Need an info on PHP Reporting Framework/API/Tools

Question

I have created My portal on PHP and MYSQL.

I am unable to find a competitive PHP based tool/Framework like Jasper report which can be used to design reports

The framework must be an Open source and rich and flexible in extending its basic functionality

Do you know solution to problem of reports in PHP ?

Answer 1

Not PHP based, but can be installed in a PHP environment. Check out Eclipse BIRT. I use it in tight integration with my PHP pages, but you will need to have Tomcat running on some alternate ports.

Answer 2

I know you are looking for a pure PHP solution. But in case you are willing to actually use jasper in PHP, Richard Johnson had a great how-to post to do just that:
