Print form values

simonoc

Is it possible to retain the Javascript button but add some php code to print just the values of the form and the input names

A bit like the email code I have

$sEmailFrom = "info@mywebsite.co.uk";
$sEmailTo = "$x_email_1";
$sEmailCc = "$x_email_2" ;
$sEmailBcc = "$x_email_3" ;
$sEmailSubject = "New instruction";
$message ="Engineer's name: $x_eng_name etc......";
//send email
Send_Email($sEmailFrom, $sEmailTo, $sEmailCc, $sEmailBcc, $sEmailSubject, $message);

Cheers

Don't know what you try to achieve. Be more specific.

If you ask whether you can print PhP variables using javascript the answer is simple and no. Javascript runs on the clients PC, PhP on the server. 'They don't know eachother'

OK! forget the javascript button, this was just for aesthetic to match the Send Form button next to it

By printing the form using window.print() it goes over 3 pages and some bits are chopped off and the menu bar is printed etc.

All I really need to print are the field names and $ values - like the content of the email setup
Engineer's name: $x_eng_name \n etc.....

I have seen some code for printer friendly set ups but down want to go to another webpage to print as it may distract the user to come back to the form and post it

Can I set some code up to print these values when the user clicks a button or link ?

Thanks

And again..

The $values live on the server, and are no t accesable directly by javascript. So no. You would have to open a page in which you acho $value; to subsequently print.
// unless I am completely wrong about your intentions, and you really need to be a bit more clear on what you mean../

You could either use a printing stylesheet, and hide what you dont want to print...

Or have a link for "Printable Version"

If you want the printable stylesheet... add something like this inside your css file.

These will only be used when printing, or using the print preview

@media print {
	#divtohide, #div2, #div3{
		display:none;
	}
}

just wrap the data u want to hide in certain divs...

Not the best thing... cuz then u have alot of extra divs, but you can work with it... maybe assign it to a css class .hidemeonprint{} or something, and add that to ur existing divs u want to hide.... or td's if ur using tables

Thanks for you advice guys

I like the idea of hidding the bits I don't want to print, its only the page heading and header file after

I will look into this further, I do have a css file, I guess it was explained very well but to an complete novice I didn't understand "certain divs..."

<div id="divtohide">
Header html u want to hide
</div>

divs =)
