Build CRUD Web App with jqxGrid using PHP and MySQL
This help topic shows how to use the jqxGrid in CRUD application scenario and send INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE commands to the server to update a MySQL DataBase.
The first step is to create the file we’ll connect with. We will call the file ‘connect.php’
Now, lets create the file that will handle the queries. We will call the file data.php. The data.php file connects to the ‘Employees’ table from the Northwind Database and returns the data as JSON. It also checks for ‘insert’, ‘delete’ and ‘update’ properties.
Let’s see how the data.php actually works. In the following example we store the connection in a variable ($mysqli) for later use in the script.
//Connect to the database
$mysqli = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $database);
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
By default, the code executes a SELECT command which actually populates the jQuery Grid. The example below stores the data returned by the $mysqli->prepare($query) in the $result variable. $result->execute() executes the query. Then with $result->bind_result we bind the result from each returned row to the given variables. It's important the number of the variables to be exact as the number of the returned fields. With $result->fetch() we returns the each row in the Emloyees Table. The while loop loops through all the records in the Employees Table. The result of this query is a JSON data used to populate the Grid.
// get data and store in a json array
$query = "SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Title, Address, City, Country, Notes FROM employees";
// SELECT COMMAND
$result = $mysqli->prepare($query);
$result->execute();
/* bind result variables */
$result->bind_result($EmployeeID, $FirstName, $LastName, $Title, $Address, $City, $Country, $Notes);
/* fetch values */
while ($result->fetch())
{
$employees[] = array(
'EmployeeID' => $EmployeeID,
'FirstName' => $FirstName,
'LastName' => $LastName,
'Title' => $Title,
'Address' => $Address,
'City' => $City,
'Country' => $Country,
'Notes' => $Notes
);
}
echo json_encode($employees);
To insert new records into the Employees Table, we use the INSERT INTO statement. With $mysqli->prepare($query) we prepare the query. With bind_param we give the parameters to the prepared query. The final step is to execute the prepared statement. The $res variable is used to return the result of the operation to the Grid - 1 for success or 0 when some error is occurred.
if (isset($_GET['insert']))
{
// INSERT COMMAND
$query = "INSERT INTO `employees`(`FirstName`, `LastName`, `Title`, `Address`, `City`, `Country`, `Notes`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
$result = $mysqli->prepare($query);
$result->bind_param('sssssss', $_GET['FirstName'], $_GET['LastName'], $_GET['Title'], $_GET['Address'], $_GET['City'], $_GET['Country'], $_GET['Notes']);
$res = $result->execute() or trigger_error($result->error, E_USER_ERROR);
// printf ("New Record has id %d.\n", $mysqli->insert_id);
echo $res;
}
To update records, we use the UPDATE statement. The records data is passed to the server in the index.php file.
else if (isset($_GET['update']))
{
// UPDATE COMMAND
$query = "UPDATE `employees` SET `FirstName`=?, `LastName`=?, `Title`=?, `Address`=?, `City`=?, `Country`=?, `Notes`=? WHERE `EmployeeID`=?";
$result = $mysqli->prepare($query);
$result->bind_param('sssssssi', $_GET['FirstName'], $_GET['LastName'], $_GET['Title'], $_GET['Address'], $_GET['City'], $_GET['Country'], $_GET['Notes'], $_GET['EmployeeID']);
$res = $result->execute() or trigger_error($result->error, E_USER_ERROR);
// printf ("Updated Record has id %d.\n", $_GET['EmployeeID']);
echo $res;
}
To delete records, we use the DELETE FROM statement. The EmloyeeID is passed to the server in the index.php file. We delete the records by the EmployeeID.
else if (isset($_GET['delete']))
{
// DELETE COMMAND
$query = "DELETE FROM employees WHERE EmployeeID=?";
$result = $mysqli->prepare($query);
$result->bind_param('i', $_GET['EmployeeID']);
$res = $result->execute() or trigger_error($result->error, E_USER_ERROR);
// printf ("Deleted Record has id %d.\n", $_GET['EmployeeID']);
echo $res;
}
Now, let’s see how the jQuery Grid communicates with the Server. Create a new index.php file and add references to the files below:
Let’s build our jQuery Grid. At first we need to create the source object that will be used in the Grid’s initialization. The returned data from the server will be in JSON format and we set the datatype member to “json”. Then we set the datafields. Each datafield must have a name member equal to a column’s name in the Employees Table. The url of the connection is the ‘data.php’ file. The source object’s addrow, deleterow and updaterow functions are called when the Grid’s addrow, deleterow or updaterow methods are called. When the jQuery Grid’s addrow method is called, it adds the row locally and then calls the addrow function of the source object. The data that the Grid passes to the addrow function is the new row’s id and the actual row’s data. In the code below, we send the new row’s data to the server. The deleterow and updaterow functions are implemented in a similar way.
var source =
{
datatype: "json",
datafields: [
{ name: 'EmployeeID'},
{ name: 'FirstName'},
{ name: 'LastName'},
{ name: 'Title'},
{ name: 'Address'},
{ name: 'City'},
{ name: 'Country'},
{ name: 'Notes'}
],
id: 'EmployeeID',
url: 'data.php',
addrow: function (rowid, rowdata) {
// synchronize with the server - send insert command
var data = "insert=true&" + $.param(rowdata);
$.ajax({
dataType: 'json',
url: 'data.php',
data: data,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
// insert command is executed.
