mm00re Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am not that strong with PHP however I am at the point that I need to be able to build and run reports. I am not opposed to paying for such a program but would like some advice as far as to where I would look to see how it's done or if I should just buy a product can you recommend something? Thanks!

celsoendo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It depends on what type of reports do you want. If you want some OLAP tools, I think the best software to work with OLAP and MySQL is Pentaho (www.pentaho.com). It is open-source and free. But maybe this is too much for your needs... Depending on what do you want, maybe the best is to design the reports using php and some graphical component to generate graphics. But your database must be well designed so that you can retrieve data fast and with high performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
