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

    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 Code:
    <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.

    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.
