Crystal reports ?

[isaac_cm]

I dont know, I was thinking it is used with asp.net and windows applications only,

 

I have crystal report is it possible to use it with php ? how ?

 

Update:

i found some resource to use crystal report as a com object, but is it allowed in all php hosts ? plz post your resource too.

 

Thanks

I haven't worked out how to integrate php and crystal, but then it sounded as though you didn't want to use any coding. It should be possible to exec a crystal report runner, but only if your host permits exec(), which is rare.

 

I've always found FPDF good for reports, but that does require coding effort, and it doesn't need any extensions installing.
