Hello fellow insomniacs. Need help to optimize interaction between MySQL and Java powered browsers.
I am using Data Tables and related Editor as front ends for a fairly large MYSQL database. Allan did a great job in integrating these tools but I am having trouble breaking into his modules to cutomize this interaction using PHP at the server, or Java at the browser.
One example:
The data base stores three fields as: (1) Last Name, (2) First Name, (3) Middle Name.
Challenge: The Table should display this data in same order, eg., (1) Public, (2)John, (3) Q."
The Editor, however, should allow the data to be entered as "First Name Middle Name Last Name, eg, John Q. Public.
Question: Where is this conversion best accomplished? On the server side or at the browser side? PHP or Java? Any relevant code snippet that I can use?
Many thanks to anyone who can help me sleep a few more hours.
