fdf_open

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.6, PHP 4, PHP 5)

Opens a file with form data.

You can also use fdf_open_string() to process the
results of a PDF form POST request.

Path to the FDF file. This file must contain the data as returned from
a PDF form or created using fdf_create() and
fdf_save().

Returns a FDF document handle, or FALSE on error.

Example 1. Accessing the form data

// Save the FDF data into a temp file
$fdffp = fopen("test.fdf", "w");
fwrite($fdffp, $HTTP_FDF_DATA, strlen($HTTP_FDF_DATA));
fclose($fdffp);
 
// Open temp file and evaluate data
$fdf = fdf_open("test.fdf");
/* ... */
fdf_close($fdf);
