How to convert an HTML to PDF in PHP using FPDF Lib 1.6

Question

I have a web page (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) which I want to convert to PDF on server and mail the same to an email id as attachment.

The web page is dynamically loaded with information that comes from 4 different table from MySQL. So it is not a static HTML page.

The solution should work on almost servers whether they are linux or windows.

I would prefer to use FPDF 1.6 as it is free. But if there are any other more efficient, free alternatives then that is not a problem.
