Hi there,

A client of mine wants to start generating some reports from their PHP /
MYSQL database.

They were previously gathering data from the screen and cutting and pasting
it into a Word document template. They now just want to generate it.

My initial thoughts are to just format the information in a table and then
they print it out. But due to the dynamic nature of the reports and what is
included, there might be issues with regard to the width fitting on a piece
of paper, and the general format will not look as good as a Word document
would.

What ways could I approach this problem? Is there anything available which
would make report formatting attractive and easy?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Dave
