Re: 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.

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.
