PHP - Navigation Menu With Php Arrays

In CSS, most people add most styling to the A tag instead of UL or LI.  Do you know why?

Hi,

I am am looking to develop further the code below. This code allows me to display a left navigation bar with Main Links and then if you click a Main link, that link is listed first in the list and its' submenu appears below. For the majority of links in the navigation bar this is fine. But for about 2 of the Main links this basic navigation is not suitable.

I need the navigation for 2 of the links to offer more depth. So, for example, if you click Accessories in:

Shoes
Trousers
Shirts
Accessories

Looks like this if Accessories is clicked:

Accessories
Belts
Cuff Links
Wallets
Shoes
Trousers
Shirts

Looks like this if belts is clicked (Main link name changed and submenu changed):

Accessories - Belts
Brown leather
Black Leather
Multicolour Designs
All casual
All formal
Shoes
Trousers
Shirts

Looks like this is Brown Leather is clicked:

Brown Leather Belts
Armani Brown Leather Belt 32"
Armani Brown Leather Belt 34"
Hugo Boss Brown Leather Belt 32"
Hugo Boss Brown Leather Belt 34"
Shoes
Trousers
Shirts


Currently the code does not allow for this depth in the navigation bar. Any ideas how it could be done? Do I need additional tables for each subcategory. How do I ensure the category clicked does not appear in the rest of the navigation bar, as in the code I have at the moment?

Currently the code is:


$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM categories");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
  $cats[$row['categoryid']] = $row['categoryname'];
}
if(isset($_GET['category'])) {
 $selcat = $_GET['category'];
}
if(isset($_GET['product'])) {
 $prod_info = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE productid = ".$_GET['product']));
 //Prod_Info now gets stored for use in the main display.
 $selcat = $prod_info['categoryid'];
}
if(isset($selcat)) {
  echo "<a href='categorylist.php?category=".$selcat."'>".$cats[$selcat]."</a>";
  unset($cats[$selcat]); //Gets rid of it for later.
  $res = mysql_query("SELECT productid,name FROM products WHERE categoryid = ".$selcat);
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
   echo "<a href='product.php?product=".$row['productid']."'>".$row['name']."</a>";
  }
}
foreach($cats AS $key => $cat)  {
  echo "<a href='categoryview.php?category=".$key."'>".$cat."</a>";
}



Thank you for looking at this post,

Matt.

I have this thing that i am trying to make but i cant get it to work.. can anyone help?

Code: [Select]

{
$names = array();
$password = array();


$connect = @mysql_connect("mysql11.000webhost.com",$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die("Could Not Connect");
@mysql_select_db ($dbname) or die("Could not find DataBase");


$query = mysql_query("select * from users");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($numrows > 0){

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

$names[] = $row["uname"];
$password[] = $row["password"];
$id = $row["id"];

}
$return = array($names,$password,$id);

}else{
$return = array();
}


return $return[];
}



$names = array();

$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];


The error i get is
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/a5480952/public_html/sql/index.php on line 28
Line 28 is "$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];"

Please help... i REALLLLD need help with this.. ask questions if you want to know more about what i am trying to do... thanks!

I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. 

the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array.

Array to convert

array(
    "account" => array(
        "login",
        "register",
        "logout",
        "edit",
    ),
    "p" => array( 
        "report",
    ),
    "array1.0" => array( 
        "array2.0" => array(
            "array3.0",
            "array3.1
        ),
        "array2.1",
    ),

generating the array will look like this

 

Array ( 
[0] => account 
[1] => account/login 
[2] => account/register 
[3] => account/logout 
[4] => account/edit 
[5] => p 
[6] => p/report 
[7] => array1.0 
[8] => array1.0/array2.0
[9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0
[10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1
[11] => array1.0/array2.1

)

The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array. 

 

I have two arrays, both with the same key values. I'd like to combine them. So for instance...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$array1['abcd'] = array( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah");
$array1['efgh'] = array( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz");

$array2['abcd'] = array('value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four");
$array2['efgh'] = array( 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6");

function combine_arrays($array1,$array2)
{

//*combining*
return $single_array;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r(combine_arrays($array1,$array2));
echo "</pre>";

/*
would produce 

['abcd'] = ( 'value1'  => "blah",
                 'value2'  => "blahblah",
                 'value3'  => "three",
                 'value4'  => "four" )

['efgh'] = ( 'value1' => "ha",
                 'value2' => "haha",
                'valuex'  => "xyz",
                'value3' => "hohoho",
                'value6' => "six6" )
*/
?>
What's the easiest way to do this?

