Ok, I got the multi filter select code to work with the zero configuration example
http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

but I can't get it to work with the server side example, where I'm pulling from my own table.

how is this done, and if it can't be done, is there a way to import the columns and rows from my mysql database into a datatable so that it can then use the multi filter select on html datatables?

EDIT:
actually now that I think about it, since I'm a newbie it would be really awesome just to have HTML datatables instead of using mysql at all.

but I don't understand how to go from mysql --> datatables well formed code, is there a way to do it automatically rather than rewriting thousands of rows in an html editor?
