shocker-z Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 im not sure how you would do this using dreamweaver interface but heres a way you should be able to do it using PHP coding [!--PHP-Head--][div class=\'phptop\']PHP[/div][div class=\'phpmain\'][!--PHP-EHead--] $alphabet=(\'A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z\'); $query=mysql_query(\"select distinct(initial) FROM table\"); while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $initial=$r[\'intial\']; $links=str_replace(\"$initial\",\"<a href=\\"$initial.php\\">$initial</a>\",$alphabet); } echo(\"$links\"); [/span][!--PHP-Foot--][/div][!--PHP-EFoot--] that *should* work you will just have to change the table name, field name and so on Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2476-display-initials-navigation-menu-with-links-or-not/#findComment-8224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djavet Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Just a little question: on "select distinct(initial) FROM table" is initial a DB field name or a funciton? I use Mysql and not Coldfusion.

shocker-z Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 intial is just the field, i was working along the lines that you already have an intial field Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2476-display-initials-navigation-menu-with-links-or-not/#findComment-8227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djavet Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hello I try you code in this way: <?php require_once('../../Connections/connect.php'); ?> <?php mysql_select_db($database_connect, $connect); $query_rsInitials = "SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(LEFT(organisation,1)) FROM contacts ORDER BY organisation ASC"; $rsInitials = mysql_query($query_rsInitials, $connect) or die(mysql_error()); $row_rsInitials = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsInitials); $totalRows_rsInitials = mysql_num_rows($rsInitials); ?> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <?php $alphabet=('A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z'); while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($rsInitials)) { $initial=$r['organisation']; $links=str_replace("$initial","<a href=\"$initial.php\">$initial</a>",$alphabet); } echo("$links"); ?> </body> </html> <?php mysql_free_result($rsInitials); ?> And I receive for every letter the error: Notice: Undefined index: organisation in g:\elce\www.website.ch\cms\address\letters.php on line 18 Any idea where I'm wrong?

djavet Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I found! I must change my query to: SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(LEFT(organisation,1)) AS organisation FROM contacts and then change all $links to $alphabet. It's working now. Thx a lot.
