Changing PHP table to JavaScript

[JustinC474]

I am currently in an internship where my main goal is to construct a database that can be run client-side (in JS). I have it done it PHP and am having a very hard time switching it to javascript.

Rows = all info on one client
Columns = Specific information (name, date, etc)

Up until last monday i had never programmed PHP HTML or JavaScript so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

This is the PHP function that creates a table (and works well)
($data = 2D array of client information; $numRows = number of rows; $columns = array of column headers)

     function printJSTable()
      {
        echo '<script language="Javascript" src = "java_script.js"></script>';
        echo '<table id = "myTable" class = "halloween" border = "1">';
        echo '<tr>';
        foreach($this->columns as $header => $order)
        {
                echo '<th>';
                echo $header;
                echo '</th>';
        }
        echo '</tr>';
        $counter = 0;
        for($i = 0; $i < $this->numRows; $i++)
        {
                echo '<tr >';
                foreach($this->data[$i] as $key => $value)
                {
                        echo '<td id ="'.$counter.'" onmouseover = "ParaOver(this)" onmouseout = "ParaOut(this)" onclick = "changeInfo(id)">';
                        if($value!="")
                                echo $value;
                        else
                        {
                                echo '<input type = "button" value = "Empty" size = 10>';
                        }
                        $counter++;
                        echo '</td>';

                }
                echo '</tr>';
        }
        echo '</table>';
      }

any help at all would be great!! thanks!

What do you mean when you say 'can be run client-side (in JS)'?

If you mean you want to be able to update the DB using only client-side code then I think you'll be sorely disappointed, as you'd ultimately still need server-side code unless you go with some sort of IE-only Active-X control.
