Hello,

How can avoid other stuff on my web page ? Also when i print then 
title of
document / page no / url / date also get displayed. How can i avoid it 
?
This has nothing to do with PHP, but more with presentation (client 
side). I would like to recommend 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/, which is an excellent 
article written by CSS guru Eric Meyer about printing from the web.

I assume you want to only print the information and not the page header, 
footer, navigation, etc.  There are several ways to do this.  The best 
way is with CSS.  However, if you have not created your page primarily 
with CSS this won't work real well.  The second step is to simply remove 
 any headers or footers that you are including in your page when you 
want to print.  In others words create a link on the page that says 
print that when clicked will not load any footers or headers.  If you 
don't include any footers or headers, you could create a script that 
would remove  tags and some others in order to print only the 
relevant material.

Also when i print then title of document / page no / url / date also get displayed.

This kind of information is usually from the OS, browser or printer 
driver.  Therefore, it would be very hard if not impossible to turn off 
through server-side scripting or even with JavaScript.
