PHP integration

[Webby]

Hi,

 

I have just downloaded and installed Jasper Intelligence version 1.0.1 and have now hit a brick wall as to how I integrate reports with our php application.

 

I am essentially evaluating Jasper Reports as we were not entirely happy with BIRT as a reporting tool. None of our development team have any Java experience and are a little lost.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for examples or documentation regarding PHP integration. I have trawled the net with no success and all I can find on http://www.jaspersoft.com/ is a snippet saying that it's possible to integrate with PHP.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Ps. I can provide more information on setup if required

We are also looking to use jasperReport in conjunction with other tools (ServiceMix, PHP, Alfresco).

The way is to use webservices.

It works quite well (I tryed 0.92) but now it seems that there are little problems (I hope is a problem in my configuration).

Luca,

 

thanks for your response.

 

Do you have an example of how to implement this? I downloaded the 0.92 zip file that says it has a php example but can't find the example anywhere.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

I'm not an expert in the Web Services piece of the JasperIntelligence project, but maybe if you post your question here:

you could receive more helpful answers.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

You have to download jasperserver-ws-0.9.2_03 that has the php_soap example.

It worked very well.

You can also use the Java-PHP bridge which is found on Sourceforge. I've used it in the past, it enables you to call Java code directly from PHP. It also gives you the ability to create objects in Java and use that object as if it was a PHP object, quite useful.
