Peter,

if you only want to generate reports then you might be better off  
using something like JasperReport with JasperServer.
Reporting to PDF, excel etc html comes out of the box and you will get  
a VERY neat report generation tool (iReport). It's all open source.

If the client is concerned with a nice look and feel you could use  
TYPO3 on the frontend and callup JasperServer using a report links, to  
generate the report.
