possien Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You can use this. If you only want to print certain elements you can use styling for printing. You can view everything but will only print certain things. Neither are part of PHP <form><input type="button" value=" Print this page " onclick="window.print();return false;" /></form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249583-printing-php/#findComment-1281478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
claro Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ok, I got It. What if I want to view first before printing, I'm talking about the print preview? thanks for your response ..

watsmyname Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ok, I got It. What if I want to view first before printing, I'm talking about the print preview? thanks for your response .. I dont think you can use javascript or a good way to call a browser's print preview feature. Instead you can pop up a new window to display your tables and use media type screen, print in the stylesheet you include in this window.
