RE: [PHP-DB] static or dynamic "printer-friendly" webpages?

hmmm, let me think about this. unless you are crazy you will choose your to stay dynamic. Can you imagine keeping track of new records... "let's click the PF version so I can print this... What the hell! Shawna I can't print this damn thing. This link doesn't work. blah blah..." It only gets worse I'm sure. I would try doing something with CSS... then you may even decide to change the other template. :) olinux -----Original Message----- From: sgibbs@vt.globalhealth.org [mailto:sgibbs@vt.globalhealth.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 3:13 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] static or dynamic "printer-friendly" webpages? Question for all you php experts out there: My organization's website is based on mysql/php backend - 95% of the webpages are generated dynamically using templates and database records. We have been asked to create "printer-friendly" versions of these pages. Now for your opinion/advice: should we (1)create another template called "print.php" for example and generate there print friendly pages dynamically or should we (2)create static html copies of each database record so that they are "print friendly"? By "print friendly" I mean I want a page that doesn't have the text cut off the right hand side of the page (nevermind, for now, that the original page shouldn't do this in the first place :) ) Thank you so much for your help! - Shawna _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
