Hello there,
I've been asked to create something like the tables you usually see, where the headers are
actually links and when you click the links, the table gets sorted based on the header. Are there
any classes that you know of that would do the job? My current idea is to return an array of the
colomn which contains the data you want to sort on (like 'name') then sort the array and
do something like:
[code]
for (i = 0; i < length(array); i++)
mysql_query("select * from table where 'name' = ${aray[i]}");
[/code]
Any better algorithms anyone?
Thanks!
