PHP - Creating Flexible Categories And Unlimited Subcategories
Hey all,
If I want to have a category which can have subcategories, which in turn can have its own subcategories or belong to the parent category, and the subcategories can have more than one parent categories, is the most effective way to design this is to create a categories table and categories_join table where the categories table has a foreign key categories_join_id linking it to the categories_join table and the categories_join table has a field called parent_id which associates with the primary key of the categories table, therefore allowing me to have multiple subcategories to one category: categories_join table id parent_id 1 2 1 3 categories table id categories_join_id 1 1 2 2 3 3 So from the example above, the first category has two parents, category 2 and category 3. As an alternative option, in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5384183/database-design-question-categories-subcategories The second answer down mentions to use recursive programming? But he doesn't give an example of what he means. Is he saying you have a function call itself passing it parameters as to what the parent should be: function getParent($category,$parents = array()){ } Thanks for response. Similar TutorialsHow can i make unlimited sub categories when i have this mysql fields: id, name, parent Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT * FROM cats"; $result = mysql_query($query); while ($var = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $var['name']; // now i need here some code for sub cats, but sub cat in subcat :( } Can someone help me? Hello, I am doing (well trying to do, anyway) a script where I need to follow a link, and through its source (file_get_contents) i need to to follow each "category" and into its "subcategory" (and sometimes even SUBsubcategory). Lets say the first in the menu is called "Catfood", the second "Dogfood", you click on "Catfood" and you get a submenu with for example "Whiskas", another one called "Purina Pro", and you click "Whiskas" and you see a list of food called for example "Whiskas Junior Chicken" and "Whiskas Junior Fish". then after i have followed "Whiskas", i need to go back and follow "Purina Pro". then after "Purina Pro" i need to go back to "Dogfood" and do the same to its submenu + subsubmenu + food menu.. so yeah, thats pretty much it basically.. i have already used wget for windows to download the entire website to not put load on it all the time when trying stuff out.. i use RegEx to find categories, their products and price, and i got all that covered, it's just that the website isn't built very friendly for using Regex to tie lets say "Purina Pro" with being in the "Catfood" category, so i have to go through all categories and subcats to save the categories in maybe an array, and bind the subcategories to the main category ("Purina Pro" with "Catfood") i hope this all doesn't sound too errr weird lol, any help is very much appreciated even enough to just get me started on my own! =) ****************** EDIT BELOW: The menu looks a bit like this, though it's orinally not about cat or dogfood, they are just examples Catfood - Whiskas - Purina Pro Dogfood - Royal Canin - Puppy food - Grown - Senior - Bozita Robur Hello,
New to php&mysql here and need a little help.
I want to make category list with sub-categories and sub-sub-categories. The goal is when I load website I will see full list with master(root)categories . Then when I click some categories should load sub-category and if I click on sub-category should load sub-sub-category. Something like this:
Computers -> Motherboards -> Model 1 -> Model 2 -> etc. Monitors -> Model 1 -> Model 2As you can see max level of sub-category will be 2+root. Here is the perfect example what I want to do http://3docean.net/category I don't understand(know) also how exactly will look my database table? How to store categories and sub-categories. I don't want someone to write full code etc as I want to learn it but will be great if you guys can show me some good tutorial how to make it mostly database structure. Thank you in advance! p.s. Sorry for my English! I have two tables subcat and category structure subcat id_subcat|id_of_cat|subcat_name| and for main categories ID_cat|cat_name| now what I want to display them as Main category subcategory1 subcategory2 Main category2 subcategoryX etc... Here's the code I'm using but doesn't work,it doesn't display anything. <?php $query = " SELECT ID_cat, id_subcat, subcat_name, cat_name FROM subcat, category WHERE ID_cat=id_subcat"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $lastCat = null; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { # Check if you need to print the category_name if($lastCat != $row['ID_cat']) { # Not the same category as the last one! # Print it and save the ID $lastCat = $row['ID_cat']; echo "<br />". $row['ID_cat']; } # Print the sub category echo "<br />". $row['subcat_name']; } ?> This topic has been moved to HTML Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=327455.0 Hi everyone ! I am stuck on a task which I'm sure has been achieved by several others in the past. I need to create a category table with unlimited / infinite levels (depths) of categories, sub-categories, sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories and so on. I need to know how to show the category tree through PHP. An example would be great or even a link to another page where someone has laid out a step-by-step tutorial. Please help!

