Code to display a html table of results

[jweissig]

Hello,

This is more of a request for code than a problem. I have a fairly large database (350,000 records) and I am in the process of creating a php front end for manipulating the information.

What classes/code exists that will allow me to generate a html table of results that has the following functionality.

• Paging (next/prev buttons)
• Sort (ascending/descending per column)
• Filtering (possible select box to filter information)

I could create this, but this seams like a pretty standard requirement, what are you using?

Thanks,
- Justin

Hi,

I code it as I go since, as you said, it is pretty standard stuff, and you need to think too much when you alter an existing code. It goes quicker to write it from scratch.

Yeah, I do agree. I downloaded some sample code that I was thinking of modding for what I wanted but then I have to make all these changes.

• integrate the database calls with my database layer
• mod the output to work with my template layer
• add some security and sessions information

all and all, I think I will just re-write the entire class. But I think there are a couple functions that I can use.
