PHP and displaying a report

[#1]

Greetings all,

I'd like to integrate a viewer into our PHP-based portal. I'm having trouble narrowing down where to start however with all of the products, versions and SDKs.

Does anyone have a simple PHP sample which shows how to display a report in a manner similar to the way InfoView does it? I could integrate with WSDL.

Or is there a way to access reports in a viewer by URL?

We have XI Release 2.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

With Crystal Reports (up to version XI r2) you have these options:

COM based RDC

CR / inproc RAS Assemblies for .NET

Java

Now, if you want to build an interface that looks like INfoview, you'll probably be looking at Business Objects Enterprise product. The available SDKs are:

for .NET

for Java

I have no idea if any of the above will work with PHP. As none of the above products have been tested with PHP, I do not have any samples specific to PHP. Perhaps some PHP forum may be of help there.
