One print per page

[kamy99]

Hi all:

I hope to find some answers on this issue!

I've written a batch script (php/mysql), which outputs certain orders all at once. There could be any number of orders outputted per batch.
My problem is with printing them. The customer wants to view the batch output in one long page (which is happenig), but prefers to print one order at a time.
Since each order has a different length, if she prints the batch file at once, the output gets messed up.
I have created another option for her to view/print one order at a time, but this is what she wants.

Any suggestions?

tx in advance

My only suggestion is to get a reporting software like Crystal Reports or somthing. The issue is when printing from the browser.. is what you see is what you get... I have run into this before with page seperations, and trying to get the pages to seperate correctly.

Sorry dont have a better solution

Maybe i dont understand correctly but couldnt you put a Link next to each entry that holds that orders OrderID(Unique DB identifier) and when clicked it goes to a Print page that calls that orders data from the DB based on that unique ID and then dsiplays this data and prints out that data using some javascript.

example:

Print       1st Name  Last name   Address     Etc...
----------|------------|---------------|---------------|--------------|
Print       John         Doe              Blah Street
----------|------------|---------------|---------------|--------------|
Print       Jack          Butler          123 sdfsdff
----------|------------|---------------|---------------|--------------|

Then when the user clicks the print link it passes the OrderID or whatever to the next page that then pulls that orders data from the DB...

You may be already dong that and i just dont understand the question... But i use that alot and my clients seem to like it.
