Answer 1

Either build your HTML content to a string:

$html = '';
...
$html .= '<img src="' . $uploadfile . '" width="40%" height="40% "/>'
$html .= '<p>First Name<br>' . $fullName . '</p> 
<p>Email Address<br>' . $emailAddress . '</p>
<p>Phone Number<br>' . $phoneNumber . '</p>
<p>College<br>' . $theEducation . '</p>
<p>Course<br>' . $theCourse . '</p>';

Or use output buffering to capture the html.

Then, pass the HTML to mPDF:

$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
