I used curl to save image generated from php. Save into the server and retrieve the image and insert into a pdf file generated by php.

Thx

I am assuming that u r done with image creation on the fly...
tell me if u need to know how to create image too..
to embed that image into a pdf file use this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf, "filename.pdf");
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);  //sets pdf size 595*842 is A4
$png_image = pdf_open_png($pdf, "image.png");  //image that u want to embed. u can also use pdf_open_image instead
pdf_place_image($pdf, $png_image, 200, 300, 1.0);  //parameters: pdf file, image file, x pos, y pos, scale
pdf_close_image($pdf, $png_image);
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
<?php
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf, "filename.pdf");
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);  //sets pdf size 595*842 is A4
$png_image = pdf_open_png($pdf, "image.png");  //image that u want to embed. u can also use pdf_open_image instead
pdf_place_image($pdf, $png_image, 200, 300, 1.0);  //parameters: pdf file, image file, x pos, y pos, scale
pdf_close_image($pdf, $png_image);
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);

hope this helps.. cheers !!
