Hi,
I use Linux, and I had installed PHP using yum install php. I am trying to use the pdf_new function to create pdfs from existing text files, but I get this error
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function pdf_new()
I have noticed that when I run the phpinfo() command, I cannot find the PDF phrase at all. My php.ini file does not even have these two lines
extension=php_pdf.dll
extension=php_cpdf.dll
Could anyone suggest me what kind of command I should use if I need to build PDFs using PHP on a Linux system?
Thanks in advance.
Alice

I like dompdf from www.digitaljunkies.ca Its a class that takes html and creates a pdf from it
I saw online at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/pdf.installation.php that I could build PDF from some extension. However, I use Linux, and I don't think this installation using dll extension supports it. I ran the code and still get this error.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

another option is FPDF from www.fpdf.org another class
the classes are nice since they don't generally require the module to be installed.
If you are on Linux, another option might be FOP... http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
I checked out the first link you provided, and downloaded it. I don't
think I need to edit anything else from the file according to the
webpage http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/install.php. I put the
entire extracted directory at my /var/www/html directory. Is there any
suggestion you could provide on how to "install" it? I don't see any commands that it provides in its manual.
Thanks for your help.
