formating problem

[Elmserv]

I am putting this chunk of code at the start of a report

$cOutput= '<input type="button" value="Print this page" onClick="window.print()">';

I print $cOutput to the screen afterwards

At the mo it repeats itself on every screen, can I have it so it only prints once?

Do you have it inside a loop?

With the amount of code you provided, it is impossible to figure out what it is that is causing the problem.

Does the button appear on one page multiple times? Then you have it printing out either in a loop or multiple print/echo statements.

Does it print at the end of each page? Then you're including it (or every page is rendered by the same script) on every page. Try either including it only on the relevant pages or include a logic that checks which page it is and only puts it on the relevant page.

That's about all we can help you with.

I have just cracked it, several faults.

1. it was in a loop

2. the variable $cOutput was not being reset after printing a page

How difficult is it to do a pdf, I am not to keen on the footer saying the name of the file & the date
