Hi Todd, > Is there a "report generator" that will give me the > flexibility to use fonts and fontfaces that works with > PHP and MySQL? I don't know of a PHP-based report generator (although a hunt round sourceforge might turn something up), but you can: 1. use PHP scripts to output your reports in HTML, with CSS for styling and layout 2. use a standalone reports package like Crystal Reports which will talk to MySQL directly 3. build an MS Access front-end to your MySQL tables and use its native reporting functions At $WORKPLACE we have a number of reports generated as HTML pages by PHP scripts - these are the ones that get run many times on a daily basis and always look the same - and Crystal installed on the managers' PCs for ad hoc reporting.