I have a db structure like this cat_id | cat_name | cat_status | parent_id 1 First Test 1 0 2 Just testing 1 0 4 Books 1 2 5 Cars 1 0 6 Ford 1 5 If the parent_id = 0 it is considered to be the parent. If it is a number it is considered a child and referencing the parent I want to be able to query the database and grab the cat and the sub cat and echo it on my page. Its like a classified ads application. Here is my while loop that I currently have which only echo's out the parent category. I would like to echo the child category under the respective parent category. I think I would have to do a loop within a loop, but not sure how to do it.. $query = "SELECT * FROM ad_category WHERE cat_status='1' && Parent_id='0' ORDER BY cat_name"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $cat_name = $row[1]; $cupper = UCWords($cat_name); echo $cupper . "<br>" ; } Thanks for your help in advance Hi, Please help I need to make categories with su-categories I made in my database tables like this table = categories cid | cat_id | parent_list | categ_name | type 1 0 1 General category c 2 1 1,2 sub category s 3 1 1,3 sub category s 4 1 1,2 sub category s 5 1 1,5 sub category s 6 5 1,5,6 sub sub category s 7 0 7 General category2 c 8 7 7,8 sub category s I need to view this in dropdown menu using parent_list column I have been going in circles about how to handle the issue that I have come up with and was hoping that someone could provide a different method. Basically I want to be able to create an infinite number of categories and allow them to be assigned to other categories then making them subcategories/sub sub categories if you will. My initial plan was to use a method I have used before by just saving the parent id of the subcategories and recursively going through the data. However, I am not to fond of this because of the inefficiency that it provides. I did some research and found that method is called the "Adjacency List". I also found another way to do it called "Nested Sets" which seems to be much more efficient but its a little harder to understand / maintain. I was hoping that someone here could offer alternatives to both of these methods that will allow me to keep the efficiency of "Nested Sets" but providing the ease of use / maintenance of the "Adjacency List". Thanks in advance for any help. I'm building a form using ajax that will allow users to add additional rows to their submissions. The problem however is getting PHP to recognize those variables. So that if the user submits 5 rows, it reads and creates a variable for all 5. I'm pretty sure that doing this will involve some form of while() processing and a total row count, but I'm unsure how to name the variables on the form end and how to receive those into PHP without the script erroring out. Suggestions? I was thinking something along the lines of naming each variable something like "number_title" or as an example "5_title." Then using a while function to pull the data from $_POST[$number.'_title']; or something similar, but I'm unsure if that method would even work. Quote
#adf #234432 #fwerfw I have this as a result of a form that has been completed. It might be twice that, it might be much much more. But what I want to do is render it on a page inside Divs. So each one is in a kind of shaded box. The CSS side of it is easy, but how do I extract each one of these into a variable useful means to surround each one by <div>$variable</div>? I thought it might be "explode", but you appear to have to state the [3] number of the variable to show. In this case, it's totally random. We won't be using these as Variables to trigger anything else, it's purely "for display" purposes. Hello to you all, Firstly, I have to admit - I know nothing about PHP coding. That said, I tried to make something work, kinda failed, partly done it, but it's not the way I need it. Let me explain. I'm working on some basic stuff on a woocommerce website. I changed the category tree of the products and now there are categories nested quite deep. Like - Parent category -> Subcategory -> Nested category -> Further nested category. That last piece wasn't showing on the sidebar, so I digged and found the PHP code responsible for showing categories. Upon finding the "Nested category" code, I simply copy-pasted it in a right place and then added CSS "display:block" rule. Now, the "Further nested category" is showing, when "Nested category" is active. But, here are the problems: 1. If there are multiple categories of that last depth for various "Nested categories", they are all showing; 2. When I click on a link of any "Further nested category", the page redirects correctly and shows all the required products, but the category tree is shrinking to "Parent categories" only. The store url is: https://skorpion.info.pl/sklep/. The problem #1 can be seen he https://skorpion.info.pl/kategoria/naczynia-i-przybory/naczynia-kuchenne-naczynia-i-przybory/ - as you can see, both "Garnki" and "Patelnie" nested categories show all of their consecutive further nested subcategories. The problem number two can be seen he https://skorpion.info.pl/kategoria/naczynia-i-przybory/naczynia-kuchenne-naczynia-i-przybory/patelnie-naczynia-kuchenne-naczynia-i-przybory/patelnie-aluminiowe/. The categories should remain visible. Let me post the code below, I'll mark with a comment the block I copy-pasted. I really hope someone can help me here, I would be massively thankful. Cheers! <aside class="sidebarWrapper"> <?php $types = array( 'hendi' => 'Hendi', 'stalgast' => 'Stalgast', 'bartscher' => 'Bartscher', 'kromet' => 'Kromet', 'hiendkitchen' => 'Hiendkitchen', ); ?