Editable PDF, modified & emailed...with CI?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,

I was curious if anyone had any insight into using CI or PHP with editable PDFs. A client has an online application they would like users to fill out on their site, which then sends an email to the company with a PDF attached. The PDF would be a document that looks similar to their offline application, but filled in with the user-inputted data.

The user experience would be to fill out a PDF or an HTML form and submit their info via the site.

The company would receive an email with a completed PDF.

Thanks!

The user experience should be them filling out an HTML form, not a PDF, but to then take the submitted FORM's content and save it to a structured PDF emailing it to the whomever. There are a ton of PHP PDF classes... and a quick google search brought me to this:

I think something like this should do the trick, if you used the dompdf helper:

Code:

public function index()
    {
        if ($this->input->post())
        {
            $postdata['name'] = $this->input->post('name'); //let's say the data we want to get from the form is a name
            $html = $this->load->view('someview', $postdata, true); //pass view as a variable
            $pdfoutput = pdf_create($html, '', false);
            $tempname = 'yourtempname.pdf'; //the name is best kept dynamic (insert usernam, unixdate and such), so two simultaneus users don't overwrite each others' files'
            write_file($tempname, $pdfoutput);
            $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
            $this->email->to('[email protected]');

            $this->email->attach($tempname);
            $this->email->subject('Email Test');
            $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
            $this->email->send();
            unlink($tempname); //you can delete the file afterwards so they don't eat up your space'
        }
        else
        {
            $this->load->view('theform');
        }
    }

Naturally you have to create the views 'theform' and 'someview'.
