Question

I am using following PHP class to display records. I also want to open another webpage when a row is selected according to a column value. This class is doing everything fine when this line is like:

$x->setQuery("*", "people");

If instead of *, I define columns like:

$x->setQuery("fname,lname,age", "people");

it stops identifying the clicked row id. Can someone help me out?

I’m not really familiar with this library, but I’ve had a peek at the source. I think you need to include the id column in the list of columns you pass to setQuery. You’d probably have the best results calling it like this:

$x->setQuery("id,fname,lname,age", "people", "id");

You could also try leaving it out of the first list, but still passing it as the third parameter which specifies the primary key.
