i am also a tad confused.
i have produced numerous reports in differing formats from PHP and a mysql
database, using things such as many figures to calculate hours/dollar value
for work in a timesheet format, text-based "comment" reports and simple
archive reports for student details, these were all just formatted how i
wanted them to print in the html, and then the user clicks print in their
browser and they have a report.
if you are referring to a "Custom Report Style" as in a different file
format, then the most useful way I found of doing this is by generating a
CSV file, or a tab delimited .txt file, which can then be opened in Excel or
similar to display tabulated data, and most programs which manipulate data
will accept a CSV file as input, and then manipulate it in different ways
from there...
hope something in there helps
Beau
