I know there was discussion and a patch submitted for allowing version
specific php.ini files for PHP5. I don't know if that's what got you,
but I'd check the bug list and if you don't find a match, perhaps submit
a bug report.
Cheers,
Rob.

I believe the id or name of the html elements must match the name of
each field in the pdf. On monday, at work, i'll go over my code to see
for sure. But i'm sure the name of each html element matches the field
in the html form. The names of the fields in the pdf can be anything
you like, i used this format {$fieldname} but can be anything.

I know how to create a pdf document from a html form, see:
http://xn--ovg.com/pdf
The only part I don't have here is how to set-up a pdf with the
correctly stated fields -- what form do the fields take [name],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], ???
For example, the link you gave me provides a pdf with awaiting
fields, a html form that contains those fields, and php code to
insert those fields into the pdf, but not a description of what those
fields must be inside the pdf document for the code to find and
replace them.
Please send your example, that may help.
Thanks very much for your help.

Hello,
Anyone successfully implemented an online real-time credit reporting
scenario for consumer lending? We need to pull credit in the united states
for consumers before lending them money for school and I would like to use
PHP to connect to a credit vendor. I have been surprised at how little I
can find on google and all the major vendors (equifax, trans union,
experian) only talk in generalities on their website and seem to be geared
only for desktop software solutions.
I need to pull a score and based on that, provide a decision and offer. Has
anyone got this working, and would you recommend a vendor?
Thanks
Dan

That said, if you feel that it saves you a lot of development time (like
me) to use such functions, and you're writing a basic app that will not
likely attract lots of hits, then go for it.
I use a viewForm() function, that takes an array as a argument describing
the required form, for all of my projects. Surely it's faster for the
server if you just write the HTML, but this is much easier for me to
create, edit and re-use in other projects...
Just my 2 cts.
