The most basic template will use 3 tokens: Page Title is !TITLE!,
URL to original page is !URL!, and the printable content is !CONTENT!
A more fully-featured template which includes both “Print”
and “Close This Window” buttons is included in the
download version of this script.

<html><head> <title>!TITLE!</title> <base href="!URL!"></head> <body>!CONTENT! <br><br>Page printed from: !URL! </body> </html>
Beginning the Printer Version script
Create a new file called print.php and start the file with:
<?
A few options need to be set in the beginning.
First are the MySQL server connections.
<?php
//Server Settings
$mysv="localhost"; #your server name
$myun="your MySQL username";
$mypw="your MySQL password";
$mydb="your MySQL database name";
//Connection
$db = mysql_connect($mysv, $myun, $mypw);
mysql_select_db($mydb,$db);
?>
Next we tell the script how many days to cache the printable
HTML content of a webpage. After this many days the script
will go spider the webpage again. If your webpages change
frequently, you may wish to make this a lower number.

<?php
$daystocache = 5;

<?php
$GrabStart = "<!--startclickprintinclude-->";
$GrabEnd = "<!--endclickprintinclude-->";
?>
You have the option of excluding certain content that is

<?php
$ExcludeStart = "<!--startclickprintexclude-->";

<?php
$TitleStart = "<title>";
