RE: [PEAR] Structures_DataGrid question - do I need to use DB_DataObject?

Thanks Arnaud While I decided keep the SDD to Smarty arrangement as I had before, I found your SDG to Array very useful! Using it and EZPDF I am now able to output my SDG to PDF. So from the one datagrid I can output to HTML, xls or pdf depending on which (if any) submit button the end-user pushes. To output a simple datagrid to pdf, I used: require_once ('include/classes/pdf/class.ezpdf.php'); $dg->setRenderer("Array"); $dg->bind($do); $data = $dg->renderer->toArray(); $pdf =& new Cezpdf(); $pdf->selectFont('include/classes/pdf/fonts/Helvetica.afm'); $pdf->ezTable($data[Data]); $pdf->ezStream(); EZPDF will allow for much for sophisticated formatting but this is fine for starters. :) I know that PEAR has a File/PDF application but there's no end-user documentation and the API looks confusing. EZPDF is a breeze, well documented and available from Sourceforge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php Cheers Prue -----Original Message----- From: arnaud sellenet bodin [mailto:demental@free.fr] Sent: Saturday, 19 November 2005 12:41 AM To: pear-general@lists.php.netpear-general@lists.php.netpear-general@lists.php.n et Subject: Re: [PEAR] Structures_DataGrid question - do I need to use DB_DataObject? Interesting indeed, I didn't know that you could assign object to smarty and call their method right from the template. What I did could be merged with yours as I did not make much for the pager. Here's the Array renderer I wrote and how I use it. The main limitation is you can't use columns that have an empty or null 'name' property Sorry if some comments mismatch the context, most of them come from Structures_DataGrid_Renderer_HTML_Table
