Before I do it completely wrong...

Post by derek128kb »

I wanted to get some feedback on how I should do this.

I have an evaluation database that I created in ms access and now am in the process of making in php/mysql. It's been no problem until I wanted to create the report. I could just use access to do the reports using odbc, but it looks like it's just as much of a hassle, and I want this browser based.

The table I'm generating the report from has a course number, instructor name, class times, fifteen evaluation questions, optional name field, and a time stamp.

What I want to do is generate a report in the same structure as a ms access one, sorting by course number, instructor, and the time the class is taken, and then some computation of the figures I won't have any problem figuring out.

The main thing is how to actually pull the data from the database and structure the script. I wanted to see if anyone had any direction they could give off the top of their head, as far as what variables and queries to use, before I start doing it in a direction I might be able to complete.
