This example shows how to save a dashboard template from the Designer in Stimulsoft PHP. First, include the necessary libraries:

<?php
require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Stimulsoft\Designer\StiDesigner;
use Stimulsoft\Events\StiReportEventArgs;
use Stimulsoft\Report\StiReport;
use Stimulsoft\StiResult;
?>

Create the Designer object and set JavaScript options:

$designer = new StiDesigner();
$designer->javascript->relativePath = '../';
$designer->javascript->appendHead()('<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">');

Define the Designer event to handle saving dashboards. The onSaveReport event receives StiReportEventArgs as a parameter. Inside, you can get the file name, save the dashboard JSON, and return success or error with StiResult::getSuccess() or StiResult::getError():

$designer->onSaveReport = function (StiReportEventArgs $args) {
    $reportFileName = strlen($args->fileName) > 0 ? $args->fileName : 'Dashboard.mrt';
    if (strlen($reportFileName) < 5 || substr($reportFileName, -4) !== '.mrt')
        $reportFileName .= '.mrt';

    $reportPath = "../reports/$reportFileName";
    $result = file_put_contents($reportPath, $args->getReportJson()());

    if ($result === false)
        return StiResult::getError('An error occurred while saving the report file on the server side.');
    return StiResult::getSuccess("The dashboard has been successfully saved to '$reportPath' file.");
};

Process requests using the process() method:

$designer->process();

Create a report object and load a dashboard template with loadFile():

$report = new StiReport();
$report->loadFile()('../reports/Christmas.mrt');
$designer->report = $report;

Finally, render the visual HTML part of the Designer with printHtml():

$designer->printHtml();

In the screenshot below you can see the result of the sample code:
