Ticket printing - nearly there. Just need a little SQL help please
Like a number of previous posters I have been attempting to solve the problem of producing a viable way of getting event tickets to my customers.
Having played around with a number of options I have come back to the confirmation email as the most effective way of doing things - creating the ticket(s) on the bottom of the email for the customer to print. (We are a small enough venue - 150 seats - to not have to worry too much about duplication - we would spot it in the post event ticket count and quickly identify duplicates, together with the transgressor, as their name would be on the stub)
Anyway, I've modified the information/design of the confirmation email - Email_template_checkout - to my satisfaction, with the tickets listed at the bottom of the email.
I want to do two final tweaks and would be most grateful if anyone could help me please with the SQL. in the footer section shown below
1. I want to force a printer page break above the point that the list of sales begins. (ie where there is currently a dotted line saying 'tear off' )
2. At present, the email itemises the tickets for different events on a separate line which is good. HOWEVER, what I'd really like to do is where someone has ordered x tickets is to have a little loop which prints that line/ticket x times. The number of tickets purchased is contained (I think) as a part of $products_detail.
Many thanks in advance.

It's only the hairs on a gooseberry,
