Hello,
Has anyone in the CC community written a reporting module? Any other recommendations? Please, no Crystal Reports for the web. It's difficult to implement and their support is just as bad.
Thanks for the help!

You could use ActiveReports 2. Is very easy to use on a webserver, has an OCX which can be embedded in ASP as an object. I worked this out myself for a planning tool. You should built an ASP module which calls a DLL with the reports in it. If you need any further help, please let me know.

Any suggestions on including the Active Reports in PHP?

I have researched this until I am blue in the face and found the K.I.S.S. approach is the best - screw Crystal - Cost and an interface that stopped even Microsoft from buying the company.
Firstly, have a serious look at what Microsoft have done with recent versions of MS Access and the support for Stored Procedures, etc. It already exports a snapshot viewer, Rtf and excel. It is easy to program - even for end users - need I go on.
It will even front end MySQL, SQL Server Oracle, etc.
Now for the free steak knives.
Check out www.rtpsoftware.com for $99 and you will know where I am heading.
Sorry - no php - check out apache reports.
Hope this helps.
Edd
P.S. And no - I am not a salesman - I just think that the product is excellent value for money.

This is not for your heavy sites but - it gets you thought the initial stage.
