Not a function, no. But there are libraries that do this.

Edit: Oh dear, the profanity filter tries to kill the first domain ... remove the spaces.

Hi,
I've seen http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php
but code which is provided there, creates PDF file.
I want html page to be converted in PDF format.
E.G.

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtname" size=20 /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtemail" size=20 /></td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td><input type="Button" name="genbutton" value="Generate PDF" /></td>
</tr>


</table>
</body>
</html>

So, when I click on "Generate PDF " button this page should be converted in PDF format.

the original link that cornedbee posted, this one (http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/), does exactly what you want. i'm not sure why you overlooked it before.

Yeah I know, it is a full API with good documentation. Even if he used the php.net page, there is enough there to create his project.
