Using EJ2 Grid in PHP: Getting Started

2 mins read

Initializing EJ2 component

Step 1: By using CDN, refer to the required control’s script and style in the PHP file in JavaScript.

<!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
<link href="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-grids/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
 
<!-- Essential JS 2 all script -->
<script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

 

Step 2: Add the control to the application.

<div id="Grid"></div>

 

Step 3: Add the corresponding scripts to the script tag.

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
 allowSorting: false,
        columns: [
            { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'Freight', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShippedDate', headerText: 'Shipped Date', width: 140,  textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Shipped Date', width: 140,  textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
        ]
    });
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

 

Refer to the following documentation link for getting started on EJ2 components.

Data binding

Using the getData method, the JSON data will be fetched from the server. Find the following code snippet to bind the data source using the dataManager.

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
 allowSorting: false,
        columns: [
            { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'Freight', width: 120, textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShippedDate', headerText: 'Shipped Date', width: 140,  textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Shipped Date', width: 140,  textAlign: 'Right' },
            { field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', width: 150 }
        ]
    });
     var data = new ej.data.DataManager({
     url: 'http://localhost:80/grid/getData.php/?action=getData',    
     crossDomain: true 
}).executeQuery(new ej.data.Query()).then(function(e){
    grid.dataSource = e.result;
    grid.appendTo('#Grid');
})

 

Refer to the following documentation link to learn more about databinding.

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/data/data-binding/

In server-side, the data from database can be retrieved by using the getData()method.

function getData(){ 
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");  
$selected = mysql_select_db("grid", $dbhandle);   
//execute the SQL query and return records
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM grid");
//fetch the data from the database 
$emparray=array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   $emparray[]=$row;
}
echo json_encode($emparray);
}
if(function_exists($_GET['action'])) {    
   $_GET['action']();
   }
