdf">www.lerdorf.com/tips.pdf</a></span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">i would think if you can output to pdf, you should be able to format the pdf to print just as you want<br>
<br>
this is my quick two cents, i have been trying to write more php, and
because of your question, i now want to work on getting this pdf file
output on my newest site, i want to try to list a member roster as on
pdf file, pulling the list from the db<br>

Hey guys,<br><br>We are using a very old windows based database program I wrote in Foxpro<br>2.5 - and updated in Visual foxpro 6.0 in 2001 or so.<br><br>I am thinking of a complete revamp and am also thinking about a<br>
Client/Server type setup.<br><br>My thoughts are SQL with a web browser front end. I haven't done anything<br>like this before but thought it might be a good/fun project.<br>This software is a database of job quotes and will have to print out a
<br>single page quote perfectly formatted - as well as display it on the screen.<br>The software will allow the user to enter/add/print/view/delete and search<br>for documents. My current version has about 6 databases.<br>
<br>Questions:<br><br>What would be a good language to write this in? Perl?<br><br><br>Is a "perfectly formatted document" printout doable from a web browser?<br><br><br>Thanks in advance!<br><br>-Chris<br><br><br>
