Load Data with Vertical Scroll

In contrast to traditional pagination method to browse through data, you can use vertical scroll as alternative way to load data. It is done by set parameter in set_scroll() to true. When scroll position changes, phpGrid makes ajax call in the background and refresh the content in the grid. As a result, pagination is disabled automatically when this method is used.

Note that it does not load everything at once and only hold all the items from the start through to the latest point ever visited. This improves page loading time while prevents memory leaks from happening.

// set height and weight of datagrid
$dg -> set_dimension(800, 600);

// increase pagination size to 40 from default 20
$dg -> set_pagesize(40);

// use vertical scroll to load data
$dg -> set_scroll(true);

$dg -> display();
