Do you mean something like this:
http://webbytedd.com/bb/pdf/
If so, Google "pdf php" and then look at the manual:
http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php
OR you can try different libraries, such as:
http://ros.co.nz/pdf/ <-- nice demo there

David:
Where do I start?
First, make sure your html is correct.
Second, you have to check your super globals to see if they have been defined
before attempting to get data from them.
Try reviewing the code here:
http://www.webbytedd.com/lcc/citw229/five.php
It will give you an idea of what you are doing wrong.

to which I would input an account number, 4 digit year, then 2 digit month.
Then click Submit.
What I see in the error log is:
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: acctnum
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billyear
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billmonth
where line numbers point othe the following php lines:
$who=$_POST["acctnum"];
$year_to_process=$_POST["billyear"]; ;
$month_to_process= $_POST["billmonth"];
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?
David
I think the error indicates that there is no acctnum,etc. set in your
POST array.. but your syntax looks O.K... so, assuming the php code is
in callrecs.php, I'm guessing you either have a redirect in there, or
are not hitting the callrecs.php with the form data.
I'd suggest to post your callrecs.php file.

Stupid question ..... where have you copied your script? Is it lying on
a webserver? Then I would guess that you are submitting the form on your
webserver which hits the PHP script on your Desktop PC which in tunr
invokes the PHP command line interpreter who has no idea what you mean
by $_POST.
Try changing the form action to simply "callrecs.php" and see if that works.

Q: would be referencing a filesystem path, rather a web address interpreted by
a PHP processor. Make sure your .php target is within a PHP supported web
space.

If a default application is set within windows for php, the script
submitting to Q will be executed.

But wouldn't Windows attempt to execute the PHP script as if it were a
CLI script, not as if it were within a web server context? That would
make posting a form pretty pointless.

This all depends on the browser used. IE will probably start it with
any program registered to PHP files (most likely an text editor).
Firefox and Chrome will probably show the PHP source code in the
browser.

Indeed. But isn't that the point? We are trying to figure out why his
posting the form does not work. I say, it can't work as long as long as
there is Q:\ ins his form action, no way it will do, because you leave
your webserver context anyways.
He must change it to a valid web url.

"it can't work as long as long as there is Q:\ ins his form action"
+1
David, which web server are you running (apache, iis, ...)?
What is your document_root?
And last question, where are your html file and your php file(the full file
path)?

It seems that PHP-GTK is completely dead. The latest version (2.0.1) was
released on May 2008, nobody answers on questions in the mailing list,
and the latest SVN commit is nearly one year ago.
Am I wrong or is it senseless to write still PHP-GTK programs?

I wouldn't call it completely dead as many sure still use it, especially since
the release of phar. I am as well curious though of the roadmap for it.

I would change the above the the following:
if ( empty($pmatch) || ( strpos($key, $pmatch) === 0 ) ) {
print "$key = $value<br />";
}
it would be slightly faster
love the "skin the cat" game!
What I like about this Jim is that the strpos() could be changed to
allow a "contains" argument rather than a "begins with" argument...
for example if you wanted to find all variable names containing 'foo'.
Something like:
if ( empty($pmatch) || (( strpos($tkey, $pmatch) === 0 ) || (
strpos($tkey, $pmatch) > 0 ))) {
print "$key = $value<br />";
}
t_foo
foo_t
t_foo_t
would all be found.
Thanks!
