Dinamically creating a member ID card as pdf using PHP?
- by aefxx
I need to code a PHP script that would let me generate a pdf file which displays a member ID card (something like a credit card used to identify oneself) at a certain resolution.
Let me explain:
I do have the basic blueprint of the card in png file format. The script needs to drop in a member's name and birth day along with a serial. So far, no problem - there are plenty of good working PHP librarys out there.
My problem is to ensure that the resulting pdf (the generated image of the card, to be precise) meets a certain resolution (preferably 300dpi), so that printing it would look right.
Any ideas?
EDIT
I solved it using the TCPDF library which let's you scale images at a certain resolution.
