George Langley Multimedia Developer Suppose we are using this tool at sever side. We have set up the php page so that all request will be saved in a db. And based on the conditions in request a pdf CAN be generated by this tool. My question is how will we give the trigger for generating this pdf? We cant do it in the php script due to the timeout problem. The only solution i can think of is a cron which is repeated every 5 min or so which fetches records from the db and generates the pdf. But even with a cron we will face the timeout problem. Is there any alternative to a cron like a server side service or something? Midhun Girish -- As I understand it, the server-side timeout can be increased in the php.ini setting. So the PHP script can run as long as required if that is set sufficiently high enough. As long as you send something to the browser to confirm that the process has started, the browser-side timeout will not be a problem and your user will know to wait until notified by email that the file is ready. Once the script has completed, it stores the final db record and sends the email. George
[PHP] Report generation as pdf and csv in php application for huge record set
Hi all, I have an erp application developed in php (zend framework actually). There are many reports which the admin level users can take from the application. Some reports have more than 600,000 records. The viewing of reports in the browser is fine as i have paginated the result. But when it comes to exporting the entire report as pdf and in excel format, im in trouble. I use fpdf for pdf generation and a custom class for converting result to excel. Both these fails when the number of records exceeds 500. Now i have pagianted the report generation and users can download the pdf page wise. But that is not the exact requirement. Im in need of a tool to generate pdf and excel(or csv) for large data set. I came across http://www.htmldoc.org/when i googled for one. Has anyone in the list has faced a similar problem. How exactly is report generation possible when the number of records is extremely huge? Is there a good solution which can be implemented in php? Please help. Midhun Girish

FAQ #16 on: http://www.fpdf.org/en/FAQ.php#q16 has some useful info on handling large files: 16. What's the limit of the file sizes I can generate with FPDF? There is no particular limit. There are some constraints, however: - The maximum memory size allocated to PHP scripts is usually 8MB. For very big documents, especially with images, this limit may be reached (the file being built into memory). The parameter is configured in the php.ini file. - The maximum execution time allocated defaults to 30 seconds. This limit can of course be easily reached. It is configured in php.ini and may be altered dynamically with set_time_limit(). - Browsers generally have a 5 minute time-out. If you send the PDF directly to the browser and reach the limit, it will be lost. It is therefore advised for very big documents to generate them in a file, and to send some data to the browser from time to time (with a call to flush() to force the output).

[PHP] Report generators: experience, recommendations?
I'm looking for a report generator which will be used to create management reports for my client from a MySQL database. The web site is implemented in PHP. Some characteristics that would be nice to have, roughly in order of importance: * It is moderately priced (a few hundred dollars at most) or free. * A developer can easily learn to create moderately complex reports. * A developer can easily add code to provide functionality not supported by the generator. * The generator can be installed on a shared server (it doesn't require any unusual extensions or changes to php.ino or the server configuration. * A non-technical user can easily learn to create simple reports without help. A client-server solution is OK. The client has to run on Windows. I've found one PHP product so far, phpreports. There are many other reporting tools that might be suitable, but most of them seem to be written in Java, or else they're black boxes. Has anyone had experience with report generators that meet these criteria? What would you recommend; what would you stay away from? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Report generators
I was looking for a report generator library and found a good one called agata. What I need (and the library does not provide) is the ability to export the generated report in doc and excel format. The library does exports the reports in openoffice Write format but this would require to post-process the generated file in order to convert it into doc. As for excel, a possible solution would be to use the CSV format but is not a good solution either. Does anybody knows any other library which exports into pdf,doc and excel formats?

[PHP] Report Generator
I need to make a report engine using a couple of mySQL tables. What I'm working on is a add/remove select-option list with the column names so the user can customize their own report. They can add/remove the columns in the order that they want, then order by a column asc/desc. The report page will have the column headers then the data. It's taking me a little time to write this and I'm wondering if their is something like this out there already I can use?

