PHP - Php Category Tree Question
Similar TutorialsHi, I use this code (found in post http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=205633.0) to create a tree structure of categories and subgategories. Code: [Select] $prevcat = ''; $prevsubcat = ''; $sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY categ, subcateg"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $cat = $row['categ']; $subcat = $row['subcateg']; $item = $row['itemname']; $description = $row['itemdesc']; if($cat != $prevcat){ echo $cat.'<br />'; echo 'sc '. $subcat.'<br />';//if the category has changed, we also want to show the new subcat }elseif($subcat != $prevsubcat){ echo $subcat.'<br />'; } echo 'it '.$item.'<br />'; echo 'desc '.$description.'<br />'; $prevcat = $cat; $prevsubcat = $subcat; } The above code works fine but I am trying to figure out how to count results of the deepest subcategory, so I will be able to change cell color or have results presented in two colums (left and right). Example: - main category 1 -- subcategory under category 1 ------ result 1 ------ result 2 ------ result 3 - main category 2 -- subcategory under category 2 ------ result 1 ------ result 2 - main category 3 -- subcategory under category 3 ------ result 1 ------ result 2 ------ result 3 ------ result 4 etc I want to count results under each subcategory, so on the above example I should have: 3 results for category 1 2 results for category 2 4 results for category 3 Any suggestions? Thank you. Hello, I have been searching and trying all sorts of ways to get my sub categories drop down to show the correct info after selecting a category from the main drop down but im getting stuck. It's pulling the categories and sub categories from the mysql database fine but no matter which main category i pick it keeps showing the same result in the sub category. My brother said i need to use some sort of onchange do this so the sub category list refreshs but everything i have tried doesn't work.. PLEASE could some one help. MANY MANY THANKS This is the category form Code: [Select] <select name="job_cats" style="width:165px"> <?PHP $query1 = "SELECT * FROM job_cats"; $result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("query 1 failed"); $count1 = mysql_num_rows($result1); for ($i = 0; $i < $count1; $i++) { $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1); $job_cats_title1 = $row1['title']; $job_cats_id1 = $row1['id']; echo '<option value="'.$job_cats_id1.'">'.$job_cats_title1.'</option>'; echo $job_cats_id1; } ?> </select> this would echo this in the main category list: cat1 cat2 cat3 cat4 this is the sub category form Code: [Select] <select name="job_sub_cats" style="width:165px"> <?PHP $query1 = "SELECT * FROM job_sub_cats WHERE job_cats_id = $job_cats_id1"; $result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("query 1 failed"); $count1 = mysql_num_rows($result1); for ($i = 0; $i < $count1; $i++) { $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1); $sub_cats_id1 = $row1['id']; $sub_cats_title1 = $row1['subTitle']; $cats_id1 = $row1['job_cats_id']; echo '<option value="'.$sub_cats_id1.'">'.$cats_id1.'</option>'; } ?> </select> this should echo this: 1 2 3 4 but it keeps echoing just the number 4. THANKS PLEASE HELP ricky An array of "categories" is given:
$categories = array(
array("id" => 1, "title" => "Pants", "children" => array(
array("id" => 2,
"title" => "Boots",
"children" => array(
array("id" => 3, "title" => "Leather"),
array("id" => 4, "title" => "Textile"),
),
),
array("id" => 5, "title" => "Sneakers"),
),
),
array(
"id" => 6,
"title" => "Sort",
"children" => array(
array(
"id" => 7,
"title" => "Balls",
),
),
),
);
I need to write a function searchCategory ($categories, $id) that returns the name of the category by the category ID. So I am having some difficulties with a category system. I want my code to search the database an unlimited amount of times to the very last directory and then display it in tree view on my screen. I'm having some trouble because I am having to specify how many depths the code will search. How can I get it to do this on it's own? Currently my code does this...
<?php
// Establish SQL Connection.
$mysqli = mysqli_connect( $sql['host'], $sql['user'], $sql['pass'], $sql['db'] ) or die( "DARN");
$query = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders ORDER BY name ASC" );
$num_rows = $query->num_rows;
echo "Found <b>" . $num_rows . "</b> row(s) in the database!<br>";
while ( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $query ) )
{
// DO NOT REMOVE
$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$parent = $row['parent'];
/***************************************************************************************************/
if ( $parent == 0 )
{
echo $id . " " . $name . " " . $parent . "<br>";
$query2 = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders WHERE parent = " . $id . " ORDER BY name ASC" );
while ( $row2 = mysqli_fetch_array( $query2 ) )
{
echo " " . $row2['name'] . "<br>";
}
}
}
?>
I know it's messy, doing the best I can.
DB looks a little like this...
+----+---------+--------+Hope I am in the right area. I am working on a project which is sort of a business directory. I have a category table, a sub-category table then the actual account table. So a user clicks on the category, then selects the sub-category to view information of accounts in that category, and then be able to click to see the full profile. Here's where I am getting stuck. A user may be listed in more than one sub. As an example, let's say a parent is Cars, then subs might be New, Used, Parts, etc. Now a particular user might be listed under all three subs. How can I link them? I have my cat/sub linked via parent/child id's. However, how can I get the user to be linked to multiple subs? Would I need to create a separate table to do similar to parent/child of the categories? If so, then how would I insert the multiple id's into the table? I assume at this point that I would use drop downs for the subs. I am having a real hard time wrapping my head around this so any help is greatly appreciated. I have the following result that I am getting from a source. Code: [Select] SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1 [Name] => Other [Order] => 0 [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=1 ) SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1233916011 [Name] => ceramic [Order] => 1 [ChildCategory] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1234016011 [Name] => dish [Order] => 1 ) [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=13476 ) SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1233917011 [Name] => laminate [Order] => 2 [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=98247 ) I need to get it into a database with the following structure Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent By using Code: [Select] foreach($this->resp->Store->CustomCategories->CustomCategory as $cat) { $sub = $cat->CategoryID; $ord = $cat->Order; $linkto = "$stlink?fsub=$fsub"; $nm = htmlspecialchars($cat->Name); $par=$cat->ChildCategory->Order; $query = "INSERT INTO Cat (categoryID,cName,cOrder,clink,cparent) VALUES ('$sub','$nm','$ord','$linkto','$par')"; $result = @mysql_query ($query); // Run the query. } I can get Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent 1 1 Other 0 http://www.link.com?sub=1 0 2 1233916011 ceramic 1 http://www.link.com?sub=13476 0 2 1233917011 laminate 2 http://www.link.com?sub=98247 0 But I need to get the ChildCategory in there w/ cparent like Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent 1 1 Other 0 http://www.link.com?sub=1 0 2 1233916011 ceramic 1 http://www.link.com?sub=13476 0 3 1234016011 dish 1 1 <--- like this 4 1233917011 laminate 2 http://www.link.com?sub=98247 0 any help appreciated... Hi all. This seems like a pretty basic function but I can't work it out. I'm developing a WordPress site and want to list posts (products) by category. I'm using Advanced Custom Fields and have set up the taxonomy of 'category'. I just want to produce a heading for that category and then list all of the posts with that category assigned. Please see below functions.php excerpt and section-archive.php excerpt. Can anyone please help??? Massive good karma if you can. ----------------------- functions.php -------------------------------------- //Assign Category to Products
function taxonomy ()
$args = array (
}; ?> ------------------------- section-archive.php ------------------------------------------------ <?php if(have_posts()):while(have_posts()): the_post();?>
****** if product category= this ***** Category heading ****** Posts ******* Else ****** if product category= this2 ***** Category heading ****** Posts **** etc

