I m not sure if this is right question to ask.
I am trying to get php to make PDF file and email it to some one when they enter enough information. is it even possible as i have no idea how would you do this...

Yes. You'll either need to use a commercial product, such as activePDF Toolkit, or learn the PDF Format. It isn't too terribly hard, for simple PDF files.

or use this free toolkit. Quite simple once you get your head around some basic examples...

Thanks
I will look into both the methods.

You can use html to pdf converter see the link http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php
First read your php file and then write that to an html file then convert this html to pdf file using above specified link program.

You can also search more free tutorials and toolkit on scripts sides like hostscripts.com, needscripts.com, searchscripts.com

Hey, I'm new to all this but had a question along these lines. I have an html form online that once the user submits the form, it gets emailed directly to me as an html email. It's been working out ok, but could be better. Ideally, i'd like to have it sent as a pdf so I can just print out the attachment.

Do you know how i can go about doing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Joe
