PDF generation through PHP

atulshin · February 11th, 2009, 01:30 AM

Hi all,

I am using "XSL Formatter V4.1" and "XSLT 2.0 processor". I am generating PDF using XML and XSL through this configration by running a command through CLI. I want the same PDF output using PHP.
In the PHP interface I m getting XML output but unable to convert it in to PDF.

Does anybody has the knowledge about PDF generation through PHP with defined XSL.

Thanks in advance,

I no next to nothing about PHP but surely "XSL Formatter V4.1" has a COM interface so that it can be called from code? You need to check the manufacturer's documentation.

If your stylesheet requires XSLT 2.0 then running it directly under PHP might prove difficult. If you want to use Saxon then you will have to call out to a .NET or Java environment. The other XSLT 2.0 processors currently available are Gestalt and Altova, both of which I believe run as COM objects.
