Rein Raus

I’ve been looking at a number of reporting solutions for PHP only to be continually disappointed by the effort involved in using them.  Today, while trying to resolve some quirk with SSRS for something completely unrelated, I stumbled upon a project on CodePlex allowing you to integrate SSRS into PHP.  The cleverly named SSRS SDK for PHP can be found here: http://ssrsphp.codeplex.com.

I know the vast majority of PHP sites are probably running on Linux but I was very surprised to see what little traffic this SDK has attracted.  Anytime I can do something (such as create a report) via Visual Studio or some derivative, nothing else compares, and because of that SSRS wins hands down.
