Integrate the report into a PHP application

You created a data source and at least one report design document. You can now add the necessary code to launch the report from a PHP application.

1. If your data source needs to connect to a database, you need to establish the database connection.
2. Configure the report.

   In this example, the report is configured to be output to PDF.

   // Configure the report
   $greRunnerObj = new FourjsReportRuntime($reportDesignFileName,"OrderReport\OrderReport");
   $greRunnerObj->configureDistributedProcessing("127.0.0.1",7000);
   $greRunnerObj->selectDevice('PDF');
   $greRunnerObj->selectPreview(false);
   $greRunnerObj->setOutputFileName($reportFileName);

3. Instantiate the data source object from the data source library.

   // Run the report
   $reportData = new OrderReport\OrderReport($connection);

4. Pass the object to the report engine for processing.

   $greRunnerObj->run($reportData->getMasterRecord());
