Hello,
I am wanting a "pretty output" of tabular data generated on the fly and saved in an array (PHP)...
That is, I have a link so users can chart (JpGraph) and download (CSV) tabular data, based on their selections on a query web page and using PHP, etc to pull the data out of a PostgreSQL database.
I have been requested to make ('on the fly') a 'reporting quality' version of the CSV available for download - sort of like you might get out of a report in MS Access, with say a summary at the end of the number of results, summary statistics, etc, etc.
I was seeking suggestions on software and/or approaches on how to format the data and make into, say, a 'pretty' PDF 'on the fly' that the user can download directly.
(i.e., the CSV is for the more technical users useage (sic), the 'static' PDF 'report' would be more for the manager types...)
The web server is on a Windoze OS, IIS.
I have Acrobat, MS Access, Excel, Word, PostgreSQL, etc, etc on the data/web server also if that is of any use.
I have never used Crystal Reports - but I kind of see this functionality being a web version of that?
Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggested approaches.
Regards & TIA,
GREG

If you are pulling the data out of the database can't you prepare the data in html tables and style them (css) at the same time, with a print media css file? So before you convert to pdf you will have something 'pretty'.
If you are storing in an array or extracting you can still store or exhibit the data as html tables with in-line styling. hth
Thank you both... this is my first web site, and so still learning this stuff... will follow up your suggestions and links now! :-)

I set <%@ Page Language = "vb" ... Trace="true" %> when doing a sing along with the Course 2310B textbook. The book says the trace output will be shown at the bottom of the web page. The result I get is that the trace output overwrites the controls on the web page.
Question: How can I make the trace output start at the bottom of the page?

Hi everybody!
I'm creating a very simple VB .NET application that needs to launch the

At the moment I'm redirecting ML's output to a text file and then my app

Is it possible to redirect ML's output as VS does, I mean the output given
line by line as if it was in a console window? A practical example is given

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