> <ul class="parent-list"> <?php foreach ($types as $type => $value) : ?> <li> <a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/hurtownie/<?php echo $type; ?>"><?php echo $value; ?></a> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <h2 class="title"> Kategorie <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" id="Layer_1" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 492.004 492.004" style="enable-background:new 0 0 492.004 492.004;" xml:space="preserve" width="512px" height="512px"> <g> <g> <g> <path d="M382.678,226.804L163.73,7.86C158.666,2.792,151.906,0,144.698,0s-13.968,2.792-19.032,7.86l-16.124,16.12 c-10.492,10.504-10.492,27.576,0,38.064L293.398,245.9l-184.06,184.06c-5.064,5.068-7.86,11.824-7.86,19.028 c0,7.212,2.796,13.968,7.86,19.04l16.124,16.116c5.068,5.068,11.824,7.86,19.032,7.86s13.968-2.792,19.032-7.86L382.678,265 c5.076-5.084,7.864-11.872,7.848-19.088C390.542,238.668,387.754,231.884,382.678,226.804z" data-original="#000000" class="active-path" data-old_color="#000000" fill="#F1B63E" /> </g> </g> </g> </svg> </h2> <div class="slideDown-wrapper"> <?php $cate = get_queried_object(); $cateID = $cate->term_id; $cateParentID = $cate->parent; $mainCateParentObject = get_term($cateParentID); $mainCateParentID = $mainCateParentObject->parent; $args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'hide_empty' => false, 'parent' => 0, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'asc' ); $product_cat = get_terms($args); foreach ($product_cat as $parent_product_cat) : ?> <ul class="parent-list"> <li class="<?php if ($parent_product_cat->term_id == $cateID || $parent_product_cat->term_id == $cateParentID || $parent_product_cat->term_id == $mainCateParentID) echo 'active'; ?>"> <a href="<?php echo get_term_link($parent_product_cat->term_id); ?>"> <?php echo $parent_product_cat->name; ?> </a> <?php if ($parent_product_cat->term_id == $cateID || $parent_product_cat->term_id == $cateParentID || $parent_product_cat->term_id == $mainCateParentID) : ?> <ul class="child-list"> <?php $child_args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'hide_empty' => false, 'parent' => $parent_product_cat->term_id ); $child_product_cats = get_terms($child_args); foreach ($child_product_cats as $child_product_cat) : ?> <li class="<?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID || $child_product_cat->term_id == $cateParentID) echo 'active'; ?>"> <a href="<?php echo get_term_link($child_product_cat->term_id); ?>"> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '<strong>'; ?> <?php echo $child_product_cat->name; ?> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '</strong>'; ?> </a> <ul class="child-list"> <?php $child_args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'hide_empty' => false, 'parent' => $child_product_cat->term_id ); $child_product_cats = get_terms($child_args); foreach ($child_product_cats as $child_product_cat) : ?> <li> <a href="<?php echo get_term_link($child_product_cat->term_id); ?>"> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '<strong>'; ?> <?php echo $child_product_cat->name; ?> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '</strong>'; ?> </a> <!-- COPY-PASTED CODE FROM ABOVE--> <!-- --> <!-- --> <ul class="child-list" id="child-4-nest"> <?php $child_args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'hide_empty' => false, 'parent' => $child_product_cat->term_id ); $child_product_cats = get_terms($child_args); foreach ($child_product_cats as $child_product_cat) : ?> <li> <a href="<?php echo get_term_link($child_product_cat->term_id); ?>"> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '<strong>'; ?> <?php echo $child_product_cat->name; ?> <?php if ($child_product_cat->term_id == $cateID) echo '</strong>'; ?> </a> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <!-- END OF COPY-PASTED CODE--> <!-- --> <!-- --> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <?php endif; ?> </li> </ul> <?php endforeach; ?> </div> </aside> <aside class="saleProductsWrapper container p-0"> <h2 class="title">Promocje</h2> <div class="row"> <?php $cate = get_queried_object(); $cateID = $cate->term_id; $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $loop = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => '1', 'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => '_sale_price', 'value' => 0, 'compare' => '>', 'type' => 'numeric' ) ), 'orderby' => 'rand' )); while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post(); ?> <div class="col-lg-12"> <?php get_template_part('template-parts/product'); ?> </div> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?> </div> </aside>
