Right. % % I like his plan and just wish to add that you could create printable % PDFs using PHP. Well, be careful of that... Usually one expects a "printable version" or a "printer-friendly format" to be stripped of eye candy that would be useless on paper -- but to still work within the web browser. There are many reasons PDFs won't work for people in search of a printable format; not having (or being allowed to install) AcroRead is one, and my personal favorite is that "printer-friendly" pages are also "me-friendly" pages when I surf with lynx (I rarely drag out a GUI browser, and rarely to the point of "almost never" allow Javascript). % % -- % PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) % To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
