This example shows how to export a report from code using Stimulsoft Reports for PHP. First, you need to include the Stimulsoft libraries:

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

use Stimulsoft\Enums\StiHtmlMode;
use Stimulsoft\Export\Enums\StiExportFormat;
use Stimulsoft\Report\StiReport;
?>

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

$report = new StiReport();
$report->javascript->relativePath = '../';

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

$report->process();

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

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

Call the report build using render(). This generates JavaScript code that will render the report in the browser:

$report->render();

Render the necessary JavaScript code of the report engine using renderHtml():

<?php
$report->javascript->renderHtml();
?>

Define JavaScript functions to export the report to different formats. Use the exportDocument() method to generate JavaScript code for exporting, and getHtml() with StiHtmlMode::Scripts to render the scripts:

<script type="text/javascript">

function exportToPdf() {
    <?php
    $report->exportDocument(StiExportFormat::Pdf);
    echo $report->getHtml(StiHtmlMode::Scripts);
    ?>
}

function exportToExcel() {
    <?php
    $report->exportDocument(StiExportFormat::Excel);
    echo $report->getHtml(StiHtmlMode::Scripts);
    ?>
}

function exportToHtml() {
    <?php
    $report->exportDocument(StiExportFormat::Html);
    echo $report->getHtml(StiHtmlMode::Scripts);
    ?>
}

</script>

Finally, render the HTML page with buttons to trigger export to PDF, Excel, and HTML:

<h2>Exporting a Report from Code</h2>
<hr>
<button onclick="exportToPdf();">Export Report to PDF</button>
<br><br>
<button onclick="exportToExcel();">Export Report to Excel</button>
<br><br>
<button onclick="exportToHtml();">Export Report to HTML</button>
