PHP html to PDF then attach to email

Does anyone know or have any suggestions on how i can have my order confirmation email be attached to a email via a PDF file that gets auto generated upon order success?

1. order success.
2. generate pdf
3. attach to confirmation email to be sent out.

If you have any good place to start would love your suggestions!

thanks

Dave,

The following is a guideline only. I personally haven't created this very thing, but will probably do so in the next few days to verify that it is possible.

1. Obviously you'll need to have a functional eCart transaction.
2. I personally use a product called ezPDF to create PDF files using MySQL queries.

readme.pdf

3. Once you have the output for the PDF creating the way you want it to, you can then include the PDF as an attachment that Universal Email sends out with the confirmation.

I hope that helps.

Tom
