    <p>wkhtmltopdf hits the page independently of your current browsing session. If you hit it like that, you're going to get what anyone would see when they first go to your page. Probably what you want to do is save the current page using an output buffer, and then run wkhtmltopdf on the saved page. Here's some sample code:</p> <p>sub.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $documentTemplate = file_get_contents ("template.html"); foreach ($_POST as $key =&gt; $postVar) { $documentTemplate = preg_replace ("/name=\"$key\"/", "value=\"$postVar\"", $documentTemplate); } file_put_contents ("out.html", $documentTemplate); shell_exec ("wkhtmltopdf out.html test.pdf"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>template.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1&gt;This is a page&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;form action="sub.php" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"&gt; My Test Field: &lt;input type="text" name="test_field" value=""&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value = "submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Probably in the long run you should have some kind of base template that both pages would use, and one have some markers like value='%valueOfThisVariable%' in your input fields that you can replace with blanks when you present the fields to the user, and fill with the user data when you create the page that you want to write to pdf. Right now it's just going through and replacing all the name='this_name' with value='this_name->value'.</p>

    1. COThanks for the reply. Please do. I don't really understand how using an output buffer helps me capture the text a user may have entered into an input field.

    2. COAgh, I missed that part the first time. Php knows nothing about the input values of the fields until they're submitted. What's the actual application of the code? You might be able to pull off something where you submit the page back to php once the values are realized and then output buffer the page.

    3. COYes, thats fine, they are going to get submitted so PHP will 'know' of the values. The application of the code is generally to give users the capability to print invoice information to PDF.

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.
