What are the best practices for converting dynamic PHP pages to PDF and automatically deleting them after a certain time?

To convert dynamic PHP pages to PDF and automatically delete them after a certain time, you can use a combination of libraries like TCPDF or Dompdf to generate the PDF files and a cron job to schedule the deletion of the files after a specified time period. 

// Generate PDF from dynamic PHP page
// Use TCPDF library
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML('<h1>Hello World</h1>');
$pdf->Output('dynamic_page.pdf', 'F');

// Schedule deletion of PDF file after 24 hours using cron job
// Add this line to your crontab file
// 0 0 * * * find /path/to/pdf/files -name "*.pdf" -mmin +1440 -exec rm {} \;
