What I would advise is to capture the output of your reciept into a
variable. Assuming that you've got some function calls, maybe even Database
request mixed up with some print commands .. Or even some times where you
escape out of php (?>). Something like this
<?php
$RecieptID = GetRecieptID();
Print "Your reciept number: ".$RecieptID;
$SomeVar = Functioncall();
Print "----------------------\n";
// some garbage //
Print "You owe me: ".getTotalValue();
?>
And you don't want to run the script multiple times. Do like this:
<?php
ob_start();
$RecieptID = GetRecieptID();
print "Your reciept number: ".$RecieptID;
$SomeVar = Functioncall();
print "----------------------\n";
// some garbage //
print "You owe me: ".getTotalValue();
$Data = ob_get_clean(); // or php versions earlier than 4.3: $Data =
ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
for ($i=0;$i<3;$i++) print $Data;
?>
Hope it helps !

But that would be environmentally unfriendly because it uses more paper ;-)
