When it comes to working with different file formats, PHP is like a Swiss Army knife: it has a tool to handle almost anything you can throw at it. JPEG images, XML files, Word documents, ZIP archives…you name it, and there’s a PHP extension to handle it! This incredible versatility also applies to the topic of today’s article: the PDF, or Portable Document Format. Not content with just one, PHP actually comes with two different extensions that allow developers to dynamically generate PDF documents: the PDFlib extension, and the libHaru extension. Over the next few pages, I’m going to take a quick look at the Haru extension, providing you with a brief overview of its functions and demonstrating how you can use it in your PHP development. So come on it, and let’s get going!

When it comes to dealing with different file formats, it’s hard to faze PHP. XML documents, PDF files, JPEG images, MP3 media…you name it and, chances are, there’s a PHP extension to handle it. And so it is with compression formats like RAR, LZF and Bzip2 – although these archive formats are far less common today than the ubiquitous TAR and ZIP formats, they are still actively used by many applications and projects, and continue to be supported in PHP via PECL extensions.

Frameworks like the Zend Framework and CakePHP come with various built-in methods to help with this, and even if you’re not using one of these frameworks, there are a number of tools that can make coding these functions a breeze.
