Hi guys,
I'm just started CI and,I'm developing a system for a hospital as my university project, i need to print a invoice kind of thing (actually it is a small chit given to the patient, it has patient reference number, doctor unit etc.) i want to print the point at the point where patient is registered as a patient in the hospital. can you please help me to do this? any tutorial link, or simple explanation containing how to do it is good!
regards,
Rangana

This isn't very specific, but you'll just need to pass your query results to the view with something like this:
Code:
//Get query results
$data['result'] = $this->SomeModel->someFunction();
//Pass to view
$this->load->view('someView', $data);Display the results in view:
Code:
echo $result['column'];Format the view however you'd like.

Coding a button to print the current page? You can bind a jQuery click event to the button and have it print like this:
Code:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#button1').click(function()
{
window.print();
});

Also, I would make use of CSS for print. i.e.
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="yourdomain.com/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />You can then format your "invoice for print" separately from your "onscreen invoice".
