The version 3.0 is a new milestone and has been improved in many ways. Not only has it added many more features but also even easier to create PHP web-based editable datagrid with very little code. The old embedded Javascript and Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, in the new version are now in completely separate .js and .css files, which further separates presentation from programming logic. Changing presentation of datagrid only involves changing the CSS. No programming is needed.

One of the main design goals of phpGrid is to make datagrid task easy for PHP developers, which means easy to install; straight forward programming; and enough freedom to customize things such as background color, font style, table width etc.

System Requirements

phpGrid is operating system independent. It works on both Windows and Linux as long as the following components are installed:

If you are new to Apache/PHP/mySql on Linux OS, consider using XAMPP, an integrated installation from Apache Friends in an open source development environment.

If this is your first time using Apache/PHP/mySql on Windows OS, we recommend Web tool kit from Sokkit. It installs Apache, PHP, and MySQL in one batch installation and requires almost no configuration. You can also choose between Microsoft IIS or Apache as the web server.

Installation

phpGrid can be installed anywhere on web server and referenced through the followings using PHP include: 

include("include/phpgrid.php");
