Hi all,

I am trying to add a dynamic recursive navigation list menu to a site of am working on. The scenerio is that the menu has 2 levels related by a parentid(preid).

My issue is that I can display the 1st level list correctly, however I cannot get the second level to display properly. I am not sure where to add the UL and /UL tags for the second level.

This is what I am after

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
<ul>
  <li>sub item 1</li>
  <li>sub item 2</li>
</ul>
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>item 5</li>
<ul>
  <li>sub item 1</li>
  <li>sub item 2</li>
</ul>
<li>item 6</li>
</ul>

This is actually what i am getting with the below code:

    <ul>
  <li>item 1
    <ul>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>item 2
    <ul>
      <li>sub item 1</li>
      <ul>
      </ul>
      <li>sub item 2</li>
      <ul>
      </ul>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Sports Injuries
    <ul>
    </ul>
  </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Below is the class file I am using to create the menu:

class Dynamic_Menu 
    {
        function getConfig()
        {
            $this->DB_SERVER = 'localhost';
            $this->DB_USER = '***';
            $this->DB_PASS = '***';
            $this->DB_NAME = '***';

        }

        function __construct()
        {
            $this->getConfig();
            $Conn = mysql_connect($this->DB_SERVER, $this->DB_USER, $this->DB_PASS);
            if (!$Conn)
                die("Error: ".mysql_errno($Conn).":- ".mysql_error($Conn));
            $DB_select = mysql_select_db($this->DB_NAME, $Conn);
            if (!$DB_select)
                die("Error: ".mysql_errno($Conn).":- ".mysql_error($Conn));
        }

        function select_row($sql)
        {
            //echo $sql . "<br />";
            if ($sql!="")
            {
                $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Error: ".mysql_errno().":- ".mysql_error());
                if ($result)
                {
                    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
                        $data[] = $row;
                }
                return $data;
            }
        }

        function recordCount($sql)
        {
            if ($sql!="")
            {
                $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Error: ".mysql_errno().":- ".mysql_error());
                if ($result)
                {
                    $cnt = mysql_num_rows($result);
                    return $cnt;
                }
            }
        }

        function getChild($id)
        {
            $menu = "";
            $str = "";
            $s = "SELECT * FROM vcms_sys_explorer WHERE preid = '$id' ";
            $res = $this->select_row($s);
            $menu .= '<ul>';
            for ($i=0;$i<count($res);$i++)
            {
                $cnt_of_child = $this->recordCount("SELECT * FROM vcms_sys_explorer where preid = '".$res[$i][eid]."' ");
                //if ($cnt_of_child > 0)
                //  $str = '';
                //else
                //  $str = " (is sub menu item)";

                $menu .= '<li>'. $res[$i][name].$str.'</li>';   
                $menu .= $this->getChild($res[$i][eid]);
            }
            $menu .= '</ul>';       
            return $menu;
        }

        function getMenu($parentid)
        {
            $menu = "";
            $s = "SELECT * FROM vcms_sys_explorer WHERE preid = '$parentid'  ";
            $res = $this->select_row($s);

            $menu .= '<ul>';

            for ($i=0;$i<count($res);$i++)
            { 
                $menu .= '<li>'.$res[$i][name].$this->getChild($res[$i][eid]).'</li>';
                if ((count($res) - 1) > $i) {
                }
            } 

            $menu .= '</ul>';

            return $menu;
        }
    }

I call the menu with:

$menu = new Dynamic_Menu();
$menu->getMenu(1);

Could someone please help and explain where I need to place the level 2 UL and /UL tags. I have been banging my head with this for the last 2 days. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...
