Starting in 2019, the Reporting control is no longer included in Essential Studio. If you're experiencing issues with the Syncfusion Reporting Platform, Report Viewer, Report Designer, or Report Writer, we recommend migrating to Bold Reports, our dedicated reporting platform.

Bold Reports offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features for all your reporting needs, and we will help you make a smooth transition from the discontinued control. Our support team at https://support.boldreports.com/ is here to assist you with any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the migration process.

We thank you for choosing Syncfusion and appreciate your understanding.

PHP

Hello, can the reportviewer be used with PHP? I'm developing an AngularJS app and we would like to use this control. Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance!

Hi Javier,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

You can able to render ReportViewer control in PHP and we are using WebAPI to process the report, so we have to provide the WebAPI service to process the report. We have prepared the sample and it can be downloaded from below location.

Thanks a lot for this example. It is very helpful. I have noticed that it still uses asp. Is there a way to do it in PHP? Something like this:

$scope.samplevalue = 'php/getlist.php/list/1';
$scope.path = 'reps/catlists.rdl';
$scope.mode = ej.ReportViewer.ProcessingMode.Local;
$scope.Reportdatasources = getDatasource();

function getDatasource() {
return [{
value: [
{
object1}, {object2}, {object3},
        ],
name: "DataSet1"
}]
}
Thanks again for your help!

Hello Soundara,

Excellent example it is very useful. I'm really sorry to boder you again with this bust I keep noticing the line $scope.samplevalue = 'http://ssrs.syncfusion.com/ReportingWebAPIService/api/SSRSReport'; is using ASP. The API is .Net, right? Is there a way to use PHP instead of ASP? I tried but in the browsers console I got the error :

angular.min.js:107 TypeError: Cannot read property 'selectItemsByIndices' of undefined

Is it because my backend is PHP?

Yes, we have created the shared WebAPI service link using ASP.Net WebAPI. We can consume the WebAPI service using PHP to render the report, but we could not use WebAPI in PHP.
I tried but in the browsers console I got the error :

We are unable to reproduce the mentioned issue and it’s working fine at our end. The issue might have occurred while rendering the toolbar control within the ReportViewer. So, share the reproducible sample with ej.web.all.min.js script and CSS files used in your application to validate the mentioned issue at our end.

Hello,If create one empty jquery object,then this similar problem will occur at this time.
for example:
$("<div />").ejReportViewer().appendTo("body");

ej.web.all.min.js:10 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'clientHeight' of null at Object._renderViewer (ej.web.all.min.js:10) at Object._init (ej.web.all.min.js:10) at new <anonymous> (ej.web.all.min.js:10) at w.fn.init.n.fn.(anonymous function) [as ejReportViewer] (http://localhost:8080/ej/web/ej.web.all.min.js:10:24081) at Object.<anonymous> (app.ts:18) at Object.execCb (require.js:1696) at Module.check (require.js:883) at Module.<anonymous> (require.js:1139) at require.js:134 at require.js:1189

If me dynamic create one ejDialog and content is ejReportViewer,then this problem will happen at this time.
I think the reason is div has't in current html page,but some calculte logic is need,so is error.

Hi Li, 
 
We have checked the mentioned problem by initializing the ReportViewer component and its working properly at our end. On further analysis of the shared code snippet it seems to be the ReportViewer is not initialized in PHP platform. So can you please confirm your platform used to initialize the ReportViewer and also share the ReportViewer initialization page which would be helpful for us to validate the mentioned problem at our end.

Hello, I has't PHP development environment.
If you think reproduce the problem,you only need one html file.Add some javascript code in startup script.

for example.
$("<div />").ejReportViewer().appendTo("body");

Or you can dynamic create one ejDialog,it content is ejReportViewer(it is dynamic created).

summary dynamic create one ejReportViewer and appendTo current html page,can reproduce the problem.



MM Mageshyadav M Syncfusion Team September 18, 2018 01:59 PM UTC

Hi Li, 
 
On further analysis of the shared code example, you have initialized the ReportViewer control to the dynamic creating div element before appending to the body tag or any root element. So can you please initialize the ReportViewer control to div element after appending to the body tag and also specify the ID for dynamically created div element as shown in below code example to avoid the mentioned problem at your end, 
 
 
$("<div id='test'/>").css({ height: "600px", width: "950px" }).appendTo("body").ejReportViewer();

Mageshyadav.M
