Re: Dynamic Navigation w/PHP

Well, I don't really get what is your problem here. :-) You said people must 'enable' pages to have it available. Is it not only a matter of checking this 'enabled' flag? For example a database table with a column named 'enabled', and others 'link' and 'text': (example for mysql) <?php $sql = 'SELECT link, page FROM menu WHERE enabled = 1'; $res = mysql_query($sql); while(list($link,$page) = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { // Construct the menu ?> <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php echo $text; ?></a><br/> </php } ?> The only thing I see different is the 'enabled' at the $sql command, telling only to select links that were selected to be show. I guess you would also want to put 'AND user = $some_user' to select only links for a previous autheticaded user. -- Julio Nobrega No matter where you go, &this.
