PHP expanding navigation menu

[angelac]

Does anyone know where I can find an expanding navigation menu?

This has nothing to do with php, google javascript or DHTML

I'm looking for a PHP expanding navigation menu.  I want to use it in my pages using an include but I can't seem to find one that stays expanded on certain pages to let visitors choose from the submenus that apply to that page. 

Example: if someone visits the About Us page, I want the submenus to stay expanded so they can still choose from them without having to click About Us to expand the menu again.

Home
About Us
  Who we are
  Another Submenu
Contact Us
Visit Us

I don't want any JavaScript but CSS is good.  Any ideas?

[Hi I Am Timbo]

Do you think you could write your own?  Make whatever page you are on have the expanded menu?

[angelac]

I'm looking for a menu just like this:

http://www.indiana.edu/%7Ecareer/students/more/

The one on the left.  As you click on a link, the page changes and submenus are displayed.  A visitor can also tell what section they are in by looking at this menu.  I'd like something like that but I don't want to use Javascript, I know that they did in this one. 

I have one very similar to this here: http://mprirecdiv.com/php/submenu.php but I'm not sure how to keep it stuck once a user visits another page.  If I'm using an include, the menu always resets.

[Hi I Am Timbo]

Just use if statements.

[code]
<?php
$page = 'home';

echo '<a href="home.php">Home</a>';
if($page == 'home')
{
echo '<a href="link1.php">Link 1</a>';
echo '<a href="link2.php">Link 2</a>';
echo '<a href="link3.php">Link 3</a>';
}

echo '<a href="about.php">About Us</a>';
if($page == 'about')
{
echo '<a href="link1.php">Link 1</a>';
echo '<a href="link2.php">Link 2</a>';
echo '<a href="link3.php">Link 3</a>';
}

[/code]

I'm not sure that would work in my code:

[Hi I Am Timbo]

Your code looks fine, but you use $key => $value twice. 

Try $inside_key => $inside_value

You are reasigning the $key and $value which is why it is not working.

[angelac]

There is nothing in my code that tells it to stay expanded if it's on a certain section. 

When I use the $key => $value, that is simply to populate my links with my arrays.

No one knows of a php expanding menu?

[SharkBait]

Most people use some sorta javascript to make expanding menus without having to refresh the page.  Well its all javascript/css etc (DHTML).
