• creating certificates online, you know like you got for swimming 500 yards

• making these services pay for

I will also need something like cafepress, is this still the best on the market? For those of you who have never heard of Cafeexpress they create online t-shirt shops.

How about PDF's?
I used FPDF very successfully about 2 years ago to produce invoices, it probably has even more features now.

FPDF is a PHP class which allows to generate PDF files with pure PHP, that is to say without using the PDFlib library. F from FPDF stands for Free: you may use it for any kind of usage and modify it to suit your needs.

FPDF has other advantages: high level functions. Here is a list of its main features:

* Choice of measure unit, page format and margins
* Page header and footer management
* Automatic page break
* Automatic line break and text justification
* Image support (JPEG and PNG)
* Colors
* Links
* TrueType, Type1 and encoding support
* Page compression

FPDF requires no extension (except zlib to activate compression) and works with PHP4 and PHP5.
