Report extraction/export

Post by rbhoumik »

I have made a library software by using PHP and MySql...The problem is that I have to make a page where the librarian can generate reports of the no. of books, their prices, details, comparison of book bought per year, etc from the table which contains the book details.

Is it possible to export such reports in PHP?If so...can anyone please guide me in details how to do it?

Please help

Export to what format? Just displaying it on the report webpage? Plain text? Export to an Excell sheet or PDF?

Ok, then just google some php-to-doc/pdf/xls library (there are plenty available, also free / open source) and use that to output the content you need.
