MadTechie Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 PHP is a SERVER side script.. Javascript is a CLIENT side script... The printer is on the CLIENT side thus PHP can't do this.. infact javascript could probably only display the print dialog..

ToonMariner Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 you need the javascript window.print(); how ever users will know how to print a page out if the want so I doubt you really NEED it.
