I want to develop an application that uses a background database but delivers the displayed data in a web browser. OK, no big deal so far.
The problem is that I also want to be able to deliver printable material which will need a degree of formatting to suit a preprinted form. This printable material could comprise any number of formatted output sheets to be printed as overlays on the preprinted forms. Given that I want to use a web browser as the main user interface, what would be the best language in which to write the app? I'm guessing PHP rather than Perl; I see that that has a set of PDF functions that might give me what I want. Are there any good pointers out there? -- Howard.
