[Sycoloco]

This is the PHP CODE

<?
include ('./config.php');
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ava_cats ORDER BY name");
$total_cats = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM ava_cats"),0);
$total_cats2 = 0;

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$total_cats2 = ($total_cats2 + 1);
	if($seo_on == 0)
	{
	echo ' <a href="'.$site_url.'/index.php?cat_id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['name'].'</a> ';
	}
	else 
	{
		$abcd= $row['name'];
		$abcd = str_replace (" ", "-", $abcd);	
		echo ' <a href="'.$site_url.'/cat/'.$row['id'].'/'.$abcd.'/p1.htm">'.$row['name'].'</a> ';
	}
	if ($cat_numbers == 1) 
	{
	$cat_numb = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM ava_games WHERE catergory_id=".$row['id'].""),0);
	echo '<em>('.$cat_numb.')</em>';
	}
	if($total_cats2 != $total_cats) 
	{
		echo ' |';
	}
}
?>

 

and this is the HTML CODE

<div class="TFHmenu2">
<ul><li style="float: right;">
<li><a href="#" class="selected">LINK 1</a></li> 
<li><a href="#" >LINK 2</a></li> 
<li><a href="#">LINK 3</a></li> 
<li><a href="#">LINK 4</a></li> 
<li><a href="#">LINK 5</a></li>

</ul> </div>
