Description: This program extracts names/addresses from an Informix database, creates an FDF output file which links to a PDF file, and displays the populated PDF file. The user then prints their address labels. Do what you want with this, except try to sell it back to me. :)
<?php
...
/*** Here's where we create our FDF data ***/
$fdfdata = "%FDF-1.2\n%\n";
$fdfdata .= "1 0 obj << /FDF ";
$fdfdata .= "<< /Fields [";
$i=1;
$name_array = ifx_fetch_row($seatingCR, "next");
while (is_array($name_array)) /* The PDF file has first ane last name fields */
{ /* fname1, fname2, etc., and lname1, lname2, etc. */
$fdfdata .= "<< /V ("; /* Set the value of the fdf field */
$str = chop($name_array["t_fname"]); /* Get rid of trailing spaces */
$fdfdata .= $str; /* Print the value */
$fdfdata .= ") /T (fname"; /* Print the field title */
$fdfdata .= "$i"; /* Finish the title name */
$fdfdata .= ") >> "; /* Done with that field */
$fdfdata .= "<< /V ("; /* Do same with next field */
$str = chop($name_array["t_lname"]);
$fdfdata .= $str;
$fdfdata .= ", ";
$fdfdata .= ") /T (lname";
$fdfdata .= "$i";
$fdfdata .= ") >> ";
$i++;
$name_array = ifx_fetch_row($seatingCR, "next");
} /* end while */
$fdfdata .= "]\n";
$fdfdata .= "/F (http://<address>/pdfs/$filename.pdf) >>";
$fdfdata .= ">>\nendobj\ntrailer\n<<\n/Root 1 0 R\n>>\n";
$fdfdata .= "%%EOF";
/*** Now we display the FDF data which causes Acrobat to start ***/
header ("Content-Type: application/vnd.fdf");
print ($fdfdata);
