[RESOLVED] Datagrid

[Fazi]

Hai friends,

i developing a time card program using php and mysql.
i want at the end of the day, 120 emplyees records should be added.
my client requir a Datagrid linke interface. i have never used a datagrid in the web before. so please advise where to find a Datagrid Controll and how to use it.

[dclamp]

there are no 'controls' for php. I am sure that you can find some kind of ajax gridview

[Fazi]

oh is it, dclamp, have you ever use one in your php / mysql projects?

[dclamp]

no. i have not actually. I just use tables to show my data

[Fazi]

i thing asp people have many resources in control wise than php guys. am i correct?

[dclamp]

you are correct.

[Fazi]

thanks dclamp for info.

Just use a table.

[Fazi]

Pena, the table is use for display data. how do i enter data in it? Joking

[Fazi]

Any idea on how to create a data grid for php, mysql ? sorry for the bounce, it is agent.

[penagate]

Well you could use a form with a table within it and an input control in each table cell.
If you want anything fancier than that you'll need JavaScript.

thanks pana,
assume there are 120 employees,
each employee have around 10 columns to fill.
so we need around 12 X 120 Input boxes in each cell.
is this a professional way to do ?

* i think the text boxes can be dynamically generated uing a php loop with the html.

[penagate]

Should every employee be able to see every entry?
It seems to me as though each employee would only need to see their own row.

[Fazi]

No my dear pana,
A nice Girl, she enters the records of the previous day time card stats of 120 employees when she come to work next day. so i must give her a grid like interface to enter those stats. emloyees have nothing to do with this

[dclamp]

Kind of a suggestion, but what if there were a form where employees had to enter their secret pin number into, then it would get marked in the db what time they logged in, and when they leave, then enter it once more, and it tells what time they left.

Then everything in the process is dynamic except for the person entering the pin.

[Fazi]

first of all, sorry for the delayed reply, coz i really missed the dclamp reply notification.

Dclamp, seems a very good idea. i just want to check this matter with the employer. Thank you for the suggession.

[dclamp]

no problem!
