Generating Reports in Php

Post by aditi_19 »

Hello,

I want to create reports in php and want to save them in pdf format, but i have no clue where to start from. I have already created web pages for use but i really don't know how to make reports in php. It would be of great help if any one could guide properly and post some online tutorials for use.

Thanks

there's a whole load of commands for using PDF in PHP - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php . Although I've never used them myself.

If I were you I'd start by working out what information you need to grab ( i take it it'll be from you database) and make it into a report on a webpage that you can view and then have a look at sending that to a pdf.

Hope this helps.