Hi folks, this is my first post to phpfreaks so I wanted to start with a discussion regarding flexible and testable PHP designs, something I'm struggling with. I'm trying to design a couple of components for a PHP project that I'm working on. It relies on the Zend Framework and is covered by PHPUnit tests. I have two sub-systems: video storage manager and user account manager. I need help with the design of these managers. They need to be developed in a way that allows me to swap out the backend (what actually does the video storing / user handling) with minimal changes to systems that depend on these managers. Since I'm using the Zend Framework these managers will be used in various controllers. I'm using PHPUnit to test the controllers (as outlined in the Zend Framework's Documentation- Zend_Test_PHPUnit) and it is possible that the managers' backend will be provided by 3rd party classes (or wrappers around 3rd party classes). So the design must allow the backend to be easily mocked. I'm interested in hearing some of the various approaches for designing the video storage and user account managers and their backend classes / wrappers. - Nick I have a menu-item that links to for example example.com?page=y Then I need my php code to pull that "y" and put it in "include("pages/'$thatpage'.php");" Got this, that doesn't work: if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == $page) { include("pages/'$page'.php"); } else { include("pages/index.php"); } ^ $page should then become the desired page, for example "y" This does though: if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == y) { include("pages/y.php"); } else { include("pages/index.php"); } But i need it to be flexible, so i don't have to update my file every time i add a new page. Lets say that I have an array that I want to convert to a value object My value object class is as follows: /* file UserVO.php*/ class UserVO { public $id; public $email; public function __construct($data) { $this->id = (int)$data['id']; $this->email = $data['email']; } } And I create my array of value objects as follows: /* file UserService.php*/ $array = array( array(...), array(...)); $count = count($array); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { $result[] = new UserVO($array[$i]); } return $result; OK, so this all works fine. However, I'd like to specificy the VO that is to be created dynamically, so that I can have a single dynamic function to create my VO's. Something like: $ret = create_vo($array, 'UserVO'); function create_vo($data, $vo) { $count = count($data); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { $result[] = new $vo($array[$i]); //this obviously wont work...Class name must be a valid object or a string } return $result; } I realise that I could do this with a switch statement (iterating through all my VO's)...but there is no doubt a much much more elegant solution. It would also be supercool if I could lazy load the VO's as needed, instead of having multiple 'includes' Any help much appreciated.

well i hope i was able to make clear what i want to achieve: can i use the code snippet to create the db table - we could use this to pick up any additional columns added to your pois table $sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM pois"; $fields = array(); $res = $db->query($sql); while ($row = $res->fetch_row()) { $fields[] = $row[0]; }note: i need to have a robust way - where i can cope with xmlfiles that are full with additionals tags /(that make it necessary to have more collumns added. I look forward to hear from you many many greetings I have two tables, one called Categories and one called SubCategories. Each subcategory needs to be displayed under its parent category in a HTML table. So I have this code, but I don't know how to list each Sub-Category under each Category in a HTML table. <?php require ('includes/initialize.php'); require 'classes/database.class.php'; $sql = "SELECT * FROM Categories, SubCategories WHERE Categories.ID = SubCategories.CatID"; $Result = $database->Query($sql); $Data = $database->Fetch($Result); ?> Hi there, I have a piece of code that takes all posts with the category of 'model' and puts it on the models page. It then displays the post as a gallery using fancy box. The problem is I want all posts with the category of 'faces' to go on the faces page, but at the moment they are appearing on both pages. Here is the code I have. Any help will guarantee a donation as I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. Code: [Select] <?php global $post; $args = array( 'numberposts' => 8, 'offset' => 0, 'category' => 'models', 'orderby' => 'post_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish' ); $posts_array = get_posts( $args ); $x = 1; // track model foreach( $posts_array as $post ) { setup_postdata($post); ?> <div id="model-thumb"> <?php $arg2 = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, 'order' => 'ASC', 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => $post->ID ); $attachments = get_posts($arg2); if ($attachments) { $i = 1; // track images foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) { $image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, 'full' ); if ($i == 1) { // Get thumbnail info to display with second image $img1src = $image_attributes[0]; $img1w = $image_attributes[1]; $img1h = $image_attributes[2]; } elseif ($i == 2) { // Display thumbnail with link to second image ?> <a class="allModels" rel="gallery<?php echo $x; ?>" href="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>" ?><img src="<?php echo $img1src; ?>" width="<?php echo $img1w; ?>" height="<?php echo $img1h; ?>"/></a><br /><p><?php the_content();?></p></div> <?php } else { // Other images ?> <div style="display:none;"><a class="allModels" rel="gallery<?php echo $x; ?>" href="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image_attributes[0]; ?>" width="<?php echo $image_attributes[1]; ?>" height="<?php echo $image_attributes[2]; ?>"/></a></div> <?php } $i++; // Increase image count } } $x++; // Increase model count } ?> Hi guys I need help writing a php script I have a table 'categories' with fields 'id' 'cat_name' 'parent_id' the 'parent_id' is just an the id field.. I want to create a way to have unlimited sub categories so I can have categorie -> sub-categories categories -> sub-categories -> sub-categories categories -> products |
