This script retrieves data from MySQL and returns it to the grid as a JSON array.
Integrating with PHP allows you to build high-performance, enterprise-grade data tables with features like server-side pagination, sorting, and filtering. This guide provides a modern example of connecting AG Grid to a PHP/MySQL backend for a full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) experience. 1. Database and Environment Setup
Before writing code, ensure you have a local server like XAMPP running with Apache and MySQL. aggrid php example updated
const columnDefs = [ { field: "id", sortable: true, filter: true }, { field: "name", editable: true }, { field: "category", editable: true }, { field: "price", editable: true } ]; const gridOptions = { columnDefs: columnDefs, // Capture edits to update the database onCellValueChanged: (params) => { fetch('update.php', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(params.data) }); } }; const gridDiv = document.querySelector('#myGrid'); const api = agGrid.createGrid(gridDiv, gridOptions); // Fetch initial data from PHP fetch('fetch.php') .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => api.setGridOption('rowData', data)); Use code with caution. 3. The Backend: PHP & MySQL API
Create a table named products to store your grid data: This script retrieves data from MySQL and returns
prepare("UPDATE products SET name=?, category=?, price=? WHERE id=?"); $stmt->bind_param("ssdi", $data['name'], $data['category'], $data['price'], $data['id']); $stmt->execute(); ?> Use code with caution. 4. Advanced: Server-Side Row Model (SSRM)
When a cell is edited in the grid, this script receives the updated row data. price=? WHERE id=?")
Use the AG Grid Community edition via CDN for a quick setup.
Your PHP scripts will handle data retrieval and updates using JSON as the bridge.
