We have quite a complex product all written in PHP and our own mySQL wrapper. We initially wanted to use smarty, but due to time constraints, we couldn't re-write everything, so it never got implemented. Two feature requests we get a lot are the ability to sort the tabular data by column heading (click once for ascending and again for descending) and the second is pagination. I'd say I was expert level PHP coder. Can anyone suggest some code to handle this kind of thing before I go re-inventing the wheel? Something I can relatively easily retrofit into our existing code. I'm trying to avoid re-writing everything to conform to some new format or template or what have you. Maybe there's a PEAR class? I'd say a good percentage (maybe 1/2) pull from the DB and generate the rows on the fly that way. We've tried to migrate towards generating an array and then iterating through that (separating presentation and logic), but for some of our data, there's just so much it's not feasible, sometimes time is a factor or else the pages are just legacy. So, ideally the solution should handle both kinds of tables. Our tables use our own style sheet. They have a roll-over tool tip for the headings. They use alternating colors for the rows, with highlighting for the row your mouse is on. Probably pretty standard fare. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
