How to Use ssp.class.php to Combine Tables

DataTables, a jQuery plugin for presenting tabular data, offers an example for joining MySQL tables. However, the SSP library (ssp.class.php) doesn't natively support joins or subqueries.

To overcome this, you can leverage a subquery in the $table definition:

$table = <<<EOT
(
    SELECT 
      a.id, 
      a.name, 
      a.father_id, 
      b.name AS father_name
    FROM table a
    LEFT JOIN table b ON a.father_id = b.id
) temp
EOT;

Ensure the column names are unique, or use aliases with 'AS'. Also, remove backticks from instances of "FROM $table" in ssp.class.php:

FROM $table  

Please note that there are alternative solutions like the enhanced ssp.class.php from the github.com/emran/ssp repository, which adds JOIN support.
