RE: [PHP-DB] report style printing
OK. How do I operate when finished generate text file or report file in server? Could I download it and to view / print from client report viewer?

RE: [PHP-DB] report style printing
i am also a tad confused. i have produced numerous reports in differing formats from PHP and a mysql database, using things such as many figures to calculate hours/dollar value for work in a timesheet format, text-based "comment" reports and simple archive reports for student details, these were all just formatted how i wanted them to print in the html, and then the user clicks print in their browser and they have a report. if you are referring to a "Custom Report Style" as in a different file format, then the most useful way I found of doing this is by generating a CSV file, or a tab delimited .txt file, which can then be opened in Excel or similar to display tabulated data, and most programs which manipulate data will accept a CSV file as input, and then manipulate it in different ways from there... hope something in there helps Beau // -Original Message- // From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Thursday, 26 July 2001 9:53 PM // To: Sommai Fongnamthip; [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] report style printing // // // // I'm confused - what do you mean?

Re: [PHP-DB] report style printing
I'm confused - what do you mean? When you use the terms "Browser Style" and "Custom Report Style" are you referring to style sheets, a property of a particular browser, or what? If style sheets, keep in mind that different browsers react in unique ways to style sheets. As I understand PHP you use it to generate HTML output, which more or less constrains you to what you see in the browser. You can also create a text file and email it to the user, or display it in the browser, but that will involve programming the report in PHP, there is no report writer.
