Hi All,

I was wondering if someone can help me with a code to preview part of
a php page
and eventually print it.
I don't want to print all of the page with images etc, just the data
within a certain area of the page.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Regards
Marco

sort of.

The first question to ask, is how are you printing it?

rendered HTML is notoriously crap at being printed, since fonts and so
on can not be guaranteed at the clients browser end.

I got round that by generating pdf files which are then downloaded and
printed, with fonts embedded, but its a whole new bunch of programming.

If you just want to do a quick and dirty preview, either write a PHP
page than can be selected to just show that, or possibly make a
javascript window that pops up and includes it..

But whatever you do its a separate piece of code...there are no short
cuts that I know of.

From a web page? Not possible. PHP runs on the server and has nothing
to do with page layout (that's HTML/CSS). Print preview runs on the
client and is dependent on client settings, of which PHP has no knowledge.

OTOH, if the web page in question is being served by the PHP code, all
you need to do is create a link, something like this:

<a href="/ServeThePrinterFriendlyPage.php?..." target="_blank"
onclick=" window.open(this.href,'win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar= no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no ');
return false;" rel="nofollow">Print This</a>

And then the ServeThePrinterFriendlyPage.php file would then serve the
page without the special effects that make sense on the screen (eg
images, flash, ads, etc.) but don't on the printer. The
target="_blank" attribute handles the case where JavaScript is not
available and the onclick attribute handles the case where JavaScript
is available. On the page served, you need to include a link like:

<a href="#" onclick="window.print();return false;">Print</a> and
optionally one like <a href="#" onclick="window.close();return
false;">Close</a>. The first is a button to print the page and the
second is a button to close the popup window.

what should there be in the ServeThePrinterFriendlyPage.php?
Is that the same as in the normal page but without images etc?

You really want to avoid such spaghetti code.

Or you could much more simply define a stylesheet for print media that does
the necessary adjustments:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css">

I found an example doing that but I still printed the whole page.

Make the items you do not want to display have a class="nodisplay"

In the print css sheet define .nodisplay {display:none;}

Which has nothing to do with PHP - this is javascript.

And still nothing to do with PHP.

Using javascript to serve a different page not only has nothing to do
with PHP, it doesn't answer the user's question.

Yes. Probably also without stuff like sidebars, menus, and extanious
navigation features -- just the basic printable content.

A much better idea IMHO is to make the items you do not want to *print* have a
class="noprint", and in the print css sheet define .noprint {display:none;} --
properly descriptive names make it much easier to understand what's going on.

It would be more sensible to let the class name indicate that this is about
printing only, like class="dontprint" and .dontprint { display:none; }.

Please trim your quotes to the relevant minimum; that usually includes to
not quote signatures. (I find it rather strange that you did, because the
signature was properly delimited and I know that your Thunderbird removes it
automatically when replying. You are not trolling, are you?)

You would also be well-advised to use a proper message-ID. As it is, anyone
could use dont-email.me because it is not a registered second-level domain
(`me.' is not a registered top-level domain to begin with). So your
message-IDs are not necessarily unique over a course of two years, with all
side-effects. (Again, you have to use
user_pref("mail.identity.default.FQDN", "dont-email.me"); in your user.js
and the like to post this header with Thunderbird …)

You have been told that this is bad advice already. Having such a link
involves another navigation step for proper printing, it does not generally
generate the same content that is currently being viewed, and it creates a
hardly maintainable mess in the PHP code. DO NOT do this, use stylesheets
instead.

And will you *please* trim your quotes?

I did not notice that your signature was broken. It was dash dash and
should have been dash dash space.

It's correct here. You might want to check your news reader.

It was not broken.

It was dash dash space. Try Ctrl+U to verify using the message source.

Sorry, in my first response to you your signature shows without a space.
I have no idea why it displays that way, I will try to be more
attentive in the future. That hiccup must be why it was not
automatically trimmed. Your post was indeed correctly formed.

I did not have a setting in about:config for
"mail.identity.default.FQDN" I put one in and it shows in regular email
for all accounts instead of the actual domain but not in newsgroup
postings. All the wejuggle2.com addresses have a message id of
webdesignforthe.com for example. Any ideas?

I thought you were worried about the message id - it was still
"dont-email.me".

I set the "mail.identity.default.FQDN" back to the default and set the
FQDN in eternal-september. The problem with message id seems to be cured.

I have tried you to send you my reply via e-mail, because this is
*off-topic* here, and that is what I got back for my efforts! :-(

If you mean that you let eternal-september.org set the Message-ID now, then
yes. Otherwise probably not as you do not own that domain either.
