Methods

TableObject is an abstraction of a 2D table with X columns and Y rows where each cell can be used to store any kind of data.

__construct(integer $rows,mixed $columns): \org\turbocommons\src\main\php\model\TableObject

Columns can be labeled with a textual name which can be used to access them anytime (data can be also accessed via numeric row and column indexes).

Arguments

$rows

integer

The number of rows for the created table (Rows can be added or modified anytime later).

$columns

mixed

The number of columns to create or an array of strings containing the column labels for all of the columns that will be created (Columns can be added or modified anytime later).

Response
