| Reporting Tools On CodeIgniter |
Hello Guys,
I am a newbie in CodeIgniter community and started working on a medium scale web application for a big company. Right now the main issue I am facing is, what type of reporting tools is supported on CodeIgniter and How to integrate it into CI. Is there any good resource or video or link that I miss? Cause I searched about this thread for past 1 weeks and didn't get any perfect answer. See, we have to develop so many reports based on the company needs and my boss wants it with a reporting tool.Because the company have some complicated reports , which also very tough for designing also. And my boss didn't want to use TCPDF, MPDF or FPDF. If anybody has any resources, please feel free to share it on this thread too.
Of course when you are starting out looking for tools and libraries you will look for things written in Codeigniter. And thats always a good place to start. But otherwise you can use ANY library that works in PHP. Just drop it in the application library folder. And if the tool you are looking for needs Composer thats no problem, you can set Composer in codeigniter application/config/config.php
PhpExcel or similar libs is a good one for creating spreadsheet files. Php is also capable of producing csv files.
The one that I saw that worked for CodeIgniter was Jasper Reports.
Of course you may need to modify for newer version of CodeIgniter Integration of Jasper Report – PHP CodeIgniter Web Framework What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I took a look at jasper reports. But I can't figure out if it costs $? I am looking for a reporting tool that generates pdf reports that I can email to my users. My service is free and I am already financing the hosting, so I really can't spend too much. Are there any open source competitors?

Hi,
I have same needs and I'm a newbie too. It's pretty complicated to integrate KoolReport in CI4. I've installed koolreport/core and koolreport/codeigniter with composer but it's not simple to use. Tutorials below not work for me : https://www.koolreport.com/docs/integrat...deigniter/ https://github.com/koolreport/codeigniter Do you have some tutorials for beginners ? Thanks 
May be off topic but I make my reports in Microsoft Report Builder and Crystal Reports.
And every day, week, month and year I run automatic with the task manager the reports to pdf and send them with an email. Is that an option for you? Andre
flav, I use koolreport. It works pretty well and they are pretty helpful on their forum. It really consists of a bunch of "non-koolreport" written widgets that have all be integrated into koolreport. I am using CI3, btw. The report consists of two files. a) the file where you build the dataStore b) the file where you build the report, called a .view. Take a look at their Examples. They don't have the greatest documentation!
Jasper was way beyond me. I have done some pretty complex reports in koolreport. BTW, it is not superfast.
