I think you might be confusing the issue by calling it "e-commerce".
E-commerce implies monetary transactions, order verification, stock
indexing, credit card verification, SSL, etc.

If I understand correctly, all you have is a PHP based web application,
correct?  It isn't as detailed as above?  You, in a basic sense, input
information into a database, pull information out of a database, and display
data on the web browser?

Is it possible isntead of printing the information onto a pre printed form,
that you can recreate the whole form with PDFLIB and print out the complete
form?  PDFLIB is the only way I can think of that will allow you very fine
control of page layout for a printer.

Web browsers are very fickle on that sort fo stuff.

Also, I apologize for anything I misunderstood.
