Re: Printing text on a printer in PHP4 Using PRINTER function

Hi, The php_printer.dll can only be used to print on a printer attached to the server (or a network printer known by the server). Remember that PHP is a server based scripting language. The content you are sending to the client (HTML documents) are handled by the client alone. If your client is a browser you have to use the prowsers priinting functions. For security resons these functions can not be accessed from the server. Could you imaging your local printer printing ad's each time you visited a web site ? - Frank > Does anybody has a script that will print basic text to a printer that is on > the client side.
