Generate PDF with PHP

[lightnb]

I tried searching the site for this, but the site-wide search automatically omits the term "pdf". This of course is problematic as "pdf" is the operative word in the query...

Anyway, as you may have guessed, I'm trying to generate PDF files with PHP. I found some resources online that use an extension called "PDFLib", but my web host won't install it unless I have a "dedicated server" or "virtual environment". He also claimed that it requires a license?

Are there any alternative methods of doing this, that will work on a shared hosting account?

Thanks,

Nick

I have not used it, so cannot comment on its quality, but you might want to take a look at FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org/).

use this you don't need to install anything on the server (works with php4+). Use it for a management system i built over the summer for a company.
