Can anyone help me to figure this out and I need to create dynamic selector (dropdown menu) from book(it will expand to 3 level) to chapter table?
please show me how I could do this and if you can post the sample script too?
Thank you.......
what I have on mysql as follows:
CREATE TABLE book (
ID int(11) DEFAULT \\'0\\' NOT NULL auto_increment,
Name varchar(255),
Graphic varchar(255),
Parent int(11),
Description blob,
DisplayPrecedence int(11),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
CREATE TABLE chapter (
ID int(11) DEFAULT \\'0\\' NOT NULL auto_increment,
Name varchar(255),
NameImage varchar(255),
Description blob,
Keywords blob,
Thumbnail varchar(255),
Graphic varchar(255),
LargeGraphic varchar(255),
DisplayPrecedence int(11),
StillMovie varchar(255),
FiveMovie varchar(255),
ThreeMovie varchar(255),
Active char(1),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
Script that got from other site as follows:
