Simple PHP/MySQL example
I am not expert in PHP so please correct me if there is something stupid in this code -
<?php
$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
$query = 'SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT 0,10';
$dataset = @mysql_query($query, $connection);
function aw_cells($dataset){
$recordSeparator = "";
echo "[\n";
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_array($dataset)) {
echo $recordSeparator;
$cellSeparator = "";
echo "\t[";
foreach ($record as $value){
echo $cellSeparator."\"".$value."\"";
$cellSeparator = ",";
}
echo "]";
$recordSeparator = ",\n";
}
echo "\n];\n";
}
function aw_headers($dataset){
$cellSeparator = "";
echo "[\n";
while ($field = @mysql_fetch_field($dataset)) {
echo $cellSeparator."\"".$field->name."\"";
$cellSeparator = ",";
}
echo "\n];\n";
}
?>

The code is just fine Alex, but I condensed it to show a little better for some maybe? Some maybe not. None the less, here it is.
<?php
$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
@mysql_select_db('DBName',$connection);
$query = 'SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT 0,10';
$dataset = @mysql_query($query, $connection);
function aw_cells($dataset){
$rows = array();
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_array($dataset)) {
$cols = array();
foreach ($record as $value)
$cols[] = '"'.addslashes($value).'"';
$rows[] = "\t[".implode(",",$cols)."],\n";
}
echo "[\n".implode(",\n",$rows)."\n];\n";
}
function aw_headers($dataset){
while ($field = @mysql_fetch_field($dataset))
$cols[] = '"'.$field->name.'"';
echo "[".implode(",",$cols)."];\n";
}
?>

I found that this script duplicates values in myData.
To solve that:
instead of
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_array($dataset)) {
i used this
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_row($dataset)) {
and it works now

Tony and joakinen, thank you for the corrections - I knew it could be improved :-) !
Here is the complete sample again -
<?php
$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password');
@mysql_select_db('database', $connection);
$query = 'SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT 0,10';
$dataset = @mysql_query($query, $connection);
function aw_cells($dataset){
$rows = array();
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_row($dataset)) {
$cols = array();
foreach ($record as $value) {
$cols[] = '"'.addslashes($value).'"';
}
$rows[] = "\t[".implode(",", $cols)."]";
}
echo "[\n".implode(",\n",$rows)."\n];\n";
}
function aw_headers($dataset){
while ($field = @mysql_fetch_field($dataset)) {
$cols[] = '"'.$field->name.'"';
}
echo "[".implode(",",$cols)."];\n";
}
?>

<script src="../../runtime/lib/aw.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var myHeaders = <?= aw_headers($dataset) ?>
var myCells = <?= aw_cells($dataset) ?>
var obj = new AW.UI.Grid;
obj.setHeaderText(myHeaders);
obj.setCellText(myCells);
obj.setColumnCount(myHeaders.length);
obj.setRowCount(myCells.length);
document.write(obj);
</script>
</body>

Oh, yeah, I didn't test the code. I only shrunk it. Actually you could also use mysql_fetch_assoc and acheive the same results. The problem with mysql_fetch_array is that you get the indexes as numbers and associate array indexes so you get the same number of rows. Just twice as many columns.

I find it much easier to just consider my data and my widget separate.
use XML to present your fetch up and load it into the widget using the AW Table object.
Of course I have working with XUL for the past year and that may play into my view of how to go about doing this.

Try looking at the HTML source of the "blank" page or the Javascript Console (if you use Firefox) to start looking for the error.
Mira el codigo fuente HTML de la página que parece estar en blanco, o la consola de Javascript para ver si hay algún error.

Probé el código y funciona, verifica que la conexión a la base de datos sea la correcta, host, user y password y tambien tu sentencia SQL, el asunto de la consola es buena idea y en el código HTML en teoria deberías tener la variable myCells (a parte de otra bola de cosas) con los datos que has obtenido de tu consulta, en mi prueba se ve así:
...
var myCells = [
["1","1","1","02/05/2005","01:44","-89 39 37","19 55 8","Area agricola de temporal","Campeche","Hopelchen","NO AFECTA","0","0","TERRA"],
["2","2","","02/05/2005","01:44","-90 3 49","19 42 20","Pastizal cultivado","Campeche","Campeche","NO AFECTA","0","0","TERRA"],
["3","2","2","02/05/2005","01:44","-90 3 18","19 41 45","Area agricola de temporal","Campeche","Hopelchen","NO AFECTA","0","0","TERRA"],
...
Si no ves está variable con tus datos dentro del código HTML, entonces tienes problemas con las variables arribas mencionadas

