I am using the following code to create a HTML table from a CSV

  • 0

I am using the following code to create a HTML table from a CSV file.
How can I make this table sortable? I tried using Jquery tablesorter but the problem seems to be that when I click on a row to sort it, that it gets recreated by the PHP afterwards which results in an unsorted table.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<?php
function jj_readcsv($filename, $header=false) {
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
echo '<table>';
//display header row if true
if ($header) {
$csvcontents = fgetcsv($handle);
echo '<tr>';
foreach ($csvcontents as $headercolumn) {
    echo "<th>$headercolumn</th>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
// displaying contents
while ($csvcontents = fgetcsv($handle)) {
echo '<tr>';
foreach ($csvcontents as $column) {
    echo "<td>$column</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
fclose($handle);

}

jj_readcsv('table.csv',true);
?>

    The page redirection is due to some other bad PHP code (possibly) or can be a script as well.

    Edit: Indented all the code and checked it as well.

    PHP code : 

    <?php
function jj_readcsv($filename, $header=false) {
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
?>
<table id="tb" >
<?php
if ($header) {
$csvcontents = fgetcsv($handle);
?>
    <thead>
        <tr>
    <?php foreach ($csvcontents as $headercolumn) { ?>
            <th><?php echo $headercolumn; ?></th>
    <?php } ?>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
<?php } 
while ($csvcontents = fgetcsv($handle)) { ?>
        <tr>
    <?php foreach ($csvcontents as $column) { ?>
            <th><?php echo $column; ?>
    <?php } ?>
        </tr>
<?php } ?>
    </tbody>
</table>
<?php fclose($handle); 

}
jj_readcsv('table.csv',true);
?>

    JQuery JS:

    $("#tb").tablesorter();
