<i>Brian Swan</i> has a new post to his MSDN blog today that looks at <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_swan/archive/2010/05/04/getting-started-with-sql-server-reporting-services-ssrs-and-php.aspx">working with the SQL Server Reporting Services SDK</a> and PHP to automatically create some reports based on the date in your database.
</p>
<blockquote>
In this post I'll dive into the SSRS SDK for PHP that was recently released by the Interoperability team here at Microsoft. [...] The documentation in the SDK is complete with explanations for the classes that make up the SDK, code examples, and a "hello world" example. However, in this post, I'll build a simple web page (code attached to this post) that renders the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_swan/archive/2010/04/29/getting-started-with-sql-server-reporting-services-ssrs.aspx">Sales report that I created last week</a>.
</blockquote>
<p>
He starts off with an overview of how all of the technology will fit together and some of the things you'll need to have before you can get started - a user with the right permissions and a connection to the server. The "SSRSReport" class in the SDK gives you quick access to load a report based on a named location. You can then use methods like "RenderAsHTML" to output it as HTML or one of other methods (like CSV, text, PDF, etc).
