[PHP] Re: Converting HTML to PDF via PHP
I am trying to export generated HTML (an invoice for a customer) to a saveable PDF that is downloaded. Any ideas? I've found a very easy unix command for generating PDF's: code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf [The PHP list wouldn't let me send this with http://; in front of the URL.] It will turn any web page into a PDF and was easy to install and use and has documentation. (I call it from a PHP script.) It renders the web page using a WebKit library that's included in the source, and there are lots of options for how to tweak the rendering engine.

[PHP] How to upload via SFTP with allow_url_open disabled?
I'm attempting to send a file over SFTP in PHP, but all the examples I find online do something like this: $stream = @fopen(ssh2.sftp://xx;, 'w'); @fwrite($stream, $data_to_send) This requires allow_url_fopen to be enabled on the server, to get a stream for the remote file. I maintain the server but would like to keep allow_url_fopen disabled. If I do that, how can I send a file over SFTP? Thanks for any help people can provide!!

[PHP] PHP session URL rewriting
I'm having trouble getting PHP's built-in session management to rewrite my a href= tags to include the session ID across pages when cookies are disabled. Unfortunately, PHP seems to only add the PHPSESSID to a link if the page ends in .php, not .html. I've preferred to hide my .php extensions and simply have Apache execute all files ending in .html (traffic isn't too heavy on this site). How can I force PHP to pass the session ID to all URLs, even ones that don't end in .php? Thanks for any help or references anyone can provide!

[PHP] How can database be exported to Microsoft Access?
I'm looking for a PHP library that would allow me to write in the native file format of Microsoft Access (.mdb). This would allow me to hand a copy of a MySQL database to my client. I'm hosted on unix, and I'm not familiar with ODBC, nor do I have access to MS Access running on a server. Does something like this exist? I haven't found anything helpful at HotScripts.com or php.net. Another possibility might be for me to use PHP's built-in support for .dbf files. However, my hosting company doesn't use the --enable-dbase flag on their PHP installation. Also, I've heard that string fields longer than 255 characters can't be exported into a dBase file. Besides ODBC, is my only option to write a quick tab-delimited export routine for my data? Thanks for any helpful advice!

[PHP] Browser upload timeout
I am using a PHP script which allows the user to upload files through a browser (the script opens an FTP session behind the scenes). The problem is, all browsers (on Mac and PC platforms) often time out after a random amount of time, between five minutes and a couple hours or sometimes not at all. They display a dialog box saying something like the connection was refused. Usually this means a file can't be uploaded if it's sufficiently large, say, 5-10 megs. The browser appears to be waiting for a response from the server during the upload, which of course doesn't come until the upload is complete. Has anyone found a way to work around this problem? I suspect that this problem will occur no matter what scripting language is used, because it's simply a function of the browser's handling of INPUT TYPE=FILE in a form. I've already tried setting PHP's max_execution_limit in the php.ini file, and I use ftp_set_option($connection, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 1);. Thanks for any help!
