PHP - Ul List With Nested Ul List (subcategories)

hello. i have a list that is pulling info from a db but the sub levels are not showing correctly.


basically there are titles that could be in any order
then under each title there are lists that could be in any order
then some of the lists might also have nested lists which could be in any oder.


its not the full html yet but I'm stuck because it echoes out the titles fine but the links are not being listed under each title. all the links are being listed under the first title only.


Code: [Select]

$PCa = PageContent::find_by_pageContID($PCidA);

foreach ($PCa as $PCas) {
$title = $PCas->title;
$link = $PCas->link;

echo'
<div class="arrowlistmenu">';
if (!empty($title)) {
echo'
<h3 class="menuheader expandable">'."{$title}".'</h3>';
}
if (!empty($link)) {
echo'
<ul class="categoryitems">
<li><a href="#">'."{$link}".'</a></li>
</ul>';
}
echo'</div>';
}







this is an example of the html.

Code: [Select]
<div class="NAV">

<h3>CAT TITLE</h3>

<ul class="CAT ITEM">
<li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>CATT TITLE</h3>
<ul class="CAT ITEM">
<li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="SUB CAT">NESTED LEVEL TITLE</a>
<ul class="SUB CAT ITEM" style="margin-left: 15px">
<li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">LINK</a></li>
</ul>

</div>




thanks

Hi,
In my mysql database i have a text input option, in the registration form and edit my details form i have a multiple select dropdown list, which user selects options to populate the text input box, which ultimately populates the text field in the mysql database.
All works perfectly.

The dropdownlist consists of 3 parts <optgroups> first is current selection (what is the usesr current selection)works fine, The second <optgroup> is existing words, what words we(the site) have given as options, and the third <optgroup> is the words that others have used. This is where im having a small problem.
Because its a text field when i call the data from the database, it calls the entire text box as a single option in my select list..

I want to break the words in the text field (at the comma) and have them listed each one as an option in the select list.


Example what i need:

Words in text box:(my input allows the "comma")
word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, word6,

How i want them called/displayed:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

here's my code:
$query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $original_functionsexperience =doSelectSql($query,1);
         $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $functionsexperiencelist=doSelectSql($query);
          $funcexpList ="<select multiple=\"multiple\" onchange=\"setFunctionsexperience(this.options)\">";   
         foreach ($functionsexperiencelist as $functionsexperienceal)
            {
            $selected="";
            if ($functionsexperienceals->allwords == $original_functionsexperience)
               $selected=' selected="selected"';
            $allwords=$functionsexperienceal->allwords;
            $funcexpList .= "<optgroup label=\"Current selection\">
            <option value=\"".$allwords."\" ".$selected." >".$allwords."</option>
            </optgroup>      
              <optgroup label=\"Existing Words\">
              <option value=\"existing1,\">existing1</option>
              <option value=\"existing2,\">existing2</option>
              <option value=\"existing3,\">existing3</option>
              <option value=\"existing4,\">existing4</option>
              <option value=\"existing5,\">existing5</option>
              <option value=\"existing6,\">existing6</option>
         </optgroup>
         <optgroup label=\"Others added\">    //heres problem
         <option value=\"".$allwordsgeneral."\">".$allwordsgeneral."</option>
         </optgroup>";
            }
         $funcexpList.="</select>";
         $output['FUNCEXPLIST']=$funcexpList;         
      
         
   The result im getting for optgroup others added:
   word1, word2, word3, word4, word5,

how can i get it like this:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

Hi , I have one question .. Can I split showing of content of dynamic list in 2 parts , when I echo list in code ..

Code: [Select]
<?php 
// Run a select query to get my letest 8 items
// Connect to the MySQL database  
include "../connect_to_mysql.php"; 
$dynamicList = "";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 8");
$productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount
if ($productCount > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ 
             $id = $row["id"];
 $product_name = $row["product_name"];
 $price = $row["price"];
 $date_added = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row["date_added"]));
 $dynamicList .= '<table width="100%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
        <tr>
          <td width="17%" valign="top"><a href="product.php?id=' . $id . '"><img style="border:#666 1px solid;" src="inventory_images/' . $id . '.jpg" alt="' . $product_name . '" width="77" height="102" border="2" /></a></td>

            $' . $price . '<br />
            <a href="product.php?id=' . $id . '">View Product Details</a></td>
        </tr>
      </table>';
    }
} else {
$dynamicList = "We have no products listed in our store yet";
}
mysql_close();
?>


Code: [Select]
<p><?php echo $dynamicList; ?><br />
</p>
It works ok, and putting my files, everything works, but when I put 8 pictures with price and other details, it just show one image with details and another image below with details, and the third image below and so on ..
Can I split dynamic list to show 4 images with details on the left side and 4 on the right side?

Thank you in advance for help , if is possible

Hi, I use the following code to create a select menu from an array of options stored in LISTS.php:


include 'LISTS.php';

print('<select id="from" name="from">');
foreach ($langList as $lang) {printf('<option %s>%s</option>', 
     ($from1 == $lang ? 'selected="selected"' : ''), $lang);
     }
echo '</select>';


where LISTS.php includes the following:
$langList = array(' ','English', 'French', 'German', 'Dutch', 'Spanish');

This works great, but now I want to do something similar with a checkbox list, where each checkbox has an associated 'onchange' javascript function and I'm getting pretty stuck.

My checkbox list is of the following form:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<ul style="height: 95px; overflow: auto; width: 200px; border: 1px solid #480091; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
    <li id="li1b"><label for="chk1b"><input name="chk1b" id="chk1b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk1b','li1b')">Option1</label></li>
    <li id="li2b"><label for="chk2b"><input name="chk2b" id="chk2b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk2b','li2b')">Option2</label></li>
//etc.
 </ul>
</html>
What I want to do is have 'Option1', 'Option2', etc. stored in an array in LISTS.php and have a PHP script that populates the checkbox list accordingly, in a similar manner to my select menu above. I can't work out how to get the ID of the next <li> and the next <input> in the list to go up by one each time, e.g. 'li1b' then 'li2b', 'li3b', etc.

Could someone pls help me out? Thanks!
