I decided to write this post, because I wanted to get a full picture of what's going on with datagrid components in PHP.
Also I want to compare prices, functionality and other features for the major PHP datagrid components. I understand, that this is not professional investigation, but I hope I could make good enough and useful.
Ok, so... let start and check them!
After 15-minutes check and search, using Google, Yahoo and Bing (I hope it's enough :))
were found following datagrid components (with different order):
