It’s also possible to use JSON string as a data source with one extra step: use json_decode and set the second parameter to true to return the decoded JSON string to an associative array.
Once you have the array, it can be passed to the phpGrid constructor as if it’s a local array data source. This is useful when your data is real-time or loaded from a remote source such as stock quote and RSS etc.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | $url = "http://myurl.com/json_string"; $json = file_get_contents($url); $json_output = json_decode($json, true); $dg = new C_DataGrid($json_output['items'], "id", "items"); $dg -> display(); |
