I created Ajax based dependent dropdown list and based on the selected item I selected table from database and displayed html table as output.

Now I want to generate hyperlink for each row of html table .This hyperlink is used to access public files based on the fid

I think i cannot use views because i am generating html table based on selected item from dropdownlist

I would be more thank full if anyone can share some ideas

  • Still you can make use of views here. Make the drop-down list as an exposed filter and select the style under FORMATE as table

If you have custom code that generates the table then it should be easy to output the link to files as well.

I assume you are looking for info on how to get the link to the file having your file id from the database.

You will need this: Given a File ID (fid) how can I get the HTML that represents that fid?

EDIT: After you provided some sample code I was able to figure out what you need:

You need a slash in front of drupal. 

<a href=\"/drupal/sites/default/files/" . $data->FileName . "\">

  • I asked to see the result of printing the $data object. Can you change your code to while($data = $result->fetchObject()){ print_r($data);exit();} This will print the first raw $data object and you will see the actual fields and values available.

  • stdClass Object ( [Bib_ID] => 1 [AuthorsList] => H.K. Ciezki,G. Adomeit [Title] => Shock-tube investigation of self-ignition of n-heptane-air mixtures under engine relevant conditions [Journal] => Combustion and Flame [Year] => 1993 [CommonProperties] => equivalence ratio, temperature,ignition delay [FileName] => C&F_Dagaut_1995_Fig 1A_Pg134-97-03.xls is the raw data after i execute print_r(data).I have filename.
