How can PHP variables containing data from a database be incorporated into a PDF template using DOMPDF?

To incorporate PHP variables containing data from a database into a PDF template using DOMPDF, you can fetch the data from the database, assign it to PHP variables, and then use DOMPDF to generate a PDF file with the data dynamically inserted into the template. You can achieve this by loading the HTML template, replacing placeholders with the PHP variables, and then rendering the PDF output. 

<?php
require_once 'dompdf/autoload.inc.php';

// Fetch data from the database
$data = fetchDataFromDatabase();

// Assign data to PHP variables
$name = $data['name'];
$email = $data['email'];

// Load the HTML template
$html = file_get_contents('template.html');

// Replace placeholders with PHP variables
$html = str_replace('{{name}}', $name, $html);
$html = str_replace('{{email}}', $email, $html);

// Generate PDF using DOMPDF
$dompdf = new Dompdf\Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream('output.pdf');
