sending php results to the printer

Hello there,

 

I have run into a problem. I have a search box, which searches through my database and gets results hopefully. But I need to be able to print the list. There is the problem. If I just print the page, it does not print the results. Here is the search.php with the php and the current print javascript.

-Search By Address or Postcode-<br>
<form name="search" method="post" action="search.php" id="searchform">
Query: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search"></form>
<br><br>
-Search By REFID-<br>
<form name="search2" method="post" action="search.php" id="searchform2">
Query: <input type="text" name="name2">
<input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Search"></form>
<br><br>
<?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
  if($_POST['name'] > NULL){ 
  $name=$_POST['name'];
  $sql="SELECT  * FROM propertyaddress WHERE `address 1` LIKE '%" . $name .  "%' OR `postcode` LIKE '%" . $name ."%'"; 
  //-run  the query against the mysql query function 
  $result=mysql_query($sql);
  //-create  while loop and loop through result set 
  ?>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> 
          if (window.print) { document.write('<form>' + '<br><input type=button name=print value="Print Results" ' + 'onClick="javascript:window.print()"></form>'); }</script>
          <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<?php
  while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
  
  echo "<ul>\n"; 
  echo '<a href="display.php?id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['address 1'].', '.$row['address 2'].' at '.$row['postcode'].'</a><br>';
  echo "</ul>"; 
  } 
  } 
  else{ 
  echo  "<p>Please enter a search query</p>"; 
  } 
  }

 

I'm at a lost. I'm not sure what to do, I don't think the code as anything to do with printing, but I put it there just in case. I thought about writing it to a temp html page in a popup, but I don't really no how to do that really well.

 

I appreciate any help or suggestions you give.
