Server-side paging in DataTables
Server-side paging in DataTables allows for large amounts of data to be loaded and displayed on a page without having to load the entire dataset. This is done by sending an Ajax request to the server for each new page of data, instead of loading all the data at once. Here are the basic steps to implement server-side paging in DataTables: 1. Configure the server-side script to return the appropriate subset of data based on the page number and page size. 2. Initialize DataTables with the server-side processing option set to true, and configure the Ajax settings to point to the server-side script and send the necessary parameters. 3. Set the paging options in DataTables to display the desired number of rows per page, and configure any additional options as needed. Here is an example of how to implement server-side paging in DataTables using PHP and MySQL: PHP script (server-side script to retrieve data): <?php // MySQL database connection details $host = 'localhost';
