Design for the PMA_DisplayResults class of PMA

PMA_DisplayResults class will contain the functions specific to the displaying query results and handling special tables like `PROCESSLIST` which provides informations on current threads running in PMA. At the current code base, these functions are appeared as global functions inside display_tbl.lib.php file. After introducing PMA_DisplayResults class instead of this set of functions, the file will be renamed as DisplayResults.class.php .

Class diagram (not the completed one) for the PMA_DisplayResults class

Following code snippet represent some rough implementation of the PMA_DisplayResults class,

class PMA_DisplayResults {
    
    const DIRECTION_LEFT = 'left';
    const DIRECTION_VERTICAL = 'vertical';
    
    private $_db;
    private $_table;
    
    public function __construct($db, $table) {
        $this->_db = $db;
        $this->_table = $table;
    }
    
    public function getTable() {
        
        // Related code for getTable function
        $str .= $this->_getTableHeaders();
        // end of the related code
        
    }
    
    private function _getTableHeaders() {
        //code...
        $msg = PMA_getMessage($this->_db, $this->_table);
        //code...
    }
    
}

As the only outsider accessed Display class, the sql.php file will be use,

// inside sql.php file
$displayResultsObj = new PMA_DisplayResults($GLOBALS['db'], $GLOBALS['table']);
echo $displayResultsObj->getTable();
