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>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
