access to column name in formatter closure function

constantino

I'm loving thing library, thank you very much for all your effort into making a solid piece of code!

I've got most of what I want implemented but there is a final part that I'm having trouble getting around. I'm using a formatter to do some data manipulations, however I need access to the column name within the closure function:

'formatter' => function( $d, $row ) {
            return $column_name . $d; // how can I access the column name?
        }

I've tried using something like

$column_name = array_search($d, $row);

which works fine until two columns exist that have the same $d value. How can I get around this?

Thanks!

This is in the demo server-side PHP script? There is no option for that at the moment. You would need to modify the demo code to add that ability.

Yep I've taken the demo as a starting point and modified it for my purposes. Could you show me a quick example of how I would modify it in order to access column name please?

Thanks!

The DataTables support options would cover this if you would like me to do the work for this.