I set up my filters to simply dump all messages that are remotely like those to the trash ... might loose some valid in between, but the trash is starting to take over to the point where it's getting too much work to dump it manually ... Recently, I decided to Take Steps. Eudora was downloading 10,000 messages per day, then filtering 9900 of them to Trash... But my poor cable-modem and Mac 9100/100 just couldn't keep up. I spent more time waiting for Eudora to process email than I did working! Squirrel Mail is okay, so long as you log in frequently... Because its filters only run when you log in! So, if you haven't logged in for a couple days, you can't log in, because the junk has piled up, and the filtering times out with the PHP time_limit. Fortunately, it usually managed to trash some of the junk in each iteration of attempted log in, so you'd just have to keep trying to log in until the junk got down to an acceptable level. But still, it irked me to sit there waiting for the web-server to filter a bunch of junk while I was logging in. What numb-nuts thought that was a good idea? Run the filters all day, every day, and take out the trash every minute. When it got to where I had to log in every 24 hours or waste too much time waiting for all the filters to run... It started with a PHP script to pick through the stuff Spam Assassin hadn't caught, and get rid of even more junk: http://l-i-e.com/imap/index.phps I was winning for awhile... Over time, I built up my subject/body keywords of junk. Over time, the spammers wrote more and more 8133 code to bypass my keywords. Over time, the spammers cranked up more gear, and send more and more junk. I have conceded the arms race. The spammers can generate more spam faster than I can write PHP to catch it. And that's saying something. :-^ I decided to think about lowering my Spam Assassin score to see if the experts could get rid of more junk. I was worried about losing real email. I had NO IDEA how much of my real email was scoring how high. NO IDEA where to set the cutoff. Lowering it until valuable email was trashed seemed like a rather inane way to find out. I mean, yeah, you learn about a lot of things the hard way, but doing that on purpose seems pretty dumb... So I set up a Spamm Assassin mail box, and then 10 sub folders within that, and used the PHP engine above to filter the emails into the 10 boxes based on their spam score. Anything scoring 9 in Spam Assassin goes in the 9 box. Then scores of 8 in the 8 box. And so on. It's about a week or two now. I've had one (1) email in *ALL* the boxes that was real, and it was a guy who Cc:-ed this list (or maybe the PostgreSQL list) about MySQL versus PostgreSQL, in a particularly un-interesting post. EVERYTHING ELSE that had any Spam Score at all was junk. My Inbox is back to managable levels, at least for now. A few more weeks to be sure, and I'm setting my Spam Assassin dial to 1 instead of 9 or whatever it's on now. Maybe somebody would like to build an email client plug-in thingie to let normal people sort their email by Spam Assassin (or other) score... It was certainly instructive for me! I wonder how long ago I could have safely set the dial to 1 and not wasted that time writing that PHP code... Well, I guess I learned how to do the IMAP thing, and that's not bad, eh? But there's quite a few, atleast on the email version of the lists, that have their vCard attached to their messages (they may not even know it), so we'd loose all those (valid) messages as well if the list has a flat rule about no attachments. I don't really care, I just have to regularly empty my attachments folder because of all those vCards Ah, yes. Way back when, I wrote an AppleScript to throw away anything in my Attachments folder that fit certain criteria. *.vcf was definitely one of the first to go. I'd give it to you but, A) that hard drive crashed, and B) you should do in PHP shell script with OS X anyway :-) You can also configure Eudora to not download attachments until you ask it to, which turned out to be best in the long run. Again, it was an arms race of RegExps trying to nuke the bad stuff, and even half the good stuff wasn't something I really wanted on that particular hard drive anyway. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Report on: LDAP specific?
tor, 2002-11-14 kl. 11:50 skrev Krzysztof Dziekiewicz: I can show a jpeg using a href with a target, either in a new page or a frame. To do this, PHP needs to be fed 'header(Content-type: image/jpeg)'. This can be put more or less anywhere in the very short script used for showing the jpeg and works. However, if I try to put any more html code into the script, i.e. 'print html';, print 'body'; etc, *anywhere*, I get a headers already sent error. You can not put any html code with image code. If you send some html you mean to send header(Content-Type: text/html) with header(Content-type: image/jpeg) Where do you want go to ? You can do so: There is on the page http://xxx/user.html?name=smith some html code where a user can act. Among the html code you insert img src=http://xxx/userfoto.html?name=smith; On http://xxx/userfoto.html you send header(Content-type: image/jpeg) and the image content and no html code. This fscking well works!!! It works with frames (one frame can be hidden) and it works with pages. I would *never* have had the intelligence to have found this out for myself, well maybe it woould have taken me a month. Krzysztof and php-general, I love you all like brothers.

We've had to generate invoices to be snail-mailed, I've also done the same thing. Approximately 400 invoices a day all from a backend administration website. However, we forked out a license to use the PDF library. imagine if the address in the invoiced didn't matched the envelope's transparent area... (don't think a word document can handle 6000 invoices anyway) Yes, well true. But, the point was there is the facility to use a COM object instead of some multi-server or java kludge. If you can find a COM object to do the task (Matt: you talked about using Access for your needs) then that'll probably be the easiest/fasted solution on Win32 (short of paying for PDF). On a side note, is there some Adobe license which prevents people writing Free for use PDF libraries? Or is it just by chance that the 2 that exist require you to purchase a license?

[PHP] report generation with PHP
Hello: I wrote an small web application that interfaces a Microsoft Access database. The database is fairly small and simple: it is a listing of employees, their phone number(s) and their department. My interface allows folks to view the phone list, search for a name, list by department, etc., and allows certain users to update the phone book (add employees, change phone numbers, etc). It's a fairly typical phonebook application. The Access database has a macro in it that allows for the generation of a report. The report is a nicely formatted listing of all the employees and their phone numbers, grouped by department. Everybody fits on one page. The whole purpose of this report is to be printable, and so that the one page phone list can be distributed throughout the factory. Now I want to be able to generate this report from the web. It doesn't have to use Access (and I would prefer that it didn't, so I can convert to MySQL). But I don't know of a nice (and easy!) way to generate such a report. Using HTML tables isn't acceptable---when you print, you still get the header and footer that the browser adds (and it's unacceptable to have everyone modify their browser's setup). Furthermore, the printable list has to look as close as possible to the original, because if I start changing formats, people will get upset. So I'm not really too sure where to start on this one. If anyone could offer some suggestions, and point me in the right direction, it would be sincerely appreciated!
