I need to write a PHP script that e-mails a PDF certificate (not
cryptography… just a congrats cert) to someone. The certificate
needs to have the person's name and address on it, so the PHP script
must modify the PDF. Any ideas on how to do this?

I use tcpdf (http://www.tcpdf.org).
To save yourself a lot of work; create an image of your certificate.
You can use this as a background for the PDF page.

require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
class myPDF extends TCPDF {
//---- set custom header and footer
public function Footer() {}
}
$pdf = new myPDF('L','mm','LETTER');
$pdf->SetAuthor("...");
$pdf->SetCreator("..");
$pdf->SetTitle("...");
$pdf->SetSubject("....");
$pdf->SetKeywords("...");
//--- set the margins to zero
$pdf->SetMargins(0,0,0,true);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(false, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
//--- use an image for the background
$pdf->Image("images/cert1.gif", 0, 0, 279.25, 215.5, 'gif');
//--- position and output custom text
$pdf->SetFont('Helvetica','B',24);
$pdf->SetXY( 35, 21 ); $pdf->Cell(130, 0, $sName, 0, 0, 'L');
....
....
//--- output the page
$pdf->Output("results/pdf/".$code.".pdf", "F");
