Re: [PHP] Email This Story and Print Functions
the Print this Story really doesn't have anything to do with PHP, if you are referring to actually sending the page to a printer (see Javascript) if you are storing your articles in a DB, simply pull the info out and create a mailbody for the Email this Story function.

Email this story is a way of someone emailing the contents of a page, OR the URL of the page (more common) to a friend so all you need to do is know what page they're trying to email, collect the sender and recipient email address', and send a URL short message with mail(). Look in the $_SERVER array for some values which will tell you the current URL query string. Print this page can be as simple as an alternate style sheet, or a simplified way of presenting data on a page, which is printer-friendly. If you're pulling your main content out of databases or flat files, then it should be relatively easy to set a value in the URL ($_GET array) which toggles between a complex (regular) page layout, and a simple (print) layout. Think it through. Justin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but a hell of a lot easier: For print this story, you only need an alternate print stylesheet... Look at the CSS spec.
