    Generating PDF file and sending as email attachment

    We need to create a php page which generates dynamic content (a price
    quote) based on form entries, displays it on a web page, and
    simultaneously sends an email with the same content in a PDF file
    attachment. There are enough differences between the ideal web page and
    PDF layouts that I don't think the various HTML-2-PDF scripts are
    suitable. (Also there are a few pictures in the mix which complicates
    things). Our web server provider doesn't have and will not install
    PDFlib so I am looking at alternatives like EZPDF, which at first glance
    looks reasonable. Any comments or recommendations ?

          FPDF is what you are looking for. It works great.
