[PHP] Creating a report in PHP
I have a DB that the users maintain of usual address information. I would like to create a report from the current data so that any user can download it. Is there a "report generator" that will give me the flexibility to use fonts and fontfaces that works with PHP and MySQL? Many thanks.. Todd --

Hi Todd, Is there a report generator that will give me the flexibility to use fonts and fontfaces that works with PHP and MySQL? I don't know of a PHP-based report generator (although a hunt round sourceforge might turn something up), but you can: 1. use PHP scripts to output your reports in HTML, with CSS for styling and layout 2. use a standalone reports package like Crystal Reports which will talk to MySQL directly 3. build an MS Access front-end to your MySQL tables and use its native reporting functions At $WORKPLACE we have a number of reports generated as HTML pages by PHP scripts - these are the ones that get run many times on a daily basis and always look the same - and Crystal installed on the managers' PCs for ad hoc reporting.

I don't know of a PHP-based report generator (although a hunt round sourceforge might turn something up), but you can: After are long, long, long search on the inet, I came to the conclusion that there is no *decent* report generator for PHP. So I started to write my own. You can find it at: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/phpgrid/ I recommend you to use the CVS version, basically is a powerful grid to make easier the table management and after that, you can use the data dictionary generated (field names, calculated fields, etc) to generate a report both in HTML and PDF. It works for my and the company I work for, I don't know if it will fit your needs, feel free to contact with me for any question.
