What really is PHP DataGrid?

The PHP Grid (or PHP Datagrid) is a feature rich control used to show information from sources like database or JSON services in a tabular form. It also support other essential powerful features in a box like inline add, editing, deletion like we do in excel. Searching, Sorting and Paging is also supported. Some provides more advanced features like Grouping, Import, Export and Master-Detail Grids.

Data Binding with Remote Data

The main difference is the remote datasource integration with the datagrid, otherwise it is not different from any Javascript client side datagrid solution. You can connect PHP Grid solutions with Databases and fetch / send data from / to JSON web services. MySql, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, PgSql, ODBC Driver and all major databases supported.

Mobile Friendly

Mobile / Small screen devices / Responsive support is a must-have feature and all solutions which don’t support mobile screens are considered pretty much outdated and not recommended and will not be discussed.

Advanced Features

Supports AI Assistant, Readymade Application Templates, Laravel Integration, WordPress Integration, Drag-and-Drop Row Sorting.
