DataTable using PHP

Question

Is PHP capable of being used to code a DataTable?

I'm not very comfortable with ajax, therefore while searching online, many tutorials and other resources use it. If there is a way to code a data table just using PHP, can somebody point me in the direction of a resource?

Answer 1

Even if I wholeheartedly concur with the remarks made below your query! as a fast fix (that requires no learning curve!) If your tables have fewer than 10.000 rows, you can create a straightforward HTML table using a for/while loop, just like you would for a straightforward table. then give datatable your table's ID as follows:

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('#example').DataTable();
});

I hope this helps you.
