I've the following coding in php file and would like to open the BIRT report and pass parameter via php but I got the error(see attached); I can run this report in ECLIPSE Java EE's Report Designer via Run report in web viewer without any problems, I can also copy the link from address bar to another computer and run this report without any problems, so the problem is, I cannot run parameter to the report via PHP?

Have you tried this with a report that doesn't have a parameter and creating a URL without a parameter?

I'm not a PHP expert but the first thing I see that could be the issue is how you are referencing the report itself. You are passing an absolute path with a windows drive letter.
Does the tomcat on rchk.group.local have accesses to the report design in that absolute path?

thanks for the reply and I get the problem fixed by following this articles http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/245115/Integrating-BIRT-reports-with-PHP-Web-sites, one thing would like to clarify is the path of report in $fname should be in full path except the drive letter i.e. the report you put in C:\XAMPP\TOMCAT\webapps\birt-viewer then you have to change it to /XAMPP/TOMCAT/webapps/birt-viewer instead.
