drop-down navigation menu with HTML PHP MySQL



EDIT FIXED by user @jeroen You have to move the li and a tags inside the while loop.





Thank you for this, F4LLCON





So the final code (not so clean, but works now):







<?php

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `apps` ");

while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))

{

?>

<li><a href="">

<?php

echo $query_row['TITLE'];

?>

</a>

</li>

<br />

<?php

}

?>







I want a drop-down menu that will show the TITLES out of my MySQL database. I know how to do everything concerning the ID etc.





The only problem is that the PHP version of the drop-down menu will SELECT all the TITLES in my database and parse it as ONE link.





So instead of







Home

>About

>Contact

>Another







it will look like







Home

>About

Contact

Another







With other words







Home

>About Contact Another







It will not make multiple drop-down links but only one drop-down link





If you for example do:







<div>

<?php

echo $query_row['TITLE'];

?>

</div>







It will make a individual <div></div> for every TITLE in my database, so I thought this method would also work for the drop-down links..





Does anybody know how to fix it so it will make individual <li></li> for every TITLE?





Here is a normal drop-down menu:







<li id="media"><a href=""></a>

<ul>

<li id="1a"><a href="">About</a></li>

<li id="1b"><a href="">Contact</a></li>

<li id="1b"><a href="">Another</a></li>

</ul>

</li>







And here is the PHP drop-down menu:







<li id="media"><a href=""></a>

<ul>

<li>

<a href="">

<?php

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `apps` ");

while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))

{

echo $query_row['TITLE'];

?>

<br />

<?php

}

?>

</a>

</li>

</ul>

</li>

  1. You have to move the li and a tags inside the while loop.

    echo '<li><a href="">' . $query_row['TITLE'] . '</a></li>';

  2. <li id="media"><a href=""></a>
    <ul>
    <?php
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `apps` ");
    while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
    {
    echo "<li><a href=''>" . $query_row['TITLE'] ."</a></li>";
    }
    </ul>
    </li>

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
