generating the menu_data file using mysql and php


Poster: System7
Dated: Tuesday November 18 2003 - 19:28:23 GMT

ok i hope someone can help

i know this is possible cuz the milonic site does it well i assume they do because in there source you can see menu_data.php as there script source

k so in my main page i have this

Code:
<?
      $sql = "SELECT * FROM menu WHERE menuname = 'mainmenu'";
           $result = mysql_query($sql);
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))  {
            if ($row[4] != ""){ //row[4] = showmenu, if showmenu!="" then
               echo "<a href=\"$row[3]\" class=\"menu\" onmouseover=\"popup('$row[4]',1)\" onmouseout=popdown()>$row[2]</a>\n";
            }
            else { //row[4] = showmenu, if showmenu="" then
               echo "<a href=\"$row[3]\" class=\"menu\">$row[2]</a>\n";
            }
         }
   ?>      


k now that works fine
the tables in my database are set up like so
id , menuname , title , url , showmenu

now in my menu_data.php file i have the following

Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500           // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150            // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5                // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=40                // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=10              // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10            // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3               // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20               // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x


with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#EDEDED";
oncolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#3D3D3D";
offcolor="#E5E5E5";
padding=1;
fontsize=11;
fontstyle="normal";
separatorsize=10;
separatorcolor="#3D3D3D";
fontfamily="Arial Narrow";
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)";
outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
}

<?
   $i=0;
   $sql = "SELECT * FROM menu WHERE menuname != 'mainmenu'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
   while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))  {
      $name[$i] = $row[1];
      $sql .= " && menuname != '$name[$i]' ";      
      echo "with(milonic=new menuname(\"$row[1]\")){\n";
      echo "style=menuStyle;\n";
      echo "overflow=\"scroll\";\n";
      $sql2 = "SELECT * FROM menu WHERE menuname = '$name[$i]'";
       $result2 = mysql_query($sql2);         
      $i++;   
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result2))  {
         if($row[4] == "" && $row[3] != ""){
            echo "aI(\"text=$row[2];url=$row[3];\");\n";
         } elseif ($row[4]!="" && $row[3] != "") {
            echo "aI(\"text=$row[2];\");\n";
         } elseif ($row[4]!="" && $row[3] = "") {
            echo "aI(\"text=$row[2];showmenu=$row[4];\");\n";
         }
      }
      echo "}\n";
      
   }
?>
drawMenus();


now this works except theres one problem that i thought the line
Code:
$sql .= " && menuname != '$name[$i]' ";
would solve but it hasnt. the problem is that for ever element under a menu it creates that many menu's heres a sample of what my menu_data.php file looks like if you view teh source after this script as run
Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500           // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150            // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5                // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=40                // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=10              // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10            // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3               // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20               // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x


with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#EDEDED";
oncolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#3D3D3D";
offcolor="#E5E5E5";
padding=1;
fontsize=11;
fontstyle="normal";
separatorsize=10;
separatorcolor="#3D3D3D";
fontfamily="Arial Narrow";
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)";
outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
}

with(milonic=new menuname("area_office")){
style=menuStyle;
overflow="scroll";
aI("text=CPAC;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=CPAC;");
aI("text=AMT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AMT;");
aI("text=AHT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AHT;");
}
with(milonic=new menuname("area_office")){
style=menuStyle;
overflow="scroll";
aI("text=CPAC;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=CPAC;");
aI("text=AMT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AMT;");
aI("text=AHT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AHT;");
}
with(milonic=new menuname("area_office")){
style=menuStyle;
overflow="scroll";
aI("text=CPAC;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=CPAC;");
aI("text=AMT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AMT;");
aI("text=AHT;url=index.php?page=area_office&section=AHT;");
}


so you can see it is creating a menu for each item in the menu if anyone can help me fix this it would be a great help right now i cant think of what