Hello everyone, I am currently working on the script taken from www.phpwebcommerce.com I am only a beginner and have been using it in a little project for an online game just to help my mates be able to trade items and such. I have managed to get almost everything sorted apart from one thing. The function which gets the categories for a drop down select box: Code: [Select] /* Generate combo box options containing the categories we have. if $catId is set then that category is selected */ function buildCategoryOptions($catId = 0) { $sql = "SELECT cat_id, cat_parent_id, cat_name FROM tbl_category ORDER BY cat_id"; $result = dbQuery($sql) or die('Cannot get Product. ' . mysql_error()); $categories = array(); while($row = dbFetchArray($result)) { list($id, $parentId, $name) = $row; if ($parentId == 0) { // we create a new array for each top level categories $categories[$id] = array('name' => $name, 'children' => array()); } else { // the child categories are put int the parent category's array $categories[$parentId]['children'][] = array('id' => $id, 'name' => $name); } } // build combo box options $list = ''; foreach ($categories as $key => $value) { $name = $value['name']; $children = $value['children']; $list .= "<optgroup label=\"$name\">"; foreach ($children as $child) { $list .= "<option value=\"{$child['id']}\""; if ($child['id'] == $catId) { $list.= " selected"; } $list .= ">{$child['name']}</option>\r\n"; } $list .= "</optgroup>"; } return $list; } Basically the problem is that it only creates a category list of two levels e.g. Parent Child and I wish to be able to have more sub categories e.g. Parent Child Child Child Is there anyway of adapting this code so it can do something like that? Many thanks for any help. I have an image gallery with different categories, at the moment the list of categories is simple and just looks like this... General (10) I would like to be able to upload an image when making new categories and display it like this... Can anybody help me with this, here are the pages of code... This is the page that displays the category listing...

