Basicly, there are two way to build a report.

Building it "from scratch"

PHPReport does all the work, your just provide it with your data, like this:

$R=new PHPReport();
$R->load(array(
            'id'=>'product',
            'data'=>array(
                        array('Some product',23.99),
                        array('Other product',5.25),
                        array('Third product',0.20)
                )
            )
        );

$R->render();

It's great for exporting tabular data. Input data can be further formatted, grouped and customized. See the wiki.

Building it from template

Template is usually some excel file, already formatted and with placeholders for data. There are two types of placeholders: static and dynamic. Static placeholders are, for example, some data like date, city or customer name. Dynamic placeholders are, for example, list of products with variable number of rows.

$R=new PHPReport(array('template'=>'invoice_template.xls'));
$R->load(array(
		array(
				'id'=>'invoice',
				'data'=>array(
					'date'=>date('Y-m-d'),
					'number'=>'000312',
					'customer_id'=>'512',
					'expiration_date'=>date('Y-m-d',strtotime('+30day')),
					'name'=>'John Doe',
					'company'=>'Example, inc',
					'address'=>'Some address',
					'city'=>'Gotham City',
					'zip'=>'0123',
					'phone'=>'+123456'
				),
				'format'=>array(
					'date'=>array('datetime'=>'d/m/Y'),
					'expiration_date'=>array('datetime'=>'d/m/Y')
				)
			),
		array(
				'id'=>'product',
				'data'=>array(
					array('description'=>'Some product','price'=>23.99,'total'=>23.99),
					array('description'=>'Other product','price'=>5.25,'total'=>2.25)
				),
				'repeat'=>true,
				'format'=>array(
					'price'=>array('number'=>array('prefix'=>'$','decimals'=>2)),
					'total'=>array('number'=>array('prefix'=>'$','decimals'=>2))
				)
			)
		)
	);

$R->render();
