This class generates HTML, PDF and CSV Reports from MySQL Query.
Here's how it works:
For HTML Report:
- Executes given query and generates HTML report first
- Appends query reports to previous report(if any)
- Creates an HTML file and store that report-data as HTML report
For PDF Report:
- Gets URL of the resultant HTML report
- Creates PDF report for that HTML report by using remote application
For CSV Report:
- Executes given query and prepares CSV headers from result resource
- Traverses result resource and prepares CSV compatible text
- Outputs that data (download prompt)
For Remote PDF Application, I have used html2ps and html2pdf (supplied by http://www.tufat.com/script19.htm). It is 100% FREE for commercial AND non-commercial use! It renders pages as PDF documents and PostScript files. I have deployed this application to phpResource(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/phpresource/) group's server for easy and reliable access. My special thanks goes to phpResource group.
