How can variables be properly passed from a form to a TCPDF file in PHP?

To properly pass variables from a form to a TCPDF file in PHP, you can use the POST method to send the form data to the TCPDF file. In the TCPDF file, you can retrieve the form data using the $_POST superglobal array and use the variables as needed to generate the PDF. 

// Form submission code
<form action="generate_pdf.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="variable1">
    <input type="text" name="variable2">
    <button type="submit">Generate PDF</button>
</form>

// generate_pdf.php
require('tcpdf.php');

$variable1 = $_POST['variable1'];
$variable2 = $_POST['variable2'];

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Variable 1: ' . $variable1, 0, 1);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Variable 2: ' . $variable2, 0, 1);
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'D');
