I realize there's many tools available to convert HTML pages to PDF using PHP. What I need to do is to convert data from an SQL database to PDF. I use PHP to connect to the database and print the results to the screen, no problem there. What I need is a way to print this same data from the SQL query to a PDF file.
Anyone have any tips or anything - with examples - to get this done? I'd appreciate any serious help or tips. Thanks very much.

I once did this using Latex, and then a latex to PDF converter.

I don't convert HTML pages at all. I generate pages using the PDFlite
library which is limited but free.
That enables me to setup a page, place text and images on it and output
PDFS.

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

You might want to review the FPDF.org site and look at how their model
works. I've used it for several projects and once set up and working
producing similar reports was a real breeze.
Worth a look and good luck.

FYI development of FPDF stalled long time ago while TCPDF is still
actively developed. FPDF is not a good choice for long term projects and
had many unfixed problems
