[PHP] Can PHP do what this javascript does...
iTo print/i: a href=javascript:if (window.print != null) {
window.print(); }
else { alert('Unfortunately, your browser does not support this shortcut.
Please select Print from the File menu.'); }
bClick here/b/a ior/i Select bFile/b
and then bPrint/b from your browser's menu.
Is there an equivelant bit of code to do this printer shortcut with php?

PHP - _server_ side
Javascript - _client_ side
PHP cannot affect your client like Javascript can.

Unfortunately, since PHP lives on the server and JavaScript lives on the
browser, there really is no way to get PHP to do what you want.
Stick with JavaScript. There's really no reason not to when you're doing
client-side programming.

Re: [PHP] Can PHP do what this javascript does...
Javascript can be embedded in PHP files anyway. I do a lot of database
management interfaces in PHP and one thing I want to do is protect items
from being accidentally deleted. I use Javascript to verify that they
intended to click on the link to delete the information.
Remember, PHP files are enhanced HTML files, which means the browser will
parse them exactly the same as a standard HTML file.

Re: [PHP] Can PHP do what this javascript does...
There's a really long method of doing it that would work, but would
involve server-side browser detection, and a database containing a list
of browsers that support print shortcuts.
Stick with the JS.

Re: [PHP] Can PHP do what this javascript does...
Thanks for all the reponses. I know that php is server-side only, and that
certain things
like mouse-overs, are client-side, wasn't sure about the printer function
though. I could
have assumed it was, but I try not to assume anything, but always ask to
make sure.
Regards,
Chip
