I don't, but I do know you should be very careful with Crystal Reports. We used it at my company a few years ago and we had to do a bunch of error handling for various bugs in Crystal Reports, not the least of which was it's inability to add by 1 in certain instances.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

I used Crystal Reports some years ago, and had many problems with it not doing the basic master-detail relationships correctly.

In the end, I created plain text based reports that served the same purpose.

Do really need PHP to make the connection between Crystal Reports and MySQL? I thought Crystal Reports could connect directly to MySQL.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Dont use Crystal Reports!

Dont use Crystal Reports,

It is easy enough to create php reports, in html or using GD library, etc.
Cystal reports look good but are a nightmare to work with.
