We are developing PHP & MySQL based application. We distribute a registration form in PDF format. After filling form, user will upload PDF form to our application to register. We want to extract registration data in PDF form from PHP and save these data to database.
Can someone point me PHP classes for extracting field value from PDF form?
An alternative could be using an external program like http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ and so something like:
$ pdftk file.pdf dump_data_fields
and then process the output. However, this would involve a lot of parsing logic and output processing. Plus, if you cannot install binaries on your server, never mind. :)
It might be just simpler to do as hoppa mentioned.
Edit: This question might be a duplicate of The best pratice to parse PDF forms fields with PHP5 that question has an interesting comment!

I work on one project, I used html2pdf by spipu but unfortunately I encountered problems at the end, such as problems with pictures and also rendering. My question is what would you recommend if I want to convert the automatically generated html into a php file to pdf on my own domain and site. My idea is something like this that my given html generated code, which already shows me a browser as it would convert to pdf (using html5 ...). Also, and this is probably the biggest problem I need to get rid of before and after element. I was looking at different kinds but some require api key and registering and then converting this html somewhere else, and I would like to avoid it.
I've used tcpdf in the past it works great and it's open source.
Take a look at their website they have plenty of examples that might get you going.
Wanted to mention this answer as a comment since the question is vague but my SO reputation prevents me from that still..

Hi,
I've been trying to find a tutorial on how to upload/download an image to/from a mySQL database by using php and android.
I've made a database on 000WebHost, I've uploaded string data (name,username,password,email), but I want my app to have the ability to upload/download images.
Does anyone know a good tutorial (video/text maybe) on how this can be done?
Thanks.
Php allows you to create forms which support image upload functionality. This is generally done via a multi-part post message to a form that you create. Check that out here
You can try storing the image into a MySQL db as a base64 encoded string.
However, this is not a good idea from scalability perspective.
You can checkout this tutorial here which has an android sample as well.

You can start from reading php pdf functions:

Or use some external library available out there:

I am working on creating a website which will allow users to update a table using Javascript.
What I am looking for is a way to allow the user to export the table as an image (jpg, png etc.) or a PDF once it has been modified.
If there is a similar thread or topic please let me know, I don't really know where to start here. If you can recommend background reading that would be great too.
This is not something that can really be done client side (without installing software on the clients, of course). You will need to generate this PDF server-side.
How you do that depends on the language and platform you are using.
There are a couple open source PDF librarys you can use;
SharPDF, PDFClown, iTextSharp just to name a few...

I've 5 huge ugly forms written in HTML ... I wanna convert those forms to send emails using PHP automatically without going through each one and reading the post variables then constructing the mail code ... There was a tool online once but I cannot find it and I forgot its name ...
Any one can recommend something?
Tools like this save you time when you're working on a static website but require a contact form. Check this link, it has a couple of options: http://www.html-form-guide.com/form-mail/form-mail-script.html
The whole blog seems to be dedicated to web forms creation.
Best regards!
Regardless, you will have to point the action="" to some location. I suggest setting up a web service that accepts what you post to it. Then redirect all your old forms action="" option to that web service address.
