This commit expands report generation capabilities to Customer Service (CS) role
and refactors the report system for better maintainability and PDF support.
Changes Summary:
Access Control:
- Extended report access from Lab, Admin, Superuser to include CS role (filter: 0,1,2,4)
- Removed separate CS-only print routes, consolidated into unified report routes
- Routes now support /report/:num, /report/:num/eng, /report/:num/print, /report/:num/print/eng
Controller Refactoring (ReportController):
- Refactored generate() and print() methods to share common renderReport() logic
- Removed separate preview() method - preview now handled via preview parameter
- Added ispdf parameter support for PDF generation mode
- Print functionality now logs audit events to AUDIT_REQUESTS table
Database Queries (ReportHelper):
- Improved SQL queries with explicit aliases for better readability and maintainability
- Fixed date formatting issue: changed date_format() to date() with strtotime()
- Added getValData() method to retrieve validation user information (VAL1USER, VAL2USER)
- Added null coalescing operators (?? '') for safer array access
View Updates (report/template.php):
- Conditional CSS loading: uses pdf.css when ispdf=1, otherwise style.css
- Removed "PREVIEW ONLY - DO NOT PRINT" watermark
- Conditional header/footer images - only display when generating PDF
- Added validation user display: "Val1 By : {user} | Val2 By : {user}"
- Replaced signature placeholder with "This result is valid without signature" statement
- Improved footer layout spacing
Styling Adjustments (public/assets/report/style.css):
- Adjusted margins for better print layout: dinfo (2cm), dresult (17.5cm), footer (2cm)
- Increased footer width from 17cm to 18cm
- Added responsive image classes: .img and .img-footer with max-width: 100%
- Set footer image max-height to 2.5cm
Security:
- Maintained role-based access control with proper authentication checks
- All database queries use parameterized statements (no interpolation)
- Print actions still logged to AUDIT_REQUESTS for audit trail

Important Change with index.php
index.php is no longer in the root of the project! It has been moved inside the public folder,
for better security and separation of components.
This means that you should configure your web server to "point" to your project's public folder, and not to the project root. A better practice would be to configure a virtual host to point there. A poor practice would be to point your web server to the project root and expect to enter public/..., as the rest of your logic and the framework are exposed.
Please read the user guide for a better explanation of how CI4 works!
