PHP runs on the server. JavaScript runs on the browser.
Unless you want the user to print to a printer hooked up to your web server, you need to do your print button through JavaScript, too.

sleipnir214 is right. You have to use clientsided javascript. And it is easy.
Step 1. Add this code between <head> tags on page You want to be printed:
<script language="Javascript">
<!-- Begin
function printWindow() {
bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (bV >= 4) window.print();
}
function closeW(){
window.close();
}
// End -->
</script>
Step 2. Use hyperlink for printing on page you want to be printed like this:
<a href="" onClick="javascript: printWindow(); return false;">Print</a>
This will solve your problem.
