Since my table has server-side enabled Im creating a stand-alone server side script which exports to excel.
Basically I fetch data from mysql and use phpspreadsheet for excel creation.
Naturally I want the excel being exported to be identical to the current table shown client-side.
Im not sure how to best approach that,
I know that I can get alot from DT API, columns visible for example,
But how can I make a mysql query which returns the exact same rows as a search made in datatables (the regular standard search input)
I know search() is more complicated than ’=’ and ’%LIKE%’
Happy easter
