PHP Report Maker is a powerful reporting tool that can generate dynamic PHP Web reports from MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle database. But I have never seen any PHP reporting tools. I am looking for something. 'Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool. Convert HTML + CSS to PDF with PHP.

Php Reporting Tool Pdf Pada

Active3 years, 11 months ago

I have been developing with PHP for over ten years (since PHP version 3) and have used many different programming languages.

Build your PDF and Excel reports with PHP. IBM Spectrum Protect software helped LCHS automates and streamlines its physical and virtual data protection and reporting processes.
DataVision (free reporting tool) is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, Excel, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files.
Scriptcase is a must have for anyone developing web-based (internal and external) apps in a rapid fashion. Thank you Scriptcase Team! Kenn Lucas Data Analytic Tool Development Human Resources Talent Acquisition, University Relations (www.cisco.com).

But I have never seen any PHP reporting tools. I am looking for something similar to

Jasper Reports
Crystal Reports
Fast Report
Quick Report
Report Builder

I am not looking for:

FPDF
PHPExcel
TCPDF

There must be a report designer and report library.

Has anyone seen PHP reporting tools comparable to those I mentioned?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

'Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam.

You should check out Php Reports http://jdorn.github.io/php-reports/

Pros:

Display reports as HTML tables
Add charts/graphs to accompany reports
Export reports to CSV, XLS, JSON, XML, etc.
Add parameters to reports (e.g. date range)
Find reports by browsing or searching.
Looks really nice.

Cons:

No report designer, reports are just SQL files with comments for meta information
No user management or access control
No email scheduling of reports (coming soon)

I looked into all the existing solutions for PHP before writing the Php Reports framework. Everything out there was ugly, unmaintained, not flexible enough, and/or hard to set up and use.

Well, judging by your example, you are looking for tools to represent the data. So, here are few you might like

Reportico looks promising. Also it has an extension for Yii making it my favourite.

I haven't been a PHP dev for so long :P but I ran into the same issue.So I developed a solution that is comparable with Report Builder.It integrates several technologies (ApacheFOP, XSLT, XSLFO, MS Word, PHP, Doctrine 1.2) but provides a pure PHP API.

Take a look and count with my help if needed.https://github.com/juanmf/sfPlugins/tree/master/reportPlugin

Currently its a symfony plugin, but I'll decouple it.

Its similar to ReportBuilder in that you use Word as designer for report templates, where you must consider the data source structure (XML) to create the data placeholders. Also if you get your data in an array, then you can convert it into XML directly with utils methods.I explain a bit in this similar post:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5519024/report-engine-solution-for-lamp-application#13042656

There are tons of reporting libraries, most of which create Xml or Csv. You would have to give more data about what kind of reporting you need for a recommendation. I haven't used PHPExcel yet, but it is the first attempt I have seen to actually create Excel documents rather than creating CSV's that will load in Excel. PDF creation is built into PHP with the PDF functions, and is fairly easy to do.

A newer library that looks very promising is PHP Reports by jdorn on github.

This is unrelated to the older library by the same name hosted on Sourceforge.

A bit late, but you might want to check out RLib - works with PHP and MySQL and creates multiple different types - PDF, CSV, HTML etc.

Unfortunately I don't know of a decent reporting class in PHP.

Do you need a full reporting suite, or do you just need to be able to export data to the pdf and Excel file formats?

If you only need to create these kind of pages, the simplest solution would be to display the data you require and add CutePdf software which installs itself as a printer. Then you can print to pdf from the browser.

If you need to create pdf files on the server side, there is a pdf creation library in the Zend Framework. ZendFramework-1.8.1libraryZendPdf
