phporcaffeine Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 This has nothing to do with php, google javascript or DHTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelac Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 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.HomeAbout Us Who we are Another SubmenuContact UsVisit UsI don't want any JavaScript but CSS is good. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Do you think you could write your own? Make whatever page you are on have the expanded menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelac Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 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 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelac Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm not sure that would work in my code:<?php $headers = array( 'COMPANY HEADQUARTERS' => 'submenu.php?s=1', 'BELLE HAVEN' => 'submenu.php?s=2', 'DOVER' => 'submenu.php?s=3', 'EASTON' => 'submenu.php?s=4', 'ELKTON' => 'submenu.php?s=5', 'GEORGETOWN' => 'submenu.php?s=6', 'NEWARK' => 'submenu.php?s=7', 'SALISBURY' => 'submenu.php?s=8', 'WILMINGTON' => 'submenu.php?s=9', ); $sub_1 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_2 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_3 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_4 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_5 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_6 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_7 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_8 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); $sub_9 = array( 'Recruiters' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Future Soldiers' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Schools' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'News/Events' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', 'Army Reserve Units' => 'http://usarmy-delmarva.com', ); foreach ( $headers as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='mainmenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>"; if (($key == "COMPANY HEADQUARTERS") && ($s == "1")) { foreach ( $sub_1 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>"; } } if (($key == "BELLE HAVEN") && ($s == "2")) { foreach ( $sub_2 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>";} } if (($key == "DOVER") && ($s == "3")) { foreach ( $sub_3 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>";} } if (($key == "EASTON") && ($s == "4")) { foreach ( $sub_4 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>"; } } if (($key == "ELKTON") && ($s == "5")) { foreach ( $sub_5 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>"; } } if (($key == "GEORGETOWN") && ($s == "6")) { foreach ( $sub_6 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>"; } } if (($key == "NEWARK") && ($s == "7")) { foreach ( $sub_6 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>";} } if (($key == "SALISBURY") && ($s == "8")) { foreach ( $sub_6 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>";} } if (($key == "WILMINGTON") && ($s == "9")) { foreach ( $sub_6 as $key => $value ) { echo "<tr class='submenu'><td><a href='$value'>$key[/url]</td></tr>";} } } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Your code looks fine, but you use $key => $value twice. Try $inside_key => $inside_valueYou are reasigning the $key and $value which is why it is not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelac Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkBait Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Most people use some sorta javascript to make expanding menus without having to refresh the page. Well its all javascript/css etc (DHTML). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
