    Hi,
    I am working on datatable server side scrpting (server.php and ssp.class.php) ,

    in server.php this is my code

    $columns = array(
        array( 'db' => 'lead_id', 'dt' => 0 ),
        array( 'db' => 'lead_id', 'dt' => 1 ,'formatter' => function( $d, $row ) 
        {
            $hostname='localhost';
            $user = 'root';
            $password = 'test';
            $mysql_database = 'testDB';
            $link1 = mysqli_connect($hostname, $user, $password,$mysql_database);
            
                    
            $sql3 = "select user,phone_number,first_name from Test where lead_id='$d'";  
            $res3 = mysqli_query($link1,$sql3);
            $rows3=mysqli_fetch_row($res3);
            
            $login_UserVal = $rows3[0];
            $phone_numberVal = $rows3[1];
            $first_nameVal = $rows3[2];
            
            return "<a onclick='window.open(\"user_profile.php?user=$login_UserVal&phone=$phone_numberVal&leadId=$d\")'>$first_nameVal</a>";            
        },
        ),
        array( 'db' => 'field1',  'dt' => 2 ),
        array( 'db' => 'field12',  'dt' => 3 ),
        array( 'db' => 'field2',  'dt' => 4 ),
        array( 'db' => 'field3',  'dt' => 5 ),
        array( 'db' => 'field4',  'dt' => 6 ),

    That looks like an extremely inefficient way of doing it I'm afraid. For every row in the table you are making a new database connection and running a query. Side from not being able to search in that column, the script will start to run really slowly.

    What you need is a left join. The demo SSP script doesn't support joins, but Editor's PHP libraries do and you can use them free (i.e. without an Editor license) as described here.

    If you don't want to use the Editor libraries, then you need to modify the SSP class to do a left join.

    Hi Sandeep,

    This is the class in question. You would need to modify it to add left join support. I'm afraid that is not something I can offer to do at the moment.
