RE: [PHP-DB] static or dynamic "printer-friendly" webpages? From: Michael Rudel (mru <email protected>)
Date: 06/28/01

Hi Shawna,

... the best (and professional) way are dynamic PDF's. Its a bit
of work, but you can be sure that everyone can print them. You
could create a PHP script that converts your dynamic web page
into a static, printerfriendly PDF or you could try a pdf-printer,
print the page to file and send it back to the browser.

Yes: this means a bit of work, and I think there are several other
ways out there, so keep your eyes open. This was just my suggestion.

Greetinx,
  Mike
