Hello all.
My brother would like to create a website that high school math
teachers could use. They would come to the web site and say "I'd like
to have a worksheet on two-variable algebra." Then the web site would
generate a pdf file for them. The information would be stored in a
database. MySql or something similar.
Is Php an appropriate vehicle for this? Has someone already done
something similar? Is there a "wiki" for Php?
My brother is a high school math teacher (naturally). I am a
professional programmer, but I have not done much with web pages, and
I have never used Php. Usually, I use Tcl and C.
Any ideas are appreciated. Here's how my brother expressed his
problem:
. . . I betcha there's a way to write an ASP script that would pull
question text from a question database into an MSWord file, instruct
Word to print the file to PDF, and then download it to the user. I bet
MS products are scriptable. Hmmmmm. . . .

check out php ref document, there is a section about
(pdf. http://cn2.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php)
or visit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php/ . . . .

Is there a "wiki" for Php?
http://www.php.net
http://www.php.net/<function name> to get details about the given
function. Also has many usernotes that are much helpful.
eg. php.net/strlen

Oops! You can directly & simply create PDF from PHP if you use
FPDF lib ( http://fpdf.org/ )
