Dynmaic PHP Website to PDF

Hi pdfcrowd-team,

I have a problem using your free pdf conversion service.
I created a php-website, which content is loaded from a database depending on an entered primary key before. In case a primary key was entered which doesn't exist in the database a simple echo 'Key doesn't exist' is printed. If I enter a valid primar-key, the website is loaded with the correct content; nevertheless, when clicking the "convert-to-pdf-link" (http://pdfcrowd.com/url_to_pdf/?width=297mm&height=420mm) the pdf which returns only contains the mentioned error-message "Key doesn't exist".
I'm not sure, whether in general it's possible to convert such a php-website. So is there any chance to manage this or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Munich!

Please, post a link to your web site and we will look into it.

I'm sorry, this is not possible because the data used is confident.
The website, which should be converted, gets the mentioned primary key as a $_POST[] variable from another website. I think the problem occurs because this variable is not available when the convert-to-pdf link is clicked. Due to this fact, when your conversion-service accesses the website, the necessary primary key misses and the error message is printed. Could this be the problem?

Our service always sends a GET request so the $_POST[] variable will be always empty.

A solution for your scenario could be:
- POST to your sever
- Generate HTML based on received POST variables
- Use our API and the convertHTML() method to print it to PDF.

Thanks for your solution. I managed it in another way as I just "send" the variable via a $_GET-Message to the page. This works without any problems.

If I understand correctly you would like to convert multiple html documents into a single pdf. Our service does not support this directly, but you have these two options:

1/ You can assemble a single html document from multiple html documents and then print it to pdf.
2/ Convert each html document to pdf and then merge the pdfs on your end (e.g. using pdftk)
