staccato_en is correct. You can't do it in PHP. PHP is server-side
only, and can't access anything on the client side (other than cookies -
but that's really the http protocol doing it).
And you could even use javascript to load the next page after printing.
However, if I found someone doing that on my system, I'd be gone from
that site in no time. But if it's on an intranet or otherwise has
restricted access, it might be ok.
