    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function(){
            $('#printOut').click(function(e){
                e.preventDefault();
                var w = window.open();
                var printOne = $('.contentToPrint').html();
                var printTwo = $('.termsToPrint').html();
                w.document.write('<html>' + printOne + '<hr />' + printTwo   ) + '</body></html>';

                w.window.print();

                w.document.close();
   I INSERTED HERE>>>   insert();  <<<<<<<<<<< AND  WORKS BUT NOT BY CLOSING THE priter WINDOWS. I dont want to close the BROWSER!  
                return false;

            });
        });
    </script>

where can i call the php function insert();

JavaScript is client side. PHP is server side. This is not possible without an ajax call. — War10ck

"POS" - point of sale, or piece of s***? " i would like to call a function after the windows be closed from printing" . Can you try to re-word that? Are you saying you want to print after the window (browser) has been closed? Where are you trying to insert() something? Please edit your question... — Floris

You can't call a PHP function since it's on the sever and your JavaScript code is on the client. You can navigate to a PHP containing that function or make an AJAX call to that page.

Navigating via Javascript would be:

document.location = "yourpage.php"

You should have some JavaScript in the destination page close the window once it loads.

You cannot call PHP functions in the classic sense with Javascript. PHP code is run on the server, while Javascript code is executed in the user's browser window. What you can do however is use a technology called AJAX to send a request back to your server. Using HTTP methods you could initiate a PHP script that returns information back to your Javascript code also over HTTP.
