Amazon like Online Book Store ~~ Need Help

[usgoel]

Hello all !

I am building an online book store in PHP.

I need all the catogories and then sub-categories and then sub and so on just like in Amazon

eg: Books --> Computer --> Software Applications --> Web Development --> Scripting --> PHP

with each categoy forming a web like

Web Development has Scripting, Programming, ... and the list goes on.

Do anyone have idea how i can get all the categories...and sub catogs..... 🙁

As to hazard a guess (working in Publishing/IT myself), I reckon your best guess might be to work by BIC codes and use those as values.

Remember also to make sure that your site is EAN/ISBN-13 compliant ready for when 13 digit ISBNs come through in a couple of years

i usually use nested sets for unlimited trees of data.

I didnot required the way the database is done. I know them

I wanna know what all categories are in books .

I NEED NAMES OF CATEGORIES OF BOOKS....EG. BOOKS-->ART & HUMANITIES
-->COMPUTER APPLICATIONS ETC..

usgoel - that's exactly what I told you. The categorisation of books is done by BIC code - have a look at www.bic.org.uk
