Hello,
It is not still working as indicated so I decided to provide the database script and the koolreport script used for your testing and final advice. 
Database scrript
CREATE DATABASE employee_data ;
CREATE TABLE employee (
    employee_id serial primary key,
    employee_name character varying(100),
    employee_number character varying(100),
    employee_type character varying(50)
);
INSERT INTO employee VALUES ( 'Desmond', '001', 'Permanent');
INSERT INTO employee (employee_name,employee_number,employee_type)  VALUES ( 'Desmond', '001', 'Permanent'), ( 'Daniel', '002', 'Permanent'), ( 'Victoria', '003', 'Permanent'),( 'Freda', '004', 'Temporary');
CREATE TABLE script_data (
    script_data_id serial primary key,
    script_header1 character varying(255),
    script_header2 character varying(100),
    script_sql text,
    query_array text
);
INSERT INTO script_data (script_header1,script_header2,script_sql,query_array)   VALUES ('Employee List', 'List of Employed Persons', 'Select employee_name,employee_number,employee_type from employee', ' "employee_name"=>array("label"="Employee Name","type"=>"string"),"employee_number"=>array("label"="Employee No","type"=>"string"),
"employee_type"=>array("label"="Employee Type","type"=>"string") ');INSERT INTO script_data (script_header1,script_header2,script_sql,query_array)  
VALUES ('Employee By Type', 'Employee categorisation', 'Select employee_type,count(*) as no_employees from employee group by employee_type', ' array( "employee_type"=>array( "label"=>"Employee Type","type"=>"string"), "no_employees"=>array( "label"=>"No of Employee", "type"=>"number", "footer"=>"count", "footerText"=>"count: @value", "cssStyle"=>"text=align:right"))';
Within KookReport.php a class variable was added 
public $query_string;
setup function was modified to
	public function setup($query_string)
	{
		//This function will be override by decendant to define
		//how data will be executed.
	}
Index.php
<?php 
$conn = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=employee user=postgres password=''");

    die("Connection failed: ");
} 
// sql script to perform query
$sql = 'SELECT * from script_data where script_data_id =1 ';
		
$query = pg_query($conn, $sql);
if (!$query) {
	die ('SQL Error:');
}
		while ($row = pg_fetch_array($query))
		{
			
				$script_header1=$row['script_header1'];
				$script_header2=$row['script_header2'];
				$script_sql=$row['script_sql'];
