Example 6: Display Hyperlinks

Sometimes we would like to display certain data stored in database as hyperlinks links to other pages. It can be done easily with phpGrid. 

$dg = new C_DataGrid($hostName, $userName, $password, $dbName);
 
$dg -> set_gridpath     ("include/");
$dg -> set_sql          ("SELECT * FROM Employees");
$dg -> set_sql_table    ("Employees");
$dg -> set_sql_key      ("EmployeeId");
 
// change column titles
$dg -> set_col_title    ("EmployeeId", "Employee ID");
$dg -> set_col_title    ("LastName", "Last Name");
$dg -> set_col_title    ("FirstName", "First Name");
 
// set background and mouse over color
$dg -> set_alt_bgcolor  ("#ffcc99, #ffccdd");
$dg -> set_onmouseover  ("yellow");
 
// hide a column
$dg -> set_col_hidden   ("Notes");
 
// display image
$dg -> set_col_img      ("PhotoPath", "", "width:100px;");
 
// display URL as hyperlink

$dg -> set_col_link    ("ReportsTo", 
                        "/query.php?EmployeeId=", 
                        "EmployeeId", 
                        "target='_new'"); 
 
$dg -> display();
