Thank you in advance.
I thought I could do this after using DataTables but Editor has me stumped.

Here is a link: http://www.murray5.com/preditor/prshow.php

Here is the main file:

Here is the php file.

Remove all of the HTML stuff from it. It should just be PHP in there. The files in the examples (/examples/php/) show what would typically be the contents of the file.

That would be making the JSON invalid on return.

I'd check, but the link above don't appear to be loading for me at the moment I'm afraid. Interestingly its not even timing out - it just tries to load forever!

The link should be ok.
I pulled the html out of the script.

But no table.
Thanks, Wiley

The HTML doesn't appear to be valid in the page that is now loading. It is:

i.e. there is not table tag and you are closing the html document before actually using the script.

Have a look at the HTML that Generator creates to see how it might look for a working page.

Sorry, I thought you wanted me to remove html from the script.

allan · February 2017

Up above you, immediately after:

Here is the php file.

That PHP file shouldn't have all that HTML in it. It should just be PHP. Generator will show you an example of PHP as well.

OMG, Thank you so much.
I spent hours working on this.
Just a few comments from you and I got it working, or should I say you did.

This is an amazing tool. I will now start playing with customization.
I will purchase it today.

Thank YOU !!!!
