    Using Crystal Reports with PHP

    Our company intranet is strictly PHP-based. However, one of my new projects
    is to publish on-demand reports generated in Crystal Reports 9. Has anyone
    done this using PHP? Like many non-open source software packages, there is
    a lot of documentation on how to do this using ASP or Java, but nothing with
    PHP.

    I even attended a Crystal Reports seminar in hopes of getting some answers.
    The response I got was: PHP? What's that? Never heard of it!

    If anyone has done anything like this, I'm not looking for specifics at this
    point, just wondering whether or not it can be done before investing a lot
    of time and effort into this project.

    Thanks!

      Seems like you have two options:

      1. If you run PHP on Windows, call Crystal Reports as a COM object.
      2. Regardless of your OS, you should still be able to use Crystal
      Reports' Web services. Learn the specs, get yourself a copy
      of NuSOAP, and you should be all set...
