Overview

Panda PHP is a PHP extension that allows PDF creation through PHP via Michael Still's excellent Panda library. Panda is available under the terms of either the LGPL or GPL. Panda PHP is licensed under the PHP license.

Eventual plans for Panda PHP (beside the wrapper for Panda) include C compatibility layers for clibpdf and pdflib, and possibly a PHP compatibility layer for FPDF. If there is a demand, I'd also be interested in an OO wrapper in either PHP (PEAR???) or C (integrated into extension).

Blatant self-promotion: my company, The Coeus Group, does programming of all kinds. If you need help w/ a project...

Download

Panda is not currently available for download. As soon as the next version of Panda is released, I'll tweak the extension and post it.

Documentation

Installation:

1. extract in /path/to/php/source/ext
2. ./buildconf
3. ./configure --with-panda[=DIR]
4. make
5. make test
6. make install

Documentation is being done in a wiki. Also, the Panda documentation should be extremely helpful, particularly while the wiki is in the early stages of development.

If anyone is interested in porting the documentation to docbook, that'd be just grand... Please e-mail me.
