We have created many Crystal Reports and want to be able to have the users dynamically run them from the Intranet without having CR on their desktop, or CR server. Currently we are useing CR version 9 and have to export the reports to the webserver. Can we use PHP to let the users dynamically run the reports?

Can Crystal Reports 9 be invoked from the command-line and accept command-line attributes?

As I see it, you will need to be able to have PHP invoke CR and have it run the reports. PHP can't interact with the desktop, so your scripts will have to work across the command-line.