}
});
},
deleterow: function (rowid) {
// synchronize with the server - send delete command
var data = "delete=true&EmployeeID=" + rowid;
$.ajax({
dataType: 'json',
url: 'data.php',
data: data,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
// delete command is executed.
}
});
},
updaterow: function (rowid, rowdata) {
// synchronize with the server - send update command
var data = "update=true&" + $.param(rowdata);
$.ajax({
dataType: 'json',
url: 'data.php',
data: data,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
// update command is executed.
}
});
}
};
Next, we initialize the Grid and set its source property to the source object.
In the following code, we subscribe to the buttons click event, and call the jQuery Grid’s updaterow, deleterow and addrow methods in the event handlers.
// update row.
$("#updaterowbutton").bind('click', function () {
var datarow = generaterow();
var selectedrowindex = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getselectedrowindex');
var rowscount = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getdatainformation').rowscount;
if (selectedrowindex >= 0 && selectedrowindex < rowscount) {
var id = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getrowid', selectedrowindex);
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('updaterow', id, datarow);
}
});
// create new row.
$("#addrowbutton").bind('click', function () {
var rowscount = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getdatainformation').rowscount;
var datarow = generaterow(rowscount + 1);
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('addrow', null, datarow);
});
// delete row.
$("#deleterowbutton").bind('click', function () {
var selectedrowindex = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getselectedrowindex');
var rowscount = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getdatainformation').rowscount;
if (selectedrowindex >= 0 && selectedrowindex < rowscount) {
var id = $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('getrowid', selectedrowindex);
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('deleterow', id);
}
});
The content of the index.php file is listed below:
There were more attractions outside the temple than in it for our young visitors, and, after a hasty glance at the shrines in the neighborhood of the great altar, they went again into the open air. I prompted Camille to ask if he had ever encountered Ned Ferry, and he laughed. "In a matter like this," put in Gregg, "sense is at a premium. What we have to do is to consult our intuitions." "Be silent," Leona Lalage hissed, "take heed lest you go too far. Begone, get back to your kennel, anywhere out of my sight. Do you think I want to keep you near me an hour longer than is necessary?" In regard to the use of the T square and set squares, no useful rules can be given except to observe others, and experiment until convenient customs are attained. A beginner should be careful of adopting unusual plans, and above all things, of making important discoveries as to new plans of using instruments, assuming that common practice is all wrong, and that it is left for him to develop the true and proper way of drawing. This is a kind of discovery which is very apt to intrude itself at the beginning of an apprentice's course in many matters besides drawing, and often leads him to do and say many things which he will afterwards wish to recall. If Zellers semi-Hegelian theory of history does scant justice to the variety and complexity of causes determining the evolution of philosophy, it also draws away attention from the ultimate elements, the matter, in an Aristotelian sense, of which that evolution consists. By this I mean the development of particular ideas as distinguished from thexvii systems into which they enter as component parts. Often the formation of a system depends on an accidental combination of circumstances, and therefore cannot be brought under any particular law of progress, while the ideas out of which it is constructed exhibit a perfectly regular advance on the form under which they last appeared. Others, again, are characterised by a remarkable fixity which enables them to persist unchanged through the most varied combinations and the most protracted intervals of time. But when each system is regarded as, so to speak, an organic individual, the complete and harmonious expression of some one phase of thought, and the entire series of systems as succeeding one another in strict logical order according to some simple law of evolution, there will be a certain tendency to regard the particular elements of each as determined by the character of the whole to which they belong, rather than by their intrinsic nature and antecedent history. And I think it is owing to this limitation of view that Zeller has not illustrated, so fully as could be desired, the subtler references by which the different schools of philosophy are connected with one another and also with the literature of their own and other times. So I had to get out and take the next car, and was late for gymnasium. Oh! the man groaned, and dropping his weapon, he began to nurse his shoulder. Jeff shut his eyes. Then he opened them again. No use to try a jump, no use to do anything but be ready if The Apache never quivered a muscle nor uttered a sound. It was fine stoicism, and appealed to Felipa until she really felt sorry for him. "All right," said the Lieutenant in charge of the herd, when the circumstances were explained to him. "Free passes over my road to Chattanooga are barred. Everybody has to work his way. But I'll see that you get there, if Joe Wheeler's cavalry don't interfere. We are going over in the dark to avoid them. You can put your carpet-bag in that wagon there. Report to the Herd-Boss there." There was an air-conditioning duct, but Cadnan did not know what such a thing was, nor would he have understood without lengthy and tiresome explanations. He didn't know he needed air to live: he knew only that the room was dark and that he was alone, boxed in, frightened. He guessed that somewhere, in another such room, Dara was waiting, just as frightened as he was, and that guess made him feel worse. "All wot?" Bill looked, his eyes opening wider than ever. She[Pg 401] certainly was a disreputable female, or there was no judging by appearances. She wore a big frowsy hat trimmed with roses and ears of corn, under which her thick black hair was held up by several tawdry pins; her face was more lavishly than artistically adorned with rouge and blanc de perle, and she pulled a cape of lavender velvet closely round her shoulders as if she were coldwhich might well have been, for, as far as they could see, her bodice consisted almost entirely of lace.
