Question

I have represented here below a css menu.php with different levels of the ul li, which is called when I do a include.

and here your code:

<div class="cont_menu">
        <div class="menu">

        <ul>
        <li><a class="hide" href="#" style="font-weight:bold;">CATALOGO</a>

        <!--[if lte IE 6]>
        <a href="../menu/index.html">CATALOGO

        </li>
        </ul>

        </div>


    </div>

the menu has to be dynamic, each User has delegated pages for me, I made these tables in the database to store the menu:

so i do this select:

$p = new DB();
$p->setSQLcommand("SELECT menu_descr,sup_cod,level,menu_link,menu_title
                    FROM acesso
                    WHERE access_id in (SELECT access_id as id
                            FROM cpd_colaborador_acesso
                            WHERE col_cod = ".$_SESSION["colaborador"].")");                    
$t = $p->ExecSelect();

Here I show you a var_dump to the result

array
 0 => 
   array
    'menu_descr' => string 'CATALOGO' (length=8)
    0 => string 'CATALOGO' (length=8)
    'sup_cod' => null
    1 => null
    'level' => string '1' (length=1)
    2 => string '1' (length=1)
    'menu_link' => string '#' (length=1)
    3 => string '#' (length=1)
    'menu_title' => string 'CATALOGO' (length=8)
    4 => string 'CATALOGO' (length=8)
1 => 
  array
    'menu_descr' => string 'CATEG. E PROD.' (length=14)
    0 => string 'CATEG. E PROD.' (length=14)
    'sup_cod' => string '15' (length=2)
    1 => string '15' (length=2)
    'level' => string '2' (length=1)
    2 => string '2' (length=1)
    'menu_link' => string 'http://localhost/compararprecosde/admin 
     /udi_categoria.php?listar=cat_nivel&par=1&op=insert&nivel=1' (length=98)
    3 => string 'http://localhost/compararprecosde/admin
    /udi_categoria.php?listar=cat_nivel&par=1&op=insert&nivel=1' (length=98)
    'menu_title' => string 'Categoria e Produtos' (length=20)
    4 => string 'Categoria e Produtos' (length=20)
2 => 
  array
    'menu_descr' => string 'PROD. S/ CAT.' (length=13)
    0 => string 'PROD. S/ CAT.' (length=13)
    'sup_cod' => string '15' (length=2)
    1 => string '15' (length=2)
    'level' => string '2' (length=1)
    2 => string '2' (length=1)
    'menu_link' => string 'http://localhost/compararprecosde/admin/prod_sem_cat.php'   
    (length=56)
    3 => string 'http://localhost/compararprecosde/admin/prod_sem_cat.php' (length=56)
    'menu_title' => string 'Produtos sem Categoria' (length=22)
    4 => string 'Produtos sem Categoria' (length=22)

Now’s the question I would like to integrate the array of results with ul and li in a foreach () php, considering it’s title in first place and that is level 1, and it’s subcategories, I have no idea how this can be represented in logic programming…

Thank you all..

Answer 1

This may need some tweaking as I don’t have a PHP server available at the moment. I hope it’s at least close to what you need.

<?php
$lastLevel = 0;

foreach($t as $entry)
{
    if($entry['level'] > $lastLevel)
    {
        $lastLevel = $entry['level'];
        echo "<ul>";
    }
    else if($entry['level'] < $lastLevel)
    {
        $lastLevel = $entry['level'];
        echo "</li></ul>";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "</li>";
    }

    echo "<li><a href='" . $entry['menu_link'] . "'>" . $entry['menu_title'] . "</a>";
}

for($x = $lastLevel; $x > 0; $x--)
{
    echo "</li></ul>";
}
?>
