phpMySQLGrid

A flexible MySQL data grid library for PHP.

phpMySQLGrid provides a reusable class to display and manage MySQL table data in a grid with filtering, sorting, pagination, and CRUD actions.

Features

• Table rendering with customizable columns
• CRUD modes: view, add, edit, delete
• Field types: text, boolean, lookup, password, selection, multiline text, file
• Sorting, filtering, and pagination
• PDO-based database access (MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite)
• Hook callbacks for add, edit, and delete workflows
• CSS-based styling with included themes

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or newer
• MySQL-compatible database

Installation

Install with Composer:

composer require tschueller/phpmysqlgrid

Assets (CSS/JS) are not automatically published. Use the provided CLI command from your host project (see Asset Publishing below) to copy them into your web root.:

php vendor/bin/phpmysqlgrid-assets

For development in this repository:

composer install

Upgrade Guide (v0.5 to v1.0)

See the dedicated upgrade guide in docs/upgrade-guide.md.

Simple Example

Database Connection Modes

phpMySQLGrid supports two connection modes:

1. Default mode (legacy-compatible): internal PDO connection created automatically from hostname, port, username, password, database properties.
2. Injected connection mode: externally managed PDO connection via setDatabaseConnection().

1) Default mode (internal PDO)

Set the connection properties and call execute(). The class creates a PDO connection internally using mysql:host=…;port=…;dbname=…;charset=utf8mb4. This mode is fully backward compatible with existing integrations that set these properties.

2) Injected PDO mode

Use this mode when you already manage your DB connection externally or when you want to run integration tests against SQLite.

Notes:

• In injected mode, the provided PDO connection is reused for all database operations.
• In injected mode, the caller owns the connection lifecycle.
• All database operations use PDO exclusively; mysqli is no longer supported.

Demo Page

This repository includes a manual demo page with seeded user data and a persistent SQLite database file.

Start the demo server from the project root:

composer run demo:start

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Notes:

• The demo database is stored at demo/demo.sqlite and is kept across page loads.
• Use http://127.0.0.1:8000/demo/index.php?reset=1 to recreate schema and seed data.
• Add/edit/delete/filter/sort can be tested directly in the browser.

Asset Publishing for Host Projects

By default, package assets are not automatically copied into your web root. Publish them from your host project with:

php vendor/bin/phpmysqlgrid-assets

Default target is:

assets/phpmysqlgrid

Override target path with either an argument

php vendor/bin/phpmysqlgrid-assets --target public/assets/phpmysqlgrid

or an environment variable:

# Bash
PHPMYSQLGRID_ASSET_TARGET=public/assets/phpmysqlgrid php vendor/bin/phpmysqlgrid-assets

# PowerShell:
$env:PHPMYSQLGRID_ASSET_TARGET="public/assets/phpmysqlgrid"; php vendor/bin/phpmysqlgrid-assets

Automatic Publishing in a Host Project

In your host project's composer.json, you can run asset publishing automatically after install/update:

Include CSS

Use MySQLGridAssets for cache-busted URLs/tags.

The default CSS include is split into:

• mysqlgrid-base.css
• mysqlgrid-theme-default.css

Recommended default theme usage:

Dark theme example:

When you use themes, set $grid->cssClass so the grid uses the matching theme scope:

Currently available themes:

• default (modern)
• dark (dark mode)
• light (border-less light design)

For full asset helper documentation (themes, custom themes, cache busting internals, method reference, and legacy/deprecated methods), see docs/assets.md.
