Arrays of arrays or arrays of object ?

Arden54

Hi,
I'm trying to display datatables with data from my database. The json response looks like this :
{"data":[["pineapple","1","1","1",null,"09\/Jan\/18"],["tomato","2","1","2",null,"31\/Jan\/11"],["banana","3","2","1","test","01\/Jan\/20"]]}
Is that an arrays of arrays or arrays of object ? If it is an array of arrays, can you affirm that I don't have to put "columns" : [column names] please ?

Hi @Arden54 ,

Yep, the square brackets mean it's an array of arrays, so yep, you don't need to specify the columns. See the example here, on the Ajax tab, this data is like yours.

Cheers,

Colin

Hi, thanks for answer ! I just have a little question, where do you put the directory "data" ? I'm on Symfony3. I tried to put it in the web directory but it seems not to be recognized

Nevermind, as I'm using a function to get data from my DB I'm not gonna use the "data/arrays.txt". Thanks anyway for the answer

Guessing you have two accounts (Nancy/Arden)

Right, I had a problem with my first account that's why I created a second but there is no more problems now that's why I have 2 ^^
