This appears like a typical JavaScript thing to me. If you insist on not using
JS, you could probably use AJAX+PHP to do it.
However, JavaScript appears to me as the more convenient method.

If by "tree menu" you mean to have a menu that interacts with the user and
shows the "branches", ie, sub-menus as the user clicks on items, then you
can't do it with php obviously. OTOH - if you just want a menu with
indents and choices similar to an 'outline' , then sure you can do it with
php/html/css. But the JS ones are the sharpest ones. There's several out
there for free too!

Look at it this way, PHP is just another scripting language, it
processes data.
That said PHP is not responsible for user interface , it just prints
out what you tell him to , it can be HTML XML JSON etc
presentation thing is eg HTML and CSS is for styling HTML, JS is to
dynamically change structure of HTML or better to say DOM.
Though there is a easy way to make menus with HTML5 and CSS3 but most
current browsers don't support those new tech stuff , (most browsers
do but user are not up to date with freshest ones)
If there is a real reason not to use JS, can you make more specific
example so we can help.

This is how I imagine the tree menu should look like:
v First level
Second level
Second level
v Second level
Third level
Third level
Third level
Second level
Second level

try!

I suggest you look up what the J in AJAX stands for!

Hi,
I'd like to write my opinion quickly.. My way both usable with and without
JS...
In my structures there is an array of the menu elements similar to:
$menu[gravity][name] = link; - filled from database, easy to handle
to more prof., more params use three-dimensional array...
In the url u can store the selected/expanded (sub)menu but without js its a
little bit slow cause of reload. (good way if js is blocked and users have
high speed conn. or page cached well...)
eg. home?expand=menu_item_id
if (this_menu_item == expanded_item){
show submenus...
}
u can also generate js from php.. or set height, visibility from js for a
*div uploaded from php*...
create an array or use simple innerHTML to show the menu... I suggest
skipping all the js examples (because they are too complicated) and write a
simple script from your mind using basic elements...
eg. simply you have to have a global array...
expanded[menuid] = true;
if (expanded[menuid]){
//innerHTML = "submenus";
menu_item.style.height = "auto";
menu_item.style.visibilty = "visible";
}
or expanded[] = id; //using in_array...
and yes, u can use AJAX to load php to js...
Simple JS code I wrote before it:
function subs(id, len){
var subsa = document.getElementById(id);
var subsap = document.getElementById(id + 'p');
if (subss[id] == true){
subsa.style.visibility = "hidden";
subsa.style.height = "10px";
subsap.innerHTML = "[+]";
subss[id] = false;
} else{
subsa.style.height = (len * 18) + "px";
subsa.style.visibility = "visible";
subsap.innerHTML = "[-]";
subss[id] = true;
}
}
used for:
Menu[-]
Sub
Sub
Menu[+]
Menu[+]

Look, I know this is loopy and I haven't tried it (for the protection of my
sanity, mainly), but how about the tree being an image generated using PHP, and
then used as an image map to submit the page every time a click is made on the
image - you could then use the coordinates of the click to determine the new
state of the tree and render an appropriate image for it...
I'll get my coat...

Is it to be expected that, if a file has no extension, and I do this:
$info = pathinfo ($myfile);
that I will get an error if I try to reference $info["extension"] ??

"The following associative array elements are returned: dirname,
basename, extension (if any), and filename."
<http://php.net/pathinfo>
Makes me think that if the extension does not exist, then the
"extension" key will not exist.
Looking like isset() (or array_key_exists) will be needed:
$foo = (isset($info['extension'])) ? $info['extension'] : '';
At least, that's my take on it. :)

Just like any other array you'll get a notice:
Notice: Undefined index: extension
