This example shows how to save an exported report on the server side using Stimulsoft Viewer for PHP. First, include the Stimulsoft libraries:

<?php
require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Stimulsoft\Events\StiExportEventArgs;
use Stimulsoft\Report\StiReport;
use Stimulsoft\StiResult;
use Stimulsoft\Viewer\StiViewer;
?>

Next, create a Viewer object and configure JavaScript-related options:

$viewer = new StiViewer();
$viewer->javascript->relativePath = '../';
$viewer->javascript->appendHead('<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">');

Define viewer events before processing. You can assign a PHP function, the name of a JavaScript function, or a JavaScript function as a string. Multiple event handlers can be added using the append() method. In this example, the onEndExportReport event is used to save the exported report on the server:

$viewer->onEndExportReport = function (StiExportEventArgs $args) {
    $reportName = $args->fileName;
    if (substr($reportName, -strlen($args->fileExtension) - 1) !== '.' . $args->fileExtension)
        $reportName .= '.' . $args->fileExtension;

    $reportPath = "../reports/$reportName";
    file_put_contents($reportPath, base64_decode($args->data));

    return StiResult::getSuccess("The exported report has been successfully saved to '$reportPath' file.");
};

Process the request on the server side using process():

$viewer->handler->process();

Create a report object and load a report template. The loadFile() method does not load the report on the server side; it only generates JavaScript code for the client side:

$report = new StiReport();
$report->loadFile('../reports/SimpleList.mrt');

Assign the report to the viewer:

$viewer->report = $report;

Finally, render the viewer as a complete HTML page using printHtml():

$viewer->printHtml();

In the screenshot below you can see the result of the sample code:
