Session in PHP is a mechanism for saving user data on the server side to maintain state between multiple requests. Specifically, 1) the session is started by the session_start() function, and data is stored and read through the $_SESSION super global array; 2) the session data is stored in the server's temporary files by default, but can be optimized through database or memory storage; 3) the session can be used to realize user login status tracking and shopping cart management functions; 4) Pay attention to the secure transmission and performance optimization of the session to ensure the security and efficiency of the application.

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages.

Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
