I have done it this way...
$menu = array();
$count = $db->num_rows();
for($i = 0; $db->next_record(); $i++)
{
$menu[$i]["name"] = $db->f("name");
$menu[$i]["url"] = $db->f("topic_id");
}
OK, so is there a better way of acheiving the same end result?
and this is what I've got to print the results
while ( list($name, $subarray) = each($menu) )
echo "<a
href=\"".$subarray["url"]."\">".$subarray["name"]."<a><br>\n";
}
is there any better way of doing this??
thanks
