Because MySQL is such a popular database, I thought it would be a great data source to use as an illustration. This will also refresh your memory on how to set MySQL up for remote connections.

Create the PHP file to display the report on screen. You will need to connect to the database, then retrieve, format and display the fields if you use dynamic data in your report.

I want to show you how to install and use DBeaver to connect to your remote MySQL server. DBeaver is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
