DB2 PHP Generator online Help

Return to chapter overview

String templates are used by DB2 PHP Generator on setting HREF templates, hints, etc. The strings may contain column names enclosed by %.

Examples:

1. Suppose a table 'team' stores various info about NBA teams. The table has 'caption' column with such data:

maverics

cavaliers

To create links to the team home pages:

http://www.nba.com/maverics/

http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/

set the HREF template

http://www.nba.com/%caption%/

2. Suppose there is a table 'employee' storing employee info. The table has 'first_name' and 'last_name' columns with such data:

Forest Gump

Sara Connor

To add such hints to their photos on the generated webpage:

Forest Gump Photo

Sara Connor Photo

Specify the hint template:

%first_name% %last_name% Photo
