Problem with PHP

Anon

I want to put button in a php page to print the page that is in the browser but I don't know how.
could you help me?
Thank you very much.

Anon

There is such a button in the browser, why make a new one?

Anyway, if it can be done, it must be in Javascript because
PHP runs on the server side, not the client.

Anon

OK. But I want to open from one PHP page another one and this last one was printed in the printer without the user touch the print button from the browser.
So I need to control the printer from the code and I don't know how.

Anon

That is not possible.

And that is a very very good thing.

Anon

Wel (Xará),

You may use one simple javascript code like it:

self.print();

But I don´t know if it is compatible with all browsers...

If you want that the new page is printed on load, then use it:

<body onload="Javascript:self.print();"> (I never test it, but you may test for me ;o))

This just brings up the print dialog box, like pressing the print button.
It does not actually print the page yet.

This as close as you are going to get. 🙂

Anon

I managed to solve it anyway.

I put the  in it's own html-file, banner.html, and then included that file into my index.php3 with <? virtual('/banner.html'); ?>

Works great! 🙂

Anon

Could you explain what is Xxxxxx? in the PHP print problem.
Thank you.

Anon

Hehehe, I´m not a Magic, print with out the dialog is impossible! (?) 😉

May be in the Explorer 6.0 a method to print with out the dialog box, trough javascript code. 😉

In this case "Xxxxx" was "ChallengeSKBanner" which fetched a banner from the providers banner rotation. I don't know perl, nor am I intendning to do so, but 'sub=""' looks like it's running some function, alias or something?
