I’m wondering if anyone has any examples of how to make a pdf with my mysql data.

I was trying to use FPDF or TCPDF…and i can’t find any examples that can work.

I want a table where:

- the row heights grow to suit the cell with the largest text
- the table header appears if a new page has to be created
- table is filled with data from my database but the query statement has variables in it like “SELECT \* FROM $tableName  
INNER JOIN category  
ON $tableName.cat\_id = category.cat\_id”

Trying all the examples i have found…reading all their scripts…nothing works for me!

Please help
