[PHP] Dynamic Navigation w/PHP
Hello All, I am looking for example code demonstrating the ability to dynamically modify website navigation based upon data in a database. Specifically what I am trying to figure out is how to control what pages are available based upon whether they have been enabled in the database. I am developing a template driven website, with content controlled by the database which indicates what the customer has opted for. While ten pages might be available and part of the web site template, a given customer may have only paid for four, thus when his site is hit, only those four pages will be available in the navigation elements. Should the customer care to request an additional feature (page), simply accessing the database and enabling it would make it immediately available. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Michael

Hi, You could try using a DHTML menu like the one at http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu The array of elements needed can be generated using PHP based on certain criteria. Let me know if you or anybody else would like a PHP script creating so that you could generate menus based on values that you have in PHP.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Navigation w/PHP
My website has a navigation menu that is written to the browser depending on
what vars are set in the php script. I store all the link names in an
array, then simply do a 'foreach' loop to write the output. This would
allow me to add another menu item by just adding it into the array.
Simple example:
foreach($linkname as $key = $value)
{
echo a href={$linkname[$key]}.php{$linkname[$key]}/ABR\n;
}
You could do something similar to this, when you want a menu item to be
enabled you could append it to the array.
