Question

I want to have a dynamic menu that feeds from a table using php and mysql.

My table looks like this:

sec_id  sec_name    sec_group
1   section 1   g         


        

Answer 1

$qry_secs="SELECT DISTINCT sec_group FROM tbl_user_sec ORDER BY sec_id ASC";
$result_secs = mysql_query($qry_secs);
echo '
\n';
//echo values
while($row_secs = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_secs)) {
    echo '
'.$row_secs['sec_group'].'
\n';
    echo '
\n';
    $newqry = "SELECT sec_name FROM tbl_user_sec WHERE `sec_group` = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($row_secs['sec_group'] . "'";
    $result = mysql_query($newqry);
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
        echo '
' . $row['sec_name'] . '
\n';
    echo '
\n';
}
echo '
\n';
