The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How do I activate a php log entry when printing a external page?

Asked by NEILPH in PHP Scripting Language, JavaScript, Dynamic HTML (DHTML)

Tags: HTML, PHP, JAVASCRIPT, CSS, IE6+

Here's my related question.

To recap, I was trying to activate a php script when printing a page. You said "If you need to have something done when

printing then you should provide a separate page for printing and a button to bring it up."

I then put <link rel="alternate" media="print" href="printme.htm" /> in the header of print_other_page.htm [see snippet 4],

and <img src="one.php?action=print" width="1" height="1" border="0" style="display: none" title="" id="printcount" />
in the body of printme.htm [snippet 5].

A bit kludgy but it works.

Now, I want the user to be able to choose the page to be printed (and preview some of it first). I need the log entry to

activate even if the user prints using the browser menu\toolbar rather than my Print button.

I've tried to solve this by creating a frameset [see snippets 1,2 and 3]. You'll see that it includes the link and img

elements from the first solution. It works fine except that it prints the default contents "Remote File:

http://www.google.com".

I've tried many variations without success. What do you think? Maybe a non-frame approach would work,e.g. pop-up preview

window, #include, iframes, a third frame to talk to the php script, an object element, onclick()?

Bear in mind that eventually I will want to send info to the php script for the log entry: user name from a cookie, the url

of the printed page.

That's it.Start Free Trial
