read data from pdf and save them in mysql

Post by phpDVWeaver »

I do have a catalogue of more than 400 fields in the form of:
Name: xxxx
Address: XXXX
age: Xxx
and other data that I really don't need.
XXX here refers to the data that I need to save in mysql.

Any one knows how to script this process.

As far as I know, the only way to read information from a PDF file in PHP is to use PDFLib - there's a special edition that has read support.

It's certainly not a trivial undertaking.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
