Answer 1

There are tons of reporting libraries, most of which create Xml or Csv. You would have to give more data about what kind of reporting you need for a recommendation. I haven't used PHPExcel yet, but it is the first attempt I have seen to actually create Excel documents rather than creating CSV's that will load in Excel. PDF creation is built into PHP with the PDF functions, and is fairly easy to do.

[UPDATE]

PHPExcel is archived now you can use PhpSpreadsheet instead.

Answer 2

I Think PHP Report Maker is ther best php Reporting Tool's but it is not free or open source.
