    Print to printer using PHP

    Ok I know absolutely nothing about PHP. I want to know if it is possible to have a webpage, that after you click a "submit" button or something, it will print something from a printer on a computer. The printer will always be the same. Like I mean if anyone in the world goes on the site, something will print from one location...

    Re: Print to printer using PHP

    The only printer functions i know of in PHP are here
    http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.printer-open.php

    Im not sure if they are that much help to you though as if the pizza places are not on the same location as the website is hosted you may have some problems.

    Although as far as i know you could setup a shared printer over the interent if you need to but i don't know how secure this is.
