I successfully installed PEAR on my Windows Apache/XAMPP server. I am trying to install the PECL FPDF extension (for PDF Forms Data Format functions). At my command prompt window, I entered: "pecl list-all" and saw an entry named "pecl/fpdf" wihch is "PDF Form Data Format functions". So far so good. At my command prompt window, I unsuccessfully tried to install this extension using the following 3 commands. 1. pecl install pecl/fpdf Above resulted in "No release available for package 'pecl.php.net/fpdf' Install failed" 2. pecl install www.php.net/fpdf Above resulted in "Attempting to discover channel www.php.net ... invalid package name... install failed. 3. pecl install pecl.php.net/package/fpdf Above resulted in: "Attempting to discover channel pecl.php.net/package... downloading channel.xml... ... done: 3877bytes. unknown channel ... invalid package name .... install failed." Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong in my attempt to use the PECL command to install the fpdf extension?

Thank you thorpe. I'll have to do it the way you suggested. It would have been nice if I could have downloaded just the functions I needed rather than install the whole package. Best regards.

I went to the PECL repository of PHP extensions at http://pecl.php.net/. I clicked on "Browse All Packages" then "File Formats" then "fpdf" because I needed the "PDF Form Data Format functions." But when I clicked on "Download Latest", the link was dead. Please tell me an alternate site for getting the "PDF Form Data Format functions"

I am submitting Adobe PDF Form data on a website to my PHP file as FDF data. After submitting, I now have the FDF data $_POSTed to a string. But now I need to take that string of FDF data and assemble it into an FDF file so I can send it out to someone who needs this form data. How can I do that in my PHP code?

Thank you, wildteen88.

I have a PDF fillable form on the web and have successfully submitted the “FDF” form data to my PHP web page. That data is posted to a string variable. What I need to do is to put this FDF form data into an FDF file and email it as an attachment – perhaps with something like the PHP mail() function. Can anyone provide or refer me to the PHP script to do this? Thank you.
