Be sure to replace user and pass with your Monetization username and password, respectively. Note: The below code examples have been tested in PHP 5 only. For compatibility with other PHP versions, some modifications may be required. 1. **Reportlist Function Example**This code example will retrieve a list of all generated reports and their statuses, using the API function reportlist. **\<**?php **// define credentials$username** **=** **"user";$password** **=** **"pass";$api\_key** **=** **"key";// define settings$start** **=** **"0";** **// Report record to start from$number** **=** **"10";** **// How many report records to show## Get a list of previously generated reports, using API function reportlist#// create query URL, correctly URL encoded -- It is best to urlencode all values, just in case$query\_url** **=** **"https://www.above.com/api.php?username="** **.** **urlencode($username) .** **"&password="** **.** **urlencode($password) .**        **"&api\_key="** **.** **urlencode($key) .** **"&mode=reportlist&start="** **.** **urlencode($start) ."&num="** **.** **urlencode($number);// attempt connection and to put response into variable $res$res** **=** **file\_get\_contents($query\_url);// if connection was successfulif($res) {**   **// parse XML results**   **// put response in XML object $results**   **$results** **=** **simplexml\_load\_string($res);** **// you could also use a regex to get data, but this way is neater**   **// check for error**   **if($results-\>**error**) {**      **// if there was an error, get reason and display**      **$error\_attributes** **=** **$results-\>**error**-\>attributes();**      **// display error**      **echo** **"Error: "** **.** **$error\_attributes-\>**error**;**   **}** **elseif($results-\>**getName() == **"results") {** **// if there was NOT an error**      **// get list**      **foreach($results-\>result** **as** **$result){**        **// get attributes of each result**        **$result\_attributes** **=** **$result-\>attributes();**        **// print report details**        **echo** **"Report ID: "** **.** **$result\_attributes\['reportid'\]** **.** **", Generated: "** **.** **$result\_attributes\['generated'\]** **.**            **", Status: "** **.** **$result\_attributes\['status'\]** **.** **"\\n";**      **}**      **// end get list**   **}}** **else** **{** **// if there was a connection error**   **// print error**   **echo** **"Connection error!";}**?**\>** 2. **Fetch Function Example**This code example will retrieve a generated report, using the API function fetch. **\<**? **// define credentials$username** **=** **"user";$password** **=** **"pass";$api\_key** **=** **"key";// define settings$reportid** **=** **"12345";** **// ID of the report to fetch$start** **=** **"0";** **// Report record to start from$number** **=** **"20";** **// How many report records to show## Get a list of previously generated reports, using API function reportlist#// create query URL, correctly URL encoded -- It is best to urlencode all values, just in case$query\_url** **=** **"https://www.above.com/api.php?username="** **.** **urlencode($username) .** **"&password="** **.** **urlencode($password) .**        **"&api\_key="** **.** **urlencode($key) .** **"&mode=fetch&reportid="** **.** **urlencode($reportid) .** **"&start="** **.** **urlencode($start) .**        **"&num="** **.** **urlencode($number);// attempt connection and to put response into variable $res$res** **=** **file\_get\_contents($query\_url);// if connection was successfulif($res) {**   **// parse XML results**   **// put response in XML object $results**   **$results** **=** **simplexml\_load\_string($res);** **// you could also use a regex to get data, but this way is neater**   **// check if any children exist for \ -- which indicates report is not returned**   **if(** **count($results-\>**children()**)** != 0 **) {**     **// check for error**     **if($results-\>**error**) {**        **// if there was an error, get reason and display**        **$error\_attributes** **=** **$results-\>**error**-\>attributes();**        **// display error**        **echo** **"Error: "** **.** **$error\_attributes-\>**error**;**     **}** **elseif($results-\>**getName() == **"results") {** **// no error, but status returned**          **// get status of report**          **$status** **=** **$result-\>attributes();**          **if($status\['status'\]** == **"Generating") {**            **// show status**            **echo** **"Report is currently generating -
