Hi all,

I want to know is it possible if I want to create a JavaScript function that when user choose menu to print a web page from the browser (not from a print button that is created) and at the same time get that print date and update to the database using PHP?
And if it is possible, how to create that function?

Please kindly give some advice because I am a newbie in web development.

Thank you

You know, the browser have some menu on top of page, such as: File, Edit, View, etc.
If you click File, you will find Print (Ctrl + P). That's the Print menu I refer to.

oh i see, well there is onbeforeprint() and onafterprint()
