The Datatable 1.10.9 has been released now, Datatable is the most popular grid plugin in web development. The main benefit of Datatable is the open source and light-weighted jquery plugin. You can use this plugin with other CSS frameworks like bootstrap and foundation. There are a lot of datatable plugins are available which useful to improve UI experience.
I got huge response from reader on previous datatable tutorial which was DataTables Example – Server-side Processing with PHP.I have used JSON data in code instead of fetch data from the MySQL database, So I have got many requests to share code with PHP, MySQL using ajax.
Also Checkout other tutorial of Datatable,
If you are more comfortable in watching a video that explains about Datatable Pagination, Sorting and Search – Server Side(PHP) Using Ajax, then you should watch this video tutorial.
There are following files are participate in this Datatble tutorial:
Index.php - This file will responsible to create html and instance datatable using jquery code.
response.php - This file responsible to create database connection string and convert records into json string and returns data to Ajax method as response.
connection.php - This file responsible to create mysql database connection.
We will create simple PHP application to fecth data from server using PHP.The php is using mysql to store and fetch data.
The jQuery datatable help to display records into html page with pagination sorting and searching feature.
We will Create db_connect.php file into root of the project path, Now we will put the below connection code in this file.
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = "";
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
$dbname = 'test';
$connection = mysql_select_db($dbname);
Step 1: we will include jquery datatable and jquery library.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/r/dt/dt-1.10.9/datatables.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
Step 2: Create HTML layout in your web page (index.php).
<div class="container"> <div class=""> <h1>Data Table</h1> <div class=""> <table id="employee_grid" class="display" width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr> <th>Empid</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Salary</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> </thead> <tfoot> <tr> <th>Empid</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Salary</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> </tfoot> </table> </div> </div> </div>
Step 3: Instantiate datatable object on table(index.php).
$( document ).ready(function() {
$('#employee_grid').DataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax":{
url :"response.php", // json datasource
type: "post", // type of method , by default would be get
error: function(){ // error handling code
$("#employee_grid_processing").css("display","none");
}
}
});
});
Above code – We have applied datatable on employee_grid table.The serverSide have the rest url path which will use to get data from backend server.
Step 4: Include connection file into top of the response.php file.
//include connection file
include_once("db_connect.php");
Step 5: Using parameters to create sql.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `employee` ORDER BY id asc LIMIT ".$params['start']." ,".$params['length']." ";
Step 6: Send json data to the index.php file.
$json_data = array( "draw" => intval( $params['draw'] ), "recordsTotal" => intval( $totalRecords ), "recordsFiltered" => intval($totalRecords), "data" => $data // total data array );

On clicking it, the details view page of the record will be displayed. I don't know how to acomplish this. I have tried some code which creates the desired hyperlink but the url valiable is not passed. Even the text of hyperlink is displaying "Undefined". If you need to see my code,

Hi kamlesh
Thank you very much.
By this project "Datatable CRUD Operation Using Ajax with Bootstrap 5, PHP and MySQL" I have always this warning:
DataTables warning: table id=dt-employee - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1
Can you help me?
Normally this error occurred by two reason: The JSON data is not valid, Other is col number/name mismatch
Hi,
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it really help me.
i need help in something .. i have a DATE as a fields so how i can arrange your code to make the sorting works.
thks again.
thanks, i ll send you code once ill get time
Hello.
I'm new to AJAX and libraries in general when it comes to web development, so I have a few questions.
Let me start off with telling you that I have a CSGO server up and running, and I want to display data to my visitors from this database. Configuring the connection and SQL queries was ok, but now I've run into some problems.
1. I want to display a column "Rank", which is not in the database, but given to the players depending on their 'score'. EG: The player with the highest score gets rank 1, second highest rank 2 etc.
With PHP this was easy enough, I just set the $rank to $totalPages * $perPage and incremented the $rank per row. But so far I havent figured out how to do this in AJAX.
2. In my database I can see kills, deaths, shots, hits and headshots. I want to display to my visitors the amount of % headshots and their kill/death-ratio. Do you have any idea how to make this query with AJAX, and also how to add an extra column to display this? Thus far I just get errors when adding more columns than expected.
Thank you so much for the code and continously help. It is very appreciated!
EDIT: I forgot to ask about the ORDER BY. I can see that this is set to order the first column by an ascending order. Is there any way to customize this? I would like to have it to order by score in an descending order instead!
Again, thank you so much for your help!
As per my understanding about your questions,
You can do same thing using mysql script very easily or you can create mysql views and get records from mysql views instead of table.
ORDER BY - You can set using data table parameter,
Hello,
Please how do i make one of the fiels clickable say the name field so that user can click to open or download a file
ok,i ll share code with this
Hello,
Thanks for sharing this nice article , I would like to know how i send data (as object) to the server side , for example i would like to send employee data (first name,last name..ect ) and do the search at the database based on this values .
Here is my code but it doesn't work for me
function SearchEmps(empData) { // javaScript object with employee data(first name,last name..ect )
var DTO = { 'empData': empData };
$('#employee_grid').DataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax":{
url :"response.php", // json datasource
type: "post", // type of method , by default would be get
data: JSON.stringify(DTO),
error: function(){ // error handling code
$("#employee_grid_processing").css("display","none");
}
});
}
// Server side Get data and perform search....
this is sample code to send custom parameters to serverside datatable:
var data = { 'name': 'parvez', 'lname':'alam'};
$('#employee_grid').DataTable({
"bProcessing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"responsive": true,
"ajax":{
url :"response.php", // json datasource
type: "post", // type of method ,GET/POST/DELETE
error: function(){
$("#employee_grid_processing").css("display","none");
},
"data": function ( d ) {
d.cParms = data;
}
}
});
