DataTable using PHP

Question

Is it possible to code a DataTable using PHP?

When searching online all tutorials etc are using ajax, which I\'m not to comfortable with so just wondering if there

Answer 1

Even though I totally agree with comments below your question! as a quick workaround (with no learning curve!) if your tables contain less than 10.000 rows you may simply generate a simple HTML table in a for / while loop as you would for a simple table. Then pass your table's ID to datatable like this:

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

But after all, AJAX is created to make world a better place for us. :-)
