$viewer = new StiViewer();
$viewer->javascript->relativePath = '../';
$viewer->onEndExportReport = function (StiExportEventArgs $args) {
$reportName = $args->fileName . '.' . $args->fileExtension;
file_put_contents("../reports/$reportName", base64_decode($args->data));

$viewer->handler->process();
$viewer->report = $report;onEndExportReport— fires server-side after an export;$args->dataholds the base64-encoded file.base64_decode($args->data)+file_put_contents— write the exported document to disk.StiResult::getSuccess/getError— return a message shown to the user after saving.
