Notes:

• PHPJasper Can be used regardless of your PHP Framework
• For PHP versions less than 7.0 see: v1.16
• Here are several examples of how to use PHPJasper

Why PHPJasper?

Did you ever had to create a good looking Invoice with a lot of fields for your great web app?

I had to, and the solutions out there were not perfect. Generating HTML + CSS to make a PDF? That doesn't make any sense! :)

Then I found JasperReports the best open source solution for reporting.

What can I do with this?

Well, everything. JasperReports is a powerful tool for reporting and BI.

From their website:

The JasperReports Library is the world's most popular open source reporting engine. It is entirely written in Java and it is able to use data coming from any kind of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, OpenOffice and Word.

It is recommended using Jaspersoft Studio to build your reports, connect it to your datasource (ex: MySQL, POSTGRES), loop thru the results and output it to PDF, XLS, DOC, RTF, ODF, etc.

Some examples of what you can do:

• Invoices
• Reports
• Listings

Requirements

• PHP 7.2 or above
• Java JDK 1.8

Optional

• Any jdbc drivers to generate reports from a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL...), must be copied to a folder bin/jasperstarter/jdbc
• We ship the PostgreSQL (42.2.9) in the bin/jasperstarter/jdbc directory.
• We ship the MySQL connector (v5.1.48) in the bin/jasperstarter/jdbc directory.
• Microsoft JDBC Drivers SQL Server .
• Jaspersoft Studio (to draw your reports).

Installation

Install Composer if you don't have it.

Or in your file'composer.json' add:

And the just run:

composer install

and thats it.

PHPJasper with Docker

With Docker CE and docker-compose installed just run:

• docker-compose up -d
• docker exec -it phpjasper composer install

To execute tests:

• docker exec -it phpjasper sudo composer test or
• docker exec -it phpjasper sudo composer testdox

To see coverage manually of tests, execute the file: tests/log/report/index.html

Help us writing new tests, make a fork :)

Examples

The Hello World example.

Go to the examples directory in the root of the repository (vendor/geekcom/phpjasper/examples). Open the hello_world.jrxml file with Jaspersoft Studio or with your favorite text editor and take a look at the source code.

Compiling

First we need to compile our JRXML file into a JASPER binary file. We just have to do this one time.

Note 1: You don't need to do this step if you are using Jaspersoft Studio. You can compile directly within the program.

This commando will compile the hello_world.jrxml source file to a hello_world.jasper file.

Processing

Now lets process the report that we compile before:

Now check the examples folder! :) Great right? You now have 2 files, hello_world.pdf and hello_world.rtf.

Check the methods compile and process in src/JasperPHP.php for more details

Listing Parameters

Querying the jasper file to examine parameters available in the given jasper report file:

Using database to generate reports

We can also specify parameters for connecting to database:

Note 2:

Using MSSQL DataBase

Reports from a XML

Reports from a JSON

Performance

Depends on the complexity, amount of data and the resources of your machine (let me know your use case).

I have a report that generates a Invoice with a DB connection, images and multiple pages and it takes about 3/4 seconds to process. I suggest that you use a worker to generate the reports in the background.
