I am working on a project to update reporting on a system. On each report, the current system uses PHP to make one or more mySQL queries, iterates through the query results and manipulates the data, and then generates HTML for display. I am tasked with changing the reports to use Crystal Reports to make them look nicer and to generate PDFs.
I have seen many examples of using COM to create an object factory, to create a CR app, load the report, and generate a PDF. However, all of the examples just load the CR .rpt file, pass the database logon parameters, and use a direct connection to the database to generate the report. In .Net and Java, I am able to generate data tables or data sets that I can hand to the CR .rpt file once I have loaded it. This would be handy to do in this case because the PHP code already produces the data that needs to go on the report. Is there a way to do this or will I need to rewrite the PHP code as SQL procedures that I can use to generate the reports? Thanks very much!
