How to create report generation using php codes

[newphpcoder]

Good day!I upgrade my version of mysql from mysql 4.1.10 to mysql 5.0.15. Now I used phpmyadmin to access my database using XAMPP. Now, I need to create a report generation and I have no idea how I can do that. What are the requirements and configuration I need to do? Is it a free application like a crystal reports that I can download? Or should I create my own report generation using php?I found codes for report generation and honestly I can’ understand the whole codes because I am a beginner in using php.Thank you in advance

Now's the time to learn. Using someone's php script without knowing php will always be problematic. So, if you need a report, you'll need a mysql database and table do you have that?If so what table columns do you want to use in your report?

Generating reports is as simple as querying the database and displaying the data. Nothing more, nothing less. Have a look at the PHP MySQL tutorial to learn how to interact with a database and pull out the data you need.As far as how the report looks, you'd just use HTML/CSS.
