Class for creating HTML tables

, _(*1)

CHTMLTable

CHTMLTable is a general PHP class used for creating simple html tables.Specifically written for Anax-MVC but can also be modified and used as a standalone class., _(*2)

Installation

To install CHTMTable you need to add this snippet of code to your composer.json file., _(*3)

  "require": {
        "php": ">=5.4",
        "paikz/chtmltable": "dev-master"
    },

Run this command in your Anax-MVC installation folder:, _(*4)

php composer.phar install --no-dev

Assuming you have a clean installation of Anax-MVC you need to move the HTMLTable folder in vendor/paikz/chtmltable/src into app/src in your Anax-installation folder., _(*5)

You can then move the test file from vendor/paikz/chtmltable/webroot into your Anax webroot. The test file is a very basic example of how a html table created with CHTMLTable can look like., _(*6)

How to use

Creating a table is very easy. The method createTable($tableName, $tableHeaders, $tableData) takes three parameters., _(*7)

$tableName represents the name of the table. Commonly used for styling purposes., _(*8)

$tableHeaders represents the content of the table header-tags <th></th>., _(*9)

$tableData represents the content of the table data-tags <td></td>., _(*10)

Both $tableHeaders and $tableData are multidimensional arrays. It is very easy to create tables with fetched statements from a database with PDO. Just fetch an array and send it in $tableData., _(*11)

A very simple example taken from the test file looks like this., _(*12)

$table = $app->table->createTable(

  "testTable",

  [
    [
      'label' => 'Name',
    ],
    [
      'label' => 'Age',
    ],
    [
      'label' => 'Email',
    ],
  ],

  [
    [
      'name' => 'Philip Esmailzade',
      'age' => '19',
      'email' => 'test123@test.com',
    ],

    [
      'name' => 'test',
      'age' => '99',
      'email' => 'test321@test.com',
    ],
  ]

);
