After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

PHPJasperXML

PHP WYSIWYG Web/PDF Report Library

GitHub Minimum PHP Version GitHub forks GitHub stars GitHub issues

This project to ease the develop web/printer friendly report in php. After many year development this project is stable and created a lot of web report. You can design your report via jasper report studio (http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jaspersoft-studio) and then use phpjasperxml to render it in php. No javabridge is required at server side. We borrow tcpdf and phpexcel to export our report in pdf/excel. So far it support up to php7.2 (only tested in 7.0, and 7.2)

If export excel is crucial and you required fast export excel engine (phpexcel is painfully slow), you can get commercial driver from:

  1. Cross platform Excel Library (written in c/c++) http://www.libxl.com/
  2. PHP extension to for libxl https://github.com/iliaal/php_excel

Once excel library loaded phpjasperxml should detect it and use that to export excel, the performance will be 6-7x faster!

PHPJasperXML is not complete replacement of jaspersoft, it have some limitation. We'd use it many years and it is proven stable but it is not 100% features ready. There is known issue which is:

  1. Subreport not render perfectly in detail band (Header and Footer I think should be ok), technically it seems very hard to calculate the height of subreport at the same time balance with all others element in same detail band
  2. Some barcode is not supported yet (QR code is supported)
  3. Some situation text might not ablet to vertical align properly due to limitation of tcpdf
  4. There is some others limitation, so far we change our way to accomodate the limitation
  5. PHPJasperXML allow you do once and generate pdf/excel, however it is not suitable to run report with 100 pages long cause the limitation of algorithm.
  6. Best use case of PHPJasperXML is use for design / print document, example Invoice, Purchase Order, Service Order, and etc printable document. Short report run well and allow export excel nicely. Long report you shall use alternative report tool

  4. Finish.

How to Use This Class

  1. You can use iReport to edit the sample1.jrxml, sample2.jrxml and see the effect from web browser.
  2. You can use any text editor to edit sample1.php and sample2.php, you will found that integrate the report into your project is like peanut.
  3. Due to this project still at initial stage, to documentation is ready yet. However for those familiar with PHP and iReport should have no problem for using this class.

  3. Chart support is bad, we need people to help that cause we not use chart in pdf.
