Save Table Contents To Server

wirikidor

Currently I'm using a DataTable to display the contents of a CSV file found on a server, in order to edit the individual fields. I have a server side resource (PHP) that converts the CSV to JSON and the DataTable loads it dynamically. I made some custom buttons for doing things like deleting a row, and that works fine.

What I'm stuck on now though is how do I save the data in my DataTable back to the server as a CSV? I was looking at TableTools, but that only seems to allow you to copy the data to clipboard or download as a CSV/PDF/etc.

I need to do an AJAX post back to the server with my new values, and I'm not sure what direction to go.

You can make another button that takes all the datatable's data then ajax it back to the server, however i am not sure how well it will work if you are doing pagination.
