PHPRunner General questions

I want to add some custom buttons to the chart page; for example a quick button to return only the last 30 days.

I know how to use events to manipulate the where clause and then the data. But how do I add the button and post back to that page and pickup the "click" event?

Add a custom button to the chart page and in the "Server" tab enter this code:

$_SERVER['chart_days'] = 30;


in the "Client after" event of the button, redirect to the chart page:

location.href = 'yourchartpagename_chart.php';


In the "Before SQL query" event of the chart page enter the following code:



if(isset($_SERVER['chart_days']))

{

$strWhereClause = whereAdd($strWhereClause,"num_days = ".$_SERVER['chart_days']);

}


Replace num_days with the real name of the field.

Thanks...but I'm a real noob with PHPRunner 6.2 ... Where is the option to add a custom button? or Do I need to setup the <form> etc myself?
Also, what is "Server" tab?

Thanks, but why do I have to redirect, isn't the click of the button sending information to the server and brining back to the same chart page? can't I just do the sql edit that first time, rather than loading the page a 3rd time?

This is not a PHPrunner feature.

ok... i think i've found another way ... will post back if it works.
But to help testing. what's the easiest way to get the SQL statement executed to display on screen?

In the "After application initialized" event add the following code:

$dDebug = true;

Hummmm... works on other pages, but the chart page i'm working on now shows "XML Parser failure: The element type must be terminated by the matching end-tag."
I removed all my code and it still says that when debug is enabled.

Chart pages use flash plugin for charts rendering. Output text before rendering might be a problem.
