Re: [PHP] dynamic menu possible?

2001-09-17 Thread Nikola Veber

Whell, you could use that php script for getting file names and put links toward 
those files in a layer, which can be controled with java. If you are not a java 
expert, 
you can do it with macromedia dreamweaver + extensions. I don't know java, but I 
made a layer based site at http://www.okspartak.f2s.com/moj/
The best thing is that extensions are free ! If you are not sure in the number of 
files, you can use those ext. to make a scrollable meny, which can be a very 
attractive detail.

Cheers

Hi all.
I was wondering if a situation I'll describe below is possible. If it is,
I'm hoping someone could point me to the topics I would need to study to
learn how to do it. I hate to say that right now I don't have the time to
read the Manual or any books cover-to-cover to figure it out...but I do want
to learn how to do things on my own. So if someone could just tell me what
the items I'd need to study are called, I'd really appreciate it.

What I want to do is have a drop-down menu where the options are files
located in a folder on the server that changes as items are added to or
removed. Then the user can select an item from the menu, submit, and that
page will load.
Did that make sense?
So I have 1.htm and 2.htm and 3.htm in a folder. A selectable menu reads the
folder and lists those three files as options. The user can click on it and
submit and that page will load. And if I add 4.htm, the menu will add that
to the drop down on its own.

That that's not possible, how close can I get to something like that?
An example of something close to that I found on www.megatokyo.com . They
have a dropdown menu where a user selects an item and gets sent to that
page. A URL from one attempts shows as
http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?date=2001-09-04 . How is that done?

Again, if I could just be pointed to the related PHP concepts I'll take it
from there.
Thanks!

Your wanted solution is seen in the "phpXML" demo, by Michael
P. Mehl. It is founded at the http://www.phpxml.org/. Try the
exciting "xpath" example!
