Zend menus

Anon

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone know how to code menus like those on http://www.zend.com. I guess they're using php in combination with javascript... but how are they doing it? If somebody knows anything I would appreciate some hints.

Any clue?

if you look through zend's java script you'll find a reference to the menu systems origin..
it all comes from http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/

if you want to make it php dynamic, then use a php page as one of the script sources.
as long as the type is declared all will be fine.

How do you use a php page as a script source. Do you mean rename the .js file to .php and call it like that?

hi,
javascript is just another text based data stream as far as the system is concerned. it is only when the text is read by the browser parser, that it becomes a programming language.
bascialy you have the right idea.
so in your javascript link, set the type as text/javascript and set the source to you javascript generating php page.

hope that clears things up.

How do i get the menus to propagate PHPSESSID. If I use PHPSESSID=$SessionID a new session is created everytime a link within the DHTML menus is followed. (I'm using "echo" statements in hierArrays.php - which is just phpized hierArrays.js). I compiled php with --enable-trans-sid and have all my session code in an include file which is used in hierArrays.php and all my other php pages.
