How can PHP be used to convert HTML content into a PDF document for reporting purposes?

To convert HTML content into a PDF document for reporting purposes using PHP, you can use a library like TCPDF or mPDF. These libraries allow you to create PDF files from HTML content by providing functions to set up the PDF document, add HTML content, and output the PDF file. 

// Include the TCPDF library
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// Create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

// Set document information
$pdf->SetCreator('Your Name');
$pdf->SetAuthor('Your Name');
$pdf->SetTitle('HTML to PDF');
$pdf->SetSubject('Converting HTML to PDF');

// Add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

// Set HTML content
$html = '<h1>Hello, World!</h1><p>This is an example HTML content.</p>';

// Output HTML content to PDF
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');

// Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
