I Need a suggestion to develop a pdf from the data entered in a php form, the pdf should be generated automatically after the user has submitted the form

I recommend you look into fpdf.

I work at Expected Behavior, and we've developed a product called DocRaptor that converts HTML to PDF using HTTP POST requests.

You can make a request against our server using PHP, and DocRaptor will generate your document.

Here's a link to our coding examples for how to make this call using PHP:

Fpdf is the best bet, but has some limits for design. Dompdf can convert html pages to pdfs, but is limited also

i have used fpdf and it works great according to requirement

Nicely done! I also use fpdf and I have found it to be very well documented. I most recently used it to adapt Chris' own Editable Invoice application to output a pdf of invoices I created (as well as using MySQL to keep a permanent log).

I'm glad it worked out for you.
