Example of a One to Many Screen w/ PHP

Post by Mike Thomas »

I am rather new to PHP, but have been using it with SQL Server and My SQL, and am trying to move away from ASP.Net. I do business programming, and I am curious whether anyone know where I can find an example of a web page made using PHP which is what I call a one to many screen, the type which is commonly used in biz apps.

Typically, this is an invoice or PO type of screen where the top of the screen has the data relevant to the document, e.g. the invoice number, date, customer,etc. The subscreen, or grid, has the line items, e.g. part #, quantity, etc.

I am trying to find a good example of such a screen, where records can be added to the grid, editied, deleted, etc in the most user freindly way. I have not seen such a page using PHP, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks
Mike Thomas

depending on your framework, an iframe would be used inside the page to make it easier for the server to work with the grid. If you're using XMLHTTP as the major transport mechanism then DHTML would be used with no iframe typically.. The latter is what I've done in the past, and am still doing now (different code bases though)

All I can think of is a Frontend Controller (which was recently talked about in detail in the Theory board)


Moved to PHP - Code until further data known, I guess...
