website directory link

Alidad

hi, I just research myself of how to write website directory link but i could not find something that i can learn myself in php.

please take look the sample site at http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/software/link-management/lma/demo/ i do not want to use that code becuase is not help me to learn myself, i was wondering does any one can help me to write basic code where i can understand how to write website directory from link to link.

for sample they are three different kind of categories (categories, sub-categories, second-sub-categories) then input information of name, email address and discriptions relate to that categories. then show that comment.

I really to undersand the code, does anyone can write simple basic code where i can understand myself so i can write myself from there. if you know the simple code with discriptions from other website, please provide me the link thanks.

the structure of such a directory
is very much alike a filesystem:

each directory can have:
/subdirectories/
files

it is also very much like how forums work:
forum cat1
forum_1a - topics
forum_1b - topics
forum cat2
forum_2a - topics
forum_2b - topics

this could be created in a database virtually
using tables

I dont know exactly how to.
But tables could be:
- main_category
- sub1_category
- sub2_category

each subx_category row would have a field pointing to parent_cat
sub2_category would have a parent in sub1_category
sub1_category would have a parent in main_category

This case is mainly a matter of organising a database structure.
In form of a tree.
I am sure this has been done 1.000 of times before.

Have you looked at some of the directory stuff in PHP ?

scandir()
opendir()
readdir()
closedir()

I think if you check those out, you'll be able to come up with the tools necessary to build your utility without creating a database to do so. Arrays are a wonderful thing.
