How to include in koolreport

What if I have set koolreport real path in: /Libraries/koolreport/

How to configure if I would like to make a report by: /index.php

And if I make a folder like /Libraries/koolreport/myreports/ is it possible to include a report in a root file like in: /index.php

It does not matter, you can put the "koolreports" library anywhere, creating your reports anywhere and include those reports from anywhere.

Could you please show me an example ? I tried but it give me errors, probably due to path and namespace misconfiguration.

Say for example I would like to include one of the examples in

/index.php

And this is the start content of your database_connection basic example located at:

/Libraries/koolreport/examples/reports/basic/database_connection

<?php 

require_once "SakilaRental.php";
$report = new SakilaRental;
$report->run();
?>

It should be

<?php
require_once "Libraries/koolreport/examples/reports/basic/database_connection/SakilaRental.php";
$report = new SakilaRental;
$report->run()->render();
...

Like this it fails to load "autoload.php" because the path is relative, maybe I've to change ... but tried many and none works ! (I'm under Windows enviroment)

Could you help me solve this please ?

Hi Richi,

In your report class, e.g koolreport/myreports/myreport1.php, did you include a relative path to KoolReport/autoload.php? Thanks!

I'm using the original code by one of yours examples, then the path is already:

require_once "../../../../koolreport/autoload.php";

where the examples are located at:

localhost/Private/koolreport/examples/reports/basic/database_connection_sqlsrv/index.php

And I would like to solve in one of these ways:

1) Move my code/example to root

2) Include the example index.php in one root php file

Hi Richi,

If your folder for koolreport is /Libraries/koolreport/ and your report class files are in /Libraries/koolreport/myreports/, says /Libraries/koolreport/myreports/myreport1.php then in the file report1.php you should include the following path:

require_once "../../autoload.php";
...

And if your index.php is in the root folder (i.e the same level with Libraries) then you should include the following path in index.php:

require_once "Libraries/koolreport/myreports/myreport1.php";
...

Please let us know if it solves your problem. Thanks!
