Adding links to the table (hyperlink) in PHP

 Adding links to the table (hyperlink) in PHP

There are 2 ways: The easier way is to print all data, but just not display it yet until someone clicks the link. For the hyperlinked part.

Example:  used a 'span' element which is styled like a hyperlink. 

//place inside your head tag

<style>

.hyperlink-lookalike

{

    text-decoration:underline;

    color:blue;

    cursor:pointer;

}

</style>

<script>

//javascript function to toggle extra animal info

function show_extra_info(id)

{

   var tr = document.getElementById('extra_info_'+id);

   if(tr.style.display=='none')

   {

      tr.style.display='table-row';

   }

   else{

      tr.style.display='none';

   }

}

</script>

 

//inside the loop

echo '<tr>';

echo '<td colspan='2'><span class="hyperlink-lookalike" onclick="show_extra_info(' . $row['id'] . ')">' . $row['name'] . '</span></td>';

echo '</tr>';

echo '<tr id="extra_info_' . $row['id'] . '" style="display:none;">';

echo '<td>' . $row['cost'] . '</td>';

echo '<td>' . $row['life'] . '</td>';

echo '</tr>';

 

The second way:- to use a hyperlink, and go to a detail view:

echo '<td><a href="http://www.example.com/animaldetailedinfo.php?id=' . $row['id'] . '">' . $row['name'] . '</a></td>';

 

display the text in the column as a static hyperlink by calling set_col_link() and passing the column name.

set_col_link() function:- Display the text in column as a static hyperlink.

EXAMPLE: -  $dg -> set_col_link("productCode");

 

Example:

$dg = new C_DataGrid("select * from products", "productCode", "productcode");

$dg -> set_col_title("productCode", "Product Code");

$dg -> set_col_title("productName", "Product Name");

$dg -> set_col_title("productLine", "Product Line");

// display static Url

$dg -> set_col_link("productUrl");                                            

 $dg -> display();
