Demographics reports...

[Stevens]

Folks,

Has anyone had any experience with creating reports with PHP and MySQL? I need to whoop up a user-demographics report to support advertising solicitation. I'd like to create a report and somehow get the info organized properly, but I actuall have NO idea where to even start...

First of all you need the statistics, how do you collect them?

[Stevens]

I'll have them in a table that is inputed by users on a newsletter request form. I have name, gender, location, age, and frequency of nightlife excursions per week...

Oh, okay, so what do you need to know? If you already have the database you'd just need to print out the information like any other page.

I just want to know if I have to manually create any documents. I'd like to be able to jut print a report that would be already formatted and would reflect the most current statistics. I hate to bring up MS, but Access has built in reporting tools that are all inclusive to the program itself. I wasn't sure if there were report template files that php could submit to or something that would make organizing so much data and computations a bit easier and quicker...

[Stevens]

I think I see what you are saying...

I'll give it a shot...
