[FX.php List] PHP question: Presenting the user with multiple pages from each result

[John Funk]

I like option 1 but I already have my php page that builds the label in
html. Looks like I would need to reconstruct the page withfpdf?
Option 2 seem the most logical.....is there any PHP function / code that
will do the printing from a button? I¹d like to stay away from java.
Option 3, again Javascript....

Good ideas, thanks
