Hi all,
I would like to know how I can check if a server supports the creation of PDF's using PHP.
Also sommer while we are at it, if it supports the creation of Excel documents using PHP.
Thanks in advance.

login to the server... and from the servers terminal/command line type php -i press enter.
it should list in that mess that comes up if you have it installed or not.
of course if it tells you it doesn't know what php is then php is not installed.

Php 5.0 is installed, that I know.
Thing is I can't get into the servers terminal as it's a shared hosting solution.

Seems like PDF is enabled by default in PHP 5. So too is XLS.
Lots of googling. Thanks!