I am using the free trial version and i cannot see the resulting grid in my server, but it works good in my pc (localhost).
I supose this is the license protection.
Anyone knows something about this issue?
Estoy usando la versión de prueba y no puedo ver el grid resultante en mi servidor, perop funciona bien en mi pc (localhost).
Supongo que esta es la protección de licencia.
¿Alguien sabe algo acerca de este tema?

how can i use multiple query and show it in the same table?
i am using cold fusion query and mssql database.
BELOW IS MY CODE WHICH RUNS CORRECTLY, BUT ONLY USE 1 QUERY.
my code:
var myData = [<cfoutput query="qSearch">["#qSearch.CurrentRow#","<A href='myform.cfm?RefNo=#ID#' target='_blank'>#ID#</a>","#TITLE#","#TYPE#","#COMMENT#","#DATE#","#ACTIONSTATUS#"],</CFOUTPUT>];
var columnTitles = new array();
columnTitles.add("ID", "MY<br>TITLE", "TYPE", "COMMENT", "DATE", "STATUS");
i am confused. anybody knows how? thanks.

sugestion for function aw_cells by alex:
i think it's better to add trim() to the value to free from whitespace.
because i found error if i don't do that.
i Add this trimlike this:
foreach ($record as $value){
$value=trim($value);
echo $cellSeparator."\"".$value."\"";
$cellSeparator = ",";
}
function from alex:
function aw_cells($dataset){
$recordSeparator = "";
echo "[\n";
while ($record = @mysql_fetch_array($dataset)) {
echo $recordSeparator;
$cellSeparator = "";
echo "\t[";
foreach ($record as $value){
echo $cellSeparator."\"".$value."\"";
$cellSeparator = ",";
}
echo "]";
$recordSeparator = ",\n";
}
echo "\n];\n";
}

Hi ,
Im a total newbie and yet have found it pretty easy to setup.
Im using PHP/MYSQL and found the simple example that was easy to cut and paste.
I want the grid to be live, so I looked a little further and added the following code.
obj.setCellEditable(true);
obj.onCellValidated = function(text, column, row){
var r = new AW.HTTP.Request;
r.setURL("updateSingleCell.php");
r.setRequestMethod("POST");
r.setParameter("column", column);
r.setParameter("row", row);
r.setParameter("text", text);
r.request();
r.response = function(data){
alert(data);
}
}
I lucked out and it worked with one exception. The data is not updating the database.
I believe that I need to setup the updateSingleCell.php file to handle the updating and found the following code example for this file.
<?php
$column = $HTTP_POST_VARS['column'];
$row = $HTTP_POST_VARS['row'];
$text = $HTTP_POST_VARS['text'];
echo "done";
?>
Im thinking that this is missing a few things and the average guy would have no problems finishing this from this point but like I said Im a newbie.
1. Connection Settings to mysql I think I got this one with something like this
$connection = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password)
or die ("Couldn't connect to server.");
$db = mysql_select_db($database, $connection)
or die ("Couldn't select database.");
2. Processing Code
Some form of UPDATE ? not sure this is where I need help.

you still need help? (That code doesn't work for me, but I have some other code that does)

Comptech... can you please post your code? I'm trying to do something similar and could use the example.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I am using the data grid in edit mode. I would like to know how to update the data that has been edited into my mysql database using ajax. Please help.
Regards,

Hey every 1!
After reading and searching through the docs and forums and looking at the examples, it appears to me that the 2.0 Grid isn't natively setup to handle server side paging. Is this right?
Virtual rendering still loads all the data from the server and allows it to be scrolled through on the client side. Is this correct?
In order to make it scroll through a large database, you have to make your own Javascript (kind of like this:
http://www.activewidgets.com/javascript.forum.13524.9/when-will-ajax-paging-be.html - which doesn't work for sorting btw)
Is that correct? Or is there a easier way in 2.0.2?
I was hoping for some server-side interaction like OpenRico's Livegrid.
I am happy to write this, but I want to know if it is already done - no sense writing something that already exists if it does.
Could someone (Alex?) tell me about this?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
This is the simple paging Alex's suggestion:
/javascript.forum.12092.28/paging-with-version-2-0.html
And this is my workaround to make it "sortable".
/javascript.forum.15805.5/blank-page-during-paging.html
Anyway it would be great to have more paging methods/options we can count on, so..., really appreciate all contibutions.
T & B.R.

Thanks so much Carlos! Very helpful!
Alex - are you going to include server side paging abilities in Version 2.5?
Jim

No, AW 2.5 is still client-side javascript code. Maybe AW 3.0 :-)
