NAME

   HTMLTable - Make a HTML table from DBI query output.

SYNOPSIS

    use DBIx::HTMLTable;

    &DBIx::HTMLTable::HTMLTable ($data, <options>);

    &DBIx::HTMLTable::HTMLTableByRef ($dataref, <options>);

DESCRIPTION

The DBIx::HTMLTable function takes the results of a DBI query and format it as an HTML table. The second argument is a hash of options and table attributes. Options and attributes are described below.

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

The function DBIx::HTMLTable() uses 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).

DBIx::HTMLTableByRef() uses a reference to an array of array references, as returned by the DBI fetchall_arrayref() function and similar functions. As with HTMLTable, the second argument is a hash of valid options and attributes, which are described briefly below.

  $data = $dbh -> selectall_arrayref( "select \* from $db" );
  &DBI::HTMLTable::HTMLTableByRef ($data, 
                                   {width => 200,
                                    bgcolor => 'black',
                                    caption => "Text",
                                    border => 2,
                                    width => 300});

An example CGI script is provided in eg/tablequery.cgi in the distribution package.
