RE: [PHP] New Page Escape Sequence

if it's just a plain text file then, in theory, you can insert a FF character (0x0C) but as mentioned, this might not work on all printers. if you're using html, try using: <br style="page-break-before: always;"> or put the style in some other tag if it doesn't work for <br> there's also "page-break-after: always;" that you could use... -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:mlemos@acm.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 7:20 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net; Chip; Robert Samuel White Subject: Re: [PHP] New Page Escape Sequence Hello, Chip wrote: > > On Monday 03 December 2001 11:02 pm, Robert Samuel White wrote: > > I wish to take some information out of a database and create a text > > file with the information, nicely formatted.

In theory, the right way to achieve that is to put style attribute in the first paragraph the page that tells to break the page before the paragraph. I know that the attribute exists, but I don't know how many browsers obey it when they print the page. Maybe it is safe to resort to PDF.
