Thanks for the suggestions, Derrick, Steve and ggt,
Just to clarify, there are two working modes for this project:
1) The user registers online and then prints the resulting completed
form. This works fine with the javascript window_print function.
2) To prepare for users who show up to the event without their
printed registration forms, I wanted to bulk print all the forms to
have on hand. That's the step I am seeking. And that is where I
realize that PHP via the browser can not handle the job of looping
through 500 records and printing via a script.
Dale just asked if the printing was through the browser. That's the
only way I know at the moment...except for PDF. Are there others?
Derrick's idea of using webviewer crossed my mind and I might try it,
although I'm worried about wasting time when I know that just biting
the bullet and recreating the form in FMP layout is straight forward.
By the way...the registration is for Little League, where we are
replacing a time-honored paper form process.
