The way I would do it is I would make the Save button (or link) point to
display.php?save... Now in the display.php I would have it figure out if
save is in the URL, if it is then it should output a pdf file instead of a
html file.
This does however mean that your query is done twice (once for seeing the
results with the save button at the bottom, and then again when you hit
save).... If you only want your query run once then you must save the pdf on
the first attempt and then set the link to something like
/someUniqueNumber/file.pdf
Does that make sense?
If you need more guidance just email me.
