Using select boxes to print multiple records??
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 11:48 am
First of all i'm new here and its now time to post my problem as i have searched the forums like i normally do for my help and there isn't anything that explains or helps me in this instance.
I have an online shop which i have built from the ground up, the shop works like any other shop and processes orders. These orders are then stored in two tables one for the orders and one for the order details. When i login all of the weeks orders are present on the first admin page so i know which orders i need to process, This list consists of all the details from the orders table and then to see the full order i go into a second page to view stock levels, products ordered and delivery information. Once i have done this i have a button at the bottom of the order details page that sends a varible to a page that prints the order receipt so that its printed and put into an envelope and shows the customers address in the clear window.
Now im not sure weather i can do this in PHP or weather it will require some javascript as i am using Javascript to popup a print dialogue when the Print Invoice page is called.
I want to have a select box on each record repeated on the main screen so i can select multiple records and then have one button that i can click at the bottom which prints all records i've selected. This is because the sheire number of orders i am recieving is now warrenting a different method to print invoices and hand them to my packing department.
Any help is apreciated!! how big or how small, any direction would be apreciated on this as i am stuck.
I am not looking for a total script from anyone just some help, im not lazy and will do the work myself im just not sure on how to do this or if it is possible.
Regards
Steve
