create pdf?

Post by lafflin »

I am creating an application which I would like to be able to print out reciepts, agreement forms, and query result information.
My plan was to create a pdf that will be sent to the client machine and printed via some type of javascript function. I am hosting at godaddy with a linux hosting plan. my questions are:

1- is pdf the best way to go about this?
2- is there any other way to do this than purchasing pdflib? Godaddy does not seem to have this lib installed from what I can tell. I looked at the phpinfo() they're running 5.1.4 . I checked for any mention of pdf and could find none, perhaps I am not checking for this extension correctly?

I am new to php, perhaps in a bit over my head. Any help given is much appreciated.
