Initialization

To use functionality of DHTMLX Connector, first you should initialize it.
Generally, both client- and server-sides are concerned in it.

1. Specify connector file in load (or loadXML) method of a component.
   
   

   //index.html
   myGrid = new dhtmlXGridObject("someContainer");// initializes grid
   ...
   myGrid.load("my_connector.php");

1. Include connector.js file (located in dhtmlxConnector_php/codebase).
   
2. Specify connector file in load (or loadXML) method of a component.
3. Initialize dhtmlxDataProcessor on client-side (read more about it here).
   
   

   //index.html
   <script src="codebase/connector/connector.js"></script>
   myGrid = new dhtmlXGridObject("someContainer");// initializes grid
   ...
   myGrid.load("my_connector.php");
   myDP = new dataProcessor("myconnector.php");// initializes dhtmlxDataProcessor
   myDP.init(myGrid);

Samples of client-side initialization for all components

1. Include appropriate connector file into the page.
2. Create Database connection.
3. Instantiate connector object. Linking variable is a mandatory parameter in all constructors. The second parameter(database type)- optional. By default “MySQL”. Other possible: “Postgre”
4. The last step is data configuration.
   
   

   //my_connector.php
   require("connector/grid_connector.php");// connector file
   $res=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");// db connection
   mysql_select_db("myDatabase"); // db connection
   $gridConn = new GridConnector($res,"MySQL"); // connector object
   $gridConn->render_table("mytable","item_id","item_nm,item_cd");// data configuration
