It works quite well and that part of the PHP has not changed. Now I want to send those PDF files to my email account.</p> <p>The emailing is actually working with this coding and attaching a PDF. The issue is that it is simply a blank PDF at rough 100 bytes in size. Which of course is not a valid PDF nor does it have anything to do with the responses from the form.</p> <p>I am really not familiar with the attaching of files to an email in PHP and any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Since it seems like several people are looking at this still I will post my current solution. It involves downloading PHPMailer as suggested below. I have started at the output line for TCPDF.</p> <pre><code>$attachment = $makepdf-&gt;Output('filename.pdf', 'S'); SENDmail($attachment); function SENDmail($pdf) { require_once('phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php'); $mailer = new PHPMailer(); $mailer-&gt;AddReplyTo('reply@to.ca', 'Reply To'); $mailer-&gt;SetFrom('sent@from.ca', 'Sent From'); $mailer-&gt;AddReplyTo('reply@to.ca', 'Reply To'); $mailer-&gt;AddAddress('send@to.ca', 'Send To'); $mailer-&gt;Subject = 'Message with PDF'; $mailer-&gt;AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer"; $mailer-&gt;MsgHTML('&lt;p&gt;Message contents&lt;/p&gt;')); if ($pdf) {$mailer-&gt;AddStringAttachment($pdf, 'filename.pdf');} $mailer-&gt;Send(); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
