Web-based reporting tool?

Question

For Windows application, we have been using tools like Crystal Report to generate reports with page / group headers footers.

Is there any equivalence for Web application (for example, a PHP application)? We have been outputting our results in HTML format and the users have to print them out by using browser's "File .. Print" feature. As a result, we are not able to determine the page size and it's not possible to produce a nice report with repeating page headers, fixed width, etc.

I'd appreciate it if you could tell me a way to do it. Something like "Crystal Report for the web application". Thanks.

Enterprise Web reporting tools, or Web-based reporting systems, allow companies and organizations to gain a better understanding of all of their business by putting critical information in the hands of all those who need it – employees, managers, partners, and customers. A true enterprise reporting tool must be capable of accessing all of the information assets in the enterprise and it must support wide-scale deployment – potentially hundreds or even thousands of users – not just a handful of power users.
