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 // -----Original Message----- // From: milesthompson@ns.sympatico.ca // [mailto:milesthompson@ns.sympatico.ca] // Sent: Thursday, 26 July 2001 9:53 PM // To: Sommai Fongnamthip; php-db@lists.php.net // Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] report style printing // // // // I'm confused - what do you mean?
