Darkness Soul Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yo,Hmmm, make a default categorie.. maybe the first found.. and, you will need one page.. with the table, if ALL products of ALL categories are children of the products table.. if some field change.. you may have a layout problem.. ;)so.. use a [b]SELECT id, title FROM categories ORDER BY categories[/b]..The result.. create your menu!=) D.Soul Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7869-help-with-menus/#findComment-28675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
poirot Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 If you want it to expand with no need to refresh the browser or open a link, you would have to use Javascript (and to retrieve all the products from all categories upon page load).If not, you can make the a link for each category (like: ?cat=1), retrieve the chosen category ($_GET['cat']) and use this value to find all the products for the category (SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE category = "$_GET['cat']") Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7869-help-with-menus/#findComment-28676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it have no real problem.. but.. x-x"If you want to do it (click on categorie and its drop down the data), think about use iframe to suporte dinamic querys.. then, when you click the categorie, its load the right query and recover the data.. I have no code sample with me here.. but look for it, is not a rare thing.. ^~=3 D.Soul Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7869-help-with-menus/#findComment-28713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