Let's say I have an array like this:

Man1(0), Man1(1), Man1(2), etc.
Man2(0), Man2(1), Man2(2), etc.
Man3(0), Man3(1), Man3(2), etc.
...

and I want to loop through the array.
I know I can do:
Code: [Select]
$i=0;
while $i<=99
{//...do something with Man1[$i];}
i++;
but can I also do a loop with each Man?
Like:
Code: [Select]
$i=0;$a=1;
while $i<=99
{//...do something with Man$a[$i];}
i++;a++;
I've written all the code for each Man separately and I'm thinking there's got to be a way to shorten the code with another loop, but I don't know how.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

Hi i'am try to insert multiple data on a single submit, but i'm a total noob to Arrays, can any one help me out here... one of the members send me this out, but still i can figure it out how to insert the fields onto my database. it inserts but doesnt get the valuee.. Please help!

//HOW DO I MAKE MY SQL QUERY TO SAVE THIS OUT, I KNOW THIS IS MY PROBLEM IN THE QUERY....

here's my HTML

 <input name="id[]" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $row['id'];?>" />
 1st<input name="fg[]" type="text" id="fg[]" size="1" value="<?php  $g_sub['sub_id'];?>"/>

Hello,

I have 2 array questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

1) First, I'm trying to add elements to a previously existing array.  I start with:

$data = array('text' => $_POST['text'],

   'question_type' => $_POST['question_type'],

  'solution' => $_POST['solution'],

  'filename' => $filename,

   'author_id' => $_POST['author']);
Then, under certain circumstances, I'm going to want to add the following to the array $data:

      'incorrect_solution1' => $_POST['incorrect_solution1'],

'incorrect_solution2' => $_POST['incorrect_solution2'],

'incorrect_solution3' => $_POST['incorrect_solution3'])

I tried the concatenation function, combined with an if statement but then PHP thinks that I have a string.

2) Once I have the array, I want to shuffle the solution and 3 incorrect solution indices.  I'm not sure how to shuffle just a portion of an array.

Any help with either or both questions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have some similar arrays. How I can combine them to shuffle the new array?

I can't work out the quotes around this...

$bookingID['$row['id']'] = $row['id'];
echo $bookingID['$row['id'];'];

Parse error: parse error, expecting `']''

What would fix this?

I'm not sure if this can be done, but I would like to get the sum for each $.row[''] result ex: if $row['robotics'] had values of 100,150,300 I would like to be able to show a total of 550

Code: [Select]
<?php
echo "<Table border=1>";
echo "<tr><td></td><td>Robotics</td><td>Chiral Stuctors</td><td>Enriched Uranium</td><td>Mechanical Parts</td><td>Coolant</td><td>Consumer Electronics</td><td>Precious Metals</td><td>Reactive Metals</td><td>Oxygen</td><td>Toxic Metals</td></tr>";
$result = mysql_query("select * from `pi`");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo "<tr><td>".$row['pilot']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['robotics']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['chiralstuctors']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['enricheduranium']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['mechanicalparts']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['collant']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['consumerelectronics']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['preciousmetals']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['reactivemetals']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['oxygen']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['toxicmetals']."</td></tr>";

}
echo "</table>";

Hello,

I have an array, $solutions, and a separate indexing array, $solution_order.  From the $solution_order array (developed from the $order variable, where each $order variable looks like '0321' or '3021'), I'd like to create a new array $ordered_solutions, which indexes on the values picked from the $solution_order array.  For example, if my $solutions array is (Big, Small, Fat, Skinny) and my $solution_order array is (2,3,1,0), then the final results should be (Fat, Skinny, Small, Big).  I've written down what I have so far.  Any thoughts about how to move this forward would be appreciated.

Thanks!
function GetOrder($solution, $wrong1, $wrong2, $wrong3, $order) {

$solutions = array( $solution,

               $wrong1,

$wrong2,

               $wrong3);

$solution_order = array(substr($order,0,1),

       substr($order,1,1),

       substr($order,2,1),

      substr($order,3,1));
$ordered_solutions = array();

//what do to here??

return $ordered_solutions;
}

Thanks in advance

Hello! i want to store data in a array (as seen in the code). Im trying to make it so that a php code search through the arrays and find the correct one. once it does it tells me. I dont know if im close, How ever this is what i have.


$carrier = $_POST['carrier'];

$carriers = array(
array("verizon","tmobile","sprint","att","virgin","textnow","metro","unknown"),
array("@vtext.com","@tomomail.net","@messaging.sprintpcs.com","@txt.att.net","@vmobl.com","@textnow.me","@mymetropcs.com","@teleflip.com")
            );

If ($carrier = 

I am trying to learn about sorting and modifying arrays and I am practicing on a book assignment but need some help to grasp what I need to do.

If you go here, you will see how it is supposed to work.

http://198.86.244.3/mabarckhoff/WEB182/ch11_ex1/

I need to write a case to sort the task when you click the sort button and modify when you click that button. The delete button works and the add task works. I understand the sort array and have added that case, but don't know how to get it to work with the submit. Also there is a promote button so would need 'promote' what ever you have chosen in the dropdown menu to the top.

Here is my code.
