For a client i am working on a mysql php database with a web interface, and i need to have a section where they can build reports and save them. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i got about doing this with a table that has 3 or 4 joins on it? And what is the best way to build pdfs with php?
I mean about in terms of displaying to the user and what questions to ask – I was thinking about the office access query wizard and maybe doing something like that. Asking what fields they want to display, what order etc. I was just looking for decent ways to do that and how.
Thank you for the two suggestions for PDF writing, I will look into them.
To generate pdf’s in php I use fpdf. It’s easy, free, and more functional than some of the alternatives. For more help with the rest of your question I’d really need more information.
