PHP page to PDF with object oriented websites

Question

I'm trying to get my shopping cart items to a pdf to create an invoice

I have url which shows the invoice in html/css like this:

index.php?module=checkout&view=topdf

If I want to get the content of that page to use in mPDF or other pdf libraries using file_get_contents or cURL it doesn't give any content because the url is not an actual file on the server

How can I fix this? I work with templates and don't know how can I export the current php page to a html page

I used TCPDF for something similar. Getting the formatting right is a bit of a pain but once you've got that it's a really good bit of work.

Do you have an example that uses templates and not an actual topdf.php file?

Not to hand but I can try and have a look a bit later on for you. Are you using a shopping cart system?
