Upgrade HTML Tables

Documentation

• HTML Table Documentation CodeIgniter 3.x
• HTML Table Documentation CodeIgniter 4.x

What has been changed

• Only small things like the method names and the loading of the library have changed.

Upgrade Guide

1. Within your class, change $this->load->library('table'); to $table = new \CodeIgniter\View\Table();.
2. From then on, you have to change $this->table to $table in every line starting with it. For example: echo $this->table->generate($query); will become echo $table->generate($query);
3. The methods in the HTML Table class could be named slightly differently. The most important change in the naming is the switch from underscored method names to camelCase. The method set_heading() from version 3 is now named setHeading() and so on.

Code Example

CodeIgniter Version 3.x

<?php

$this->load->library('table');

$this->table->set_heading('Name', 'Color', 'Size');

$this->table->add_row('Fred', 'Blue', 'Small');
$this->table->add_row('Mary', 'Red', 'Large');
$this->table->add_row('John', 'Green', 'Medium');

echo $this->table->generate();

CodeIgniter Version 4.x

<?php

$table = new \CodeIgniter\View\Table();

$table->setHeading('Name', 'Color', 'Size');

$table->addRow('Fred', 'Blue', 'Small');
$table->addRow('Mary', 'Red', 'Large');
$table->addRow('John', 'Green', 'Medium');

echo $table->generate();
