NAME

   HTMLTable - Create HTML table from DBI query output.

SYNOPSIS

    use DBIx::HTMLTable;

    HTMLTable ($data, <options>);

    HTMLTableByRef ($dataref, <options>);

DESCRIPTION

HTMLTable() formats the results of a DBI query as a HTML table. The first argument is the query output formatted as a multi-line string, with columns delimited by a field separator (a comma by default) and rows delimited by a record separator (newline by default). The second argument is a hash of options and table attributes. Options and attributes are described below.

    &DBIx::HTMLTable::HTMLTable ($data, 
                                {rs => "\n",
                                fs => ',',
                                caption => "Caption Text"});

HTMLTableByRef() takes as its first argument a reference to an array of array references, as returned by DBI's fetchall_arrayref() and similar functions. As with HTMLTable(), the second argument is a hash of valid options and attributes.

  $tableref = $dbh -> selectall_arrayref( "SELECT \* FROM $db" );
  HTMLTableByRef ($tableref, 
                  {bgcolor => 'white',
                   caption => "$db SELECT Query",
                   border => 2,
                   width => 300});

The file eg/tablequery.cgi is an example CGI script that formats query output for viewing in a Web browser.

OPTIONS

Options determine how to interpret data and how to construct tables.

rs: HTMLTable only. Character delimiter for data rows.
fs: HTMLTable only. Character delimiter for data columns.
caption: If the value of this option is a non-empty string, formats the string as the table's caption.
