print page using web button

[blue928]

Hi, I am designing a page that I want to be able to be printed when the user clicks on the "print page" icon. I can achieve this using javascript I know, but I am having problems being able to track this using php and mysql. normall, to track clicks, I pass the page through a 'hidden' page and use header locator to redirect the page, but its not working to well with this particular scenario. any suggestions?

thx

PHP doesnt have the ability to do anything with the user machine... One way to do this is to load another page that sends the javascript.whatever.print() command... this way you can count whenever someone prints (by clicking your button)...

Use a javascript button thant changes to a specific image on click. You can use PHPs Image function to display an existing image.
Just don't preload the image.
You can track the calls to the php file that generates the image.
I think that should work.
