[RESOLVED] creating multi arrays... and a menu from them

Yari

I've got this menu array for a website with multiple levels... not just 2 deep, it could be 3 or 4 deep.

Here's the array I created from my database... but perhaps it should be more of multiple array??

How to get this to show each sublevel properly?
Array's in CAPS are those with sublevels...

Thanks for any guidance on this.

You need to build a recursive function. Every time the function is called, it checks to see if this is a menu item or a menu header. (You know it's a menu header if it has sub items). If it's a menu item, then print it. If it's a menu header, then pass the value to the function again. When a function has a command that calls itself, it will drill down now matter how many sub menus deep your array goes.

or Google for recursive function array

Thank you, I will look into that and let you know how I get on.

Yep, that ended up working for me... and rather than trying to save the menus into an array, then print them out again, I just printed direct from the database as it went recursively over the data, worked great!

Thanks etully,
