ldrrp Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 i am storing my menu in the database, i want to be able to output it by priority, heres so far what i have. I have no idea were to start. Database dump: -- -- Table structure for table `menu` -- CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `menu` ( `menu_access_lvl` int(2) NOT NULL, `priority` int(11) NOT NULL, `name` varchar(200) NOT NULL, `comment` text NOT NULL, `location` text NOT NULL, `creator_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; -- -- Dumping data for table `menu` -- INSERT INTO `menu` (`menu_access_lvl`, `priority`, `name`, `comment`, `location`, `creator_id`) VALUES (0, 1, 'Home Page', 'Home page', 'index.php', 'admin'), (0, 3, 'Contact', 'Contact', 'index.php?PG=contact', 'admin'), (0, 2, 'Events & Meetings', 'Events & Meetings', 'index.php?PG=events', 'admin'), (0, 4, 'About', 'About', 'index.php?PG=about', 'admin'), (2, 5, 'Admin', 'Admin', 'index.php?PG=admin', 'admin'); And here is the php code displaying it //gets the role of the user if set, otherwise role = 0 if(isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']))$lvl = $_SESSION['SESS_ROLE']; else $lvl = 0; // this loads the menu buttons that correspond to the users role $menuqry="SELECT * FROM menu WHERE menu_access_lvl<='$lvl'"; $menuresult=mysql_query($menuqry); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($menuresult)){ echo "<li class=\"menuitem\"><a href=\"".$row['location']."\">".$row['name']."</a></li>"; } What this currently displays: Home Contact Events & meetings About I want it to be according to priority in the menu like: Home Events & meetings Contact About Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/254157-displaying-menu-from-mysql-by-priority/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
