I want to be able to generate and save a PDF version of a PHP page. I found out, on Stackoverflow, that the most recommended is wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

However, I don’t have any Shell or binary knowledge; I only know HTML and PHP.

Could anyone CLEARLY guide me on how to get a php page generate a PDF document using wkhtmltopdf (using only FTP and PHP)?

What are the difficulties/issues to consider when allowing ZIP file uploads?

Question by Edward Tanguay

Edward TanguayEdward Tanguay

I allow PDF files to be uploaded to my site (PHP).

I would like to offer the ability to also allow .zip files which contain PDF files in directories so it is easier for users to simply zip a directory and upload one file instead of uploading multiple zip files individual.

For those of you who offer a .zip file upload feature to your (PHP) website, what are the technical, security, and other issues you have faced?

AFAIK, php can handle zip files pretty efficiently. Difficulties/Issues that I can think of is, while accessing the file where We need to extract the zip first, and then retrieve the actual needed file. Due to that reason, extracting a zip, might consume additional amount of server time, depending on the size of the file itself.

Where As, during uploads, I do not suppose there is any difficulties or issues specially emphasized on zip types.
