Hello,

Link to test case:
working on a PHP Project using Localhost
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net):
file Clients.php

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
 function get_clients(){
      $.ajax({
          type: 'GET',
          url: 'ajaxData.php?clients=true',
          dataType:"html",
          success: function(response){
            console.log(response);
            $("#clients").html(response);
          }
        });
    };
    get_clients();
   })
  </script>
<table id="datatable" class="display">
      <thead>
          <tr>
              <th>ID</th>
              <th>NOM</th>
              <th>DEPARTEMENT</th>
              <th>VILLE</th>
              <th>TELEPHONE</th>  
              <th>ACTION</th>
          </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody id="clients"> </tbody>
    </table>

file ajaxdata.php

if(!empty($_GET["clients"])){

  $query="select * from client as c, villes_france as v, departement as d
  where c.ville_id=v.ville_id and v.ville_departement=d.departement_code";
  $pdostmt=$pdo->prepare($query);
  $pdostmt->execute();
   while($ligne=$pdostmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)):
            
        ?>
        <tr>
            <td><?php echo $ligne["idclient"]; ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $ligne["nom"]; ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $ligne["departement_nom"]; ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $ligne["ville_nom"]; ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $ligne["telephone"]; ?></td>
            <td>
              <button class="btn btn-success"> </button>
              <button  class="btn btn-danger"></button>
            </td>
        </tr>
        
          <?php
       endwhile; 
       $pdostmt->closeCursor(); 
}

    Notice this in the non-working version indicating no row data:

    Ajax is an asynchronous process. So it looks like you are initializing Datatables before the table is populated with data. In the success function you are populating the table with $("#clients").html(response);. After this statement is where you want to initialize the Datatable.

    success: function(response){
    console.log(response);
    $("#clients").html(response);
    $("#datatable").dataTable();
    }

    it works perfectly, thank you so much Kevin !
