PHP library for printing landscape

[chemlight]

I seem to remember from somewhere that there is a PHP library for converting a php page into an image, and rotating it for printing in landscape. I haven't been able to find anything on google, or bytes. A lot of chatter about the @page CSS properties (which don't work). Not what I need though...

A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

if you have a windows server, you can use the COM extension.

Thanks. I've got a Mac for development, and running ubuntu for our server.

The answer I found was php GD library, and was also able to find a great walkthrough for the install.

http://www.libgd.org/DOC_INSTALL_OSX

obviously applies only to OSX, but its helpful in case anyone in my situation runs across this. The only thing - before you follow the instructions make the following directories:

/usr/local/man
/usr/local/man/man1

or the libjpeg will fail with error 71.

I'm using the MacPorts installation (Apache/MySQL/PHP) this pretty much covers everything (despite being always up-to-date).

Macs are great

One more question relating to this topic. Are there any good starter tutorials for the php GD library? I've found some...php.net has the manual, but I'm looking for a starting point that gets me into it quickly, and then I can spend more time looking at all the details.
