How to create a static html menu from a database


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I have built a small cms which allows me to create simple html pages and then upload them to an ftp.

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
Everything is working apart from the menu, I cant get my head round how to create the menu system. The outputted file is a static html file that wont be connected to a database, so I need to retrieve the information from the database then write this information in standard html to a page before it is sent to the ftp.

I have looked through the forum and the net and can't find a solution, can anyone help?

CODE//// (which I know is incorrect, but kind of works and should hopefully show what I mean)

$page_name = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE page_display = 'yes' ORDER BY page_order ASC")
or die(mysql_error());


while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $page_name ))
{
$page[] = $info[page_name];
}

$navigation = <<<EOD


<li>$page[0]</li>
<li>$page[1]</li>
<li>$page[2]</li>
<li>$page[3]</li>


EOD;
