[PHP] Tree menu list in php
Hi, is there a way to create a tree menu list only by using php/html/css? I found some, but they are all in JavaScript, do I have to make them by using JavaScript or is there a way in php as well? This is how I imagine the tree menu should look like: v First level Second level Second level v Second level Third level Third level Third level Second level Second level ( = menu is closed, v = menu is open ) Cheers! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If by tree menu you mean to have a menu that interacts with the user and shows the branches, ie, sub-menus as the user clicks on items, then you can't do it with php obviously. OTOH - if you just want a menu with indents and choices similar to an 'outline' , then sure you can do it with php/html/css. But the JS ones are the sharpest ones. There's several out there for free too! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Tree menu list in php
Look at it this way, PHP is just another scripting language, it processes data. That said PHP is not responsible for user interface , it just prints out what you tell him to , it can be HTML XML JSON etc presentation thing is eg HTML and CSS is for styling HTML, JS is to dynamically change structure of HTML or better to say DOM. Though there is a easy way to make menus with HTML5 and CSS3 but most current browsers don't support those new tech stuff , (most browsers do but user are not up to date with freshest ones) If there is a real reason not to use JS, can you make more specific example so we can help.

Re: [PHP] Tree menu list in php
Hi,
I'd like to write my opinion quickly.. My way both usable with and without
JS...
In my structures there is an array of the menu elements similar to:
$menu[gravity][name] = link; - filled from database, easy to handle
to more prof., more params use three-dimensional array...
In the url u can store the selected/expanded (sub)menu but without js its a
little bit slow cause of reload. (good way if js is blocked and users have
high speed conn. or page cached well...)
eg. home?expand=menu_item_id
if (this_menu_item == expanded_item){
show submenus...
}
u can also generate js from php.. or set height, visibility from js for a
*div uploaded from php*...
create an array or use simple innerHTML to show the menu... I suggest
skipping all the js examples (because they are too complicated) and write a
simple script from your mind using basic elements...
eg. simply you have to have a global array...
expanded[menuid] = true;
if (expanded[menuid]){
//innerHTML = submenus;
menu_item.style.height = auto;
menu_item.style.visibilty = visible;
}
or expanded[] = id; //using in_array...
and yes, u can use AJAX to load php to js...
Simple JS code I wrote before it:
function subs(id, len){
var subsa = document.getElementById(id);
var subsap = document.getElementById(id + 'p');
if (subss[id] == true){
subsa.style.visibility = hidden;
subsa.style.height = 10px;
subsap.innerHTML = [+];
subss[id] = false;
} else{
subsa.style.height = (len * 18) + px;
subsa.style.visibility = visible;
subsap.innerHTML = [-];
subss[id] = true;
}
}
used for:
Menu[-]
Sub
Sub
Menu[+]
Menu[+]
*Have a good time with PHP!*

[PHP] pathinfo function
Is it to be expected that, if a file has no extension, and I do this: $info = pathinfo ($myfile); that I will get an error if I try to reference $info[extension] ?? -- Cheers -- Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

From what I can tell via reading the docs: The following associative array elements are returned: dirname, basename, extension (if any), and filename. http://php.net/pathinfo Makes me think that if the extension does not exist, then the extension key will not exist. Looking like isset() (or array_key_exists) will be needed: $foo = (isset($info['extension'])) ? $info['extension'] : ''; At least, that's my take on it. :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
