Category Structure

schumanna

Hi php and mysql fans 🙂

                                    I am wanting to make on my website a list of [B]Categorys[/B] with a pop down box like html <options></options>  I would like the data of the selected user to stord in the MySql database.  But how do I go arounf building this?  I have built quite a few things but nothing like this before becouse they all need to be joined. If that make sence.

Do I make column for each of them or how would the table Structure look like? Maybe some good do an example. 🙂
The Category Structure is in level 1 - 3. I hope this makes sence what I am saying? 🙂

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Orbiter Customization Installation
Scenarios
Solar Systems / Planets
Surface Bases
Addon Development Vessel configuration Spacecraft.dll

Thank you!!!!

I guesse u r a beginner........keep working with php....u r going in the right way

That´s not a bottleneck....

If you want to do that U must know:
- how to get connected to mysql database with php functions : mysql_pconnect/mysql-connect

how to return/write/change something

and few other things

I would suggest u to read the manual PLEASE!

many people don´t like to read, i´m one of those, but the best way to learn is to do it by yourself.

but if u prefer I could send to you an example
