One method is by running an FM Script. (This is if you want to print from an FM Layout.)

Here is a php script which "run" an FM Script:

<?php



	$result = file_get_contents("http://localhost:591/FMPro?-db=combotest.fp5&-format=-fmp_xml&name=owen&-script=test&-find");

	if ($result==0)

		{ echo "Yahoo!!!";}

	else

		{ echo "Not OK";};

		

?>

All the best.

Garry,

By printing I meant sending the just created record to the printer and automatically printing it out.

Thanks.

P.S. I'm using the FX module to connect to FM.

I do not use FX, however here is a PHP method which calls a Script:

$args = "";

while ($fm_params = Current($_REQUEST))

   {

   $args .= urlencode(key($_REQUEST)) . "=" . urlencode($fm_params) . "&";

   next($_REQUEST);

   };

@include("http://localhost:591/FMPro?" . $args);

?>


You could use a Form like this:



<body>

Hello World<br>

<form action="fmpro.php" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="combotest.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="-fmp_xml">

<input type="hidden" name="-script" value="printrec">

fields go here.......

<input type="submit" name="-new" value="New Rec">

</form></body>

Good Luck with the FX version.

Garry
