RE: [PHP] Output data repeatedly more than once

[esctoday.com | Wouter van Vliet]

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 ($i=0;$i3;$i++) print $Data;
?

Hope it helps !

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

Yes, you can. But would not it be smarter to increase the number of 
copies in the print dialog?

Hi all, 
   I am creating a simple receipt system whereby user will enter relevant
info   
via a text form and using echo method to output and print the receipt data. I've
used CSS as the front-end . My question is, is it possible to output the receipt
information more than once on a single page (Browser) as I would need to
print out the receipt thrice for the different department as required.

Regards, 
Irin

wrap the output in a for loop
for($i = 0; $i  3; $i++){
output receipt
}
