Hi Brendan
I've done quite a bit with Crystal Reports over the last few months.
Due to licencing issues and the cost of purchasing the required
components to run crystal reports XI through the official crystal report
webservice channels I ended up writing my own webservice in c# which I
then call via some SOAP calls with PHP. It works well for me (although
the software is still a bit alpha). If you think It would help you I
can send through some code.
If your simply wanting to work with the data from the crystal report,
consider connecting directly to your database via ODBC or something like
that and running the SQL query.
If you are wanting to do a weekly report you might want to check out
some free software called Crystal Delivery by Groff automation.
regards
Aaron

hi there,
Does anyone have any experience with Crystal Reports? and integrating
them through to PHP using CURL?
I am writing a script to take a exported file (csv or xml) from a
crystal report and process it accordingly.
However, at present the crystal report view provided is pre export and
is written by a crystal widget...and the HTML code is not able to be
parsed and obtain the data in that way...
wonder if anyone had had similar work experience with Crystal Reports?
The solution I have at the moment is to manually view the report and
export to a CSV file / XML and then import into my PHP system...
However want to automate it as it will be come a weekly process...
Much appreciated...
