Anyone who has done this before? Assuming you have a Linux box running, I did the following, writing the data you got from cart to a .txt file using fopen(), fputs() then translate this with a2ps (takes time to get the commandline, so I post it here) a2ps -q -r --footer=nothing -B --borders=1 --font-size=10.0 --tabsize=3 (cutted here, space between -- parameters) --left-title=Your Title -oout1.ps YourInput.txt Then use Ghostscript to make a faxfile (as above) gs -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=faxg3 -sOUTPUTFILE=send -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE out1.ps then sendfax (package mgetty+sendfax) to send this file I used sendfax, as it is easy to configure, and the commandline is not so big ;-) the commands to a2ps, gs and sendfax are transmitted via exec() HTH Oliver -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If it's your web site, you have all the data, so why not just generate the text yourself at the same time as you're generating the HTML? You can write it to a file or email it to your fax server. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can try using fopen() and fwrite(), they are the primary file manipulation tools you should use in this instance. -Original Message- From: Raymond Lilleodegard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2002 5:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] How to convert a website to a txtfile?