Hi, I have been working on a directory/cms script (first large script to build from scratch). I am stuck on a small part of it where is shows users a list of the listings they have put in the directory. Below is the code that generates the table that shows the list of listings which is pulled from the 'listings' table in my database. Code: [Select] <?php ### List of listings user has posted ### if(isset($_SESSION['userlogged'])) { $user_id = $_SESSION['userlogged']; $sqlCommand = "SELECT listing_id, cat_id, listing_title, listing_date, showing FROM listings WHERE showing='0' AND user_id='$user_id' ORDER BY listing_id ASC"; $query = mysql_query($sqlCommand,$con) or die (mysql_error()); $ListingDisplay = ''; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $listing_id = $row["listing_id"]; $cat_id = $row['cat_id']; if ($cat_id == '1') { $cat_name = "Carpenters"; } if ($cat_id == '2') { $cat_name = "Stone Masons"; } if ($cat_id == '3') { $cat_name = "Plumbers"; } if ($cat_id == '4') { $cat_name = "Landscapers"; } $listing_title = $row["listing_title"]; $listing_date = $row["listing_date"]; $ListingDisplay .= ' <tr class="listingaccount"> <td><a href="edit_listing.php?lid=' . $listing_id .

I am thinking some sort of array, but im not quite sure how to go about it and was hoping maybe someone could give me a starting point I could work from. My categories table is like this: -------------------------- | cat_id | cat_name | -------------------------- Many thanks Eoin Hey i want to make category pages with php. so i have embeded youtube videos on my website and i want to make a category so that every embeded link that is named under that category goes on the new web page i am making. so lets say i have a category in my table that is called "Call of duty black ops" would the code be something like this ? ( and yes i want it to be ordered by date aswell ) Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT * FROM `G4V_Videos`.`Category`.`Call of duty black ops` ORDER BY `Date added` DESC LIMIT 24"; $result = mysql_query($query); thanks guys! I'm not sure why but I copied the correct syntax from the wp codex page for it to display the date and title which it displays the titles for the categories however it only displays the date for the headlines category and don't know why.

But what I'd like to do now is keep the H1 blog title on all pages including home page, but I'd like to ammend the title with the addition of the post category, as follows; currently shows "Top Rated Gadgets" on all pages. would like it to show "Top Rated (category name)" when viewing a single post. So if the category of the post was Asus Laptops it would show "Top Rated Asus Laptops" instead of the usual "Top Rated Gadgets" The closest I have got to it so far is with Code: [Select] <?php the_category(', '); ?> but this returns a hyperlink !

This is what I have: $isPrivate = mysql_query("SELECT categoryID FROM mod_cat WHERE isPrivate =1") or die (mysql_error()); while ($isPrivateList = mysql_fetch_array($isPrivate, MYSQL_NUM)) { $ignoreList = $isPrivateList; } However this isn't working at all. I know its wrong I just can't work out how to make it right. This is the mySQL I want to use it with: mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_entries FROM mod_posts WHERE articlePosted =1 AND articleCat != $ignorelist") Could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance. Hello, I am trying create a news article, but I have few category in it.
