I'm going insane. whenever I select Oct, Nov, Dec from the drop down it doesn't show the corresponding month appropriately.

I do this in the code and it shows 10, 11 or 12 corresponding to oct, nov, dec but then it shows no month if it's october, january if it's november or december. Help me please.
 
echo '<br /><br /> form month var dump: ';
      var_dump($form_month);



Code: [Select]

$time = time();
$actual_month = date('m', $time);
$actual_year = date('Y', $time);
$word_month = date('M', $time);
$word_year = date('Y', $time);

  if (isset($_POST['form_month']) && isset($_POST['form_year']) && !empty($_POST['form_month']) && !empty($_POST['form_year']) )
        {
$form_month = $_POST['form_month']; //multidimensional array but it should have only one value in it at a time I think
$form_year = $_POST['form_year'];

echo '<br /><br /> form month var dump: ';
var_dump($form_month);
//echo '<br /><br />'. $form_month['1'];

$insert_month = $form_month['0']; //maybe this will work
$insert_year = $form_year;
}else{
$insert_month = $actual_month;
$insert_year = $actual_year;
}

// I don't know how to convert the number 01 to Jan - so i'm doing this:
$wtf_word_month = "";

switch ($insert_month) {
    case 1:
        $wtf_word_month = "Jan";
        break;
    case 2:
        $wtf_word_month = "Feb";
        break;
    case 3:
        $wtf_word_month = "Mar";
        break;
    case 4:
        $wtf_word_month = "Apr";
        break;
    case 5:
        $wtf_word_month = "May";
        break;
    case 6:
        $wtf_word_month = "June";
        break;
    case 7:
        $wtf_word_month = "July";
        break;
    case 8:
        $wtf_word_month = "Aug";
        break;
    case 9:
        $wtf_word_month = "Sep";
        break;
    case 10:
        $wtf_word_month = "Oct";
        break;
    case 11:
        $wtf_word_month = "Nov";
        break;
    case 12:
        $wtf_word_month = "Dec";
        break;
}

Hi, I have a table of content in my page. For each row it has a check box. How do i achieve the function of when i click on submit button, those rows which are checked will be downloaded as a single pdf file. For example, for each checked row is a PDF file here. Suppose if i checked for 5 rows , 5 PDFs will be downloaded.
Can i know how can i achieve this? 
Or is it not possible to do that for TCPDF library?
If it is possible, i would appreciate if you guys could give me hints or some reading documentation to achieve this function. I have no idea how should i search for the solution for this function.  Thanks in advance

I haven't worked with TCPDF yet (PHP class for creating PDFs) but if anyone has, I'm just curious if you can reference an external CSS file to format the HTML that gets created in the PDF?

Or can you only use inline CSS?

Basically, I have a nicely formatted HTML table using a somewhat complicated external CSS file and I want to output that same table to a PDF and have it look essentially the same.

If TCPDF cannot do this, do you know of any other PDF PHP libraries that can?

Thanks,
Greg
