[PHP-DB] Print
Hi, I have a pressing problem with regards to printing. My situation is as follows: 1) I have a form in a table format with the following headers: | No. | Date | Contents | Remarks | 2) the fields under Contents and Remarks are textareas to allow users to type as much as they want. 3) after submitting the form, user will click on a button that will activate window.print() to print the form 4) however, sometimes user types too much and the information spills over to two or more pages. 5) user thus wish to also have the headers of the table repeated on the subsequent pages. So, my problem is, how can I know when the information will be more than a page? is there a way in PHP to calculate the number of lines output and then I can force a page-break? please help me. thank you soo soo much! regards, hwee hwee
[PHP-DB] Re: Subject: Print
This is NOT a PHP question, or even a Javascript question - it's basic HTML and CSS. You must read here http://www.dillonsoftware.com/essays/printing.jsp point #3 And here on A ListApart : http://www.alistapart.com/discuss/goingtoprint/6/ But please do not post basic HTML questions to the PHP lists unless you intend to use PHP/Windows native print functions. A little web research will also help.

[PHP-DB] grid unsetting vars
We'll I've got a query based on mysql_fetch_object to show the results of the previous
search and print them out in tables. Then I got the the $grid idea for printing an
array in a horizontally columned table from the book php cookbook from o'reilly (quite
useful) then I print it all insed the grid, but when it is supposed to send the
selected objects with a checkbox to the next page. It doesn't while everything works
just fine without the grid. #sigh# I've tried to see what's the grid doing to my
checkboxes that i the end they don't send anything at all bu i cant see what. Does
anyone?
...
while ($inb = mysql_fetch_object($resultInfs))

$grid .= '/tr';
} else {
$grid = substr($grid, 0, $end_tr_len);
}
// close table
$grid .= 'input name=submit type=submit value=ORDER/form/table';
return $grid;
}
//final results printing
$grid = grid_horizontal($infs, 3);
print $grid;
If the grid can not work with a sending to another php (that is with my checkboxes,
how could i print them ordered then?

[snip] $td = td width=\$width%%\%sinput name=\$value\ type=\checkbox\ value=\$value\Add to Cart!/td; While stab in the dark here, since I don't really know what you're after and I'm not reading through all of your code. If you don't name checkboxes as an array, you'll only ge the last checkbox value passed to PHP. You should name them like this: input type=checkbox name=value[] value=1 input type=checkbox name=value[] value=2 etc... Then you'll have $_POST['value'] as an array you can loop through. This may not matter for your code if $value is different each time and doesn't match any other form elements, though. How do you know this doesn't work? If you do a print_r($_REQUEST), do you see any of your checkbox values being passed?? ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] ODBC Column Name Truncation

Re: [PHP-DB] ODBC Column Name Truncation
The reason is because the buffer used by the odbc extension to store field
names is only 32 bytes. You can try using the sybase or odbtp extension.
Otherwise, you will have to submit it as a bug, so that it will be fixed.

Re: [PHP-DB] Please help
Just getting back to this thing. There are 3 files involved, search.php, connections.php and functions.php. I searched through all and couldn't find the meaning of the $sql_ext. $sql is just the sql statement I inserted into the code. Great that I can't get a response from the company. If anyone thinks it would be useful to post the code I will. That is if anyone would want to see and look at it. The weird thing is searching on one table is great. The list (all records) works great. The problem starts when I insert all my joins. Now I've tested and retested the query and I know it's fine.
