Changes in dhtmlxConnector bundled with dhtmlxGantt and dhtmlxScheduler
Note that we’ve changed the default database adapter to PDO. So, if you use PDO driver, no changes should be required:
$dbtype = "PDO";
require_once('connector/scheduler_connector.php');
$scheduler = new schedulerConnector($res, $dbtype);
$scheduler->render_table("events","event_id","start_date,end_date,event_name,details");
if you use php_mysql, then db_mysql.php has to be included manually and type of connection (“MySQL”) must be specified in the connector constructor:
mysql_select_db("schedulertest");
$dbtype = "MySQL";
require_once ("connector/db_mysql.php"); //! important
require_once ("connector/scheduler_connector.php");
$scheduler = new schedulerConnector($res, $dbtype);
$scheduler->render_table("events","event_id","start_date,end_date,event_name,details");
