Php mysql menu class

PHP
1

Hi,
I’m stuck with php menu class from sitepoint php anthology vol. 1 chapter 9 example.

$baseUrl=‘/products/books/biography/’;
output is following
Notice: Menu Location not found in /home/kxa/public_html/test/menu/Menu.php on line 86

On sitepoint forums I’ve found question exactly with same problem as mine but I didn’t find the answer.
If know the solution please post it.

My other question is which php class do you recommend for manipulating menus from mysql data ?

regards,

After THINKING this one over I realised that you get the “Menu Location not found” error unless you modify the contents of the menu table supplied with the code archive!

Added the locations of my /PHPAnthologyCode/WebPAgeElements/12.php to the menu table and the script worked perfectly on my Windows test box but still failed on my Redhat EL3 production server with Plesk 7.0.2! This might be a problem with str_replace() on my Plesk server’s version of PHP (4.3.2)?

Tried using pathinfo() to break down the URL fragments: -

<?php
$url = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];
echo "Path = " . $url . “<br />”;
echo “Path fragments: -<br />”;
$fragments = pathinfo($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]);
echo "Directory = ". $fragments[‘dirname’]. “/<br />”;
echo “File Name = " . $fragments[‘basename’]. " <br />”;
echo "File Type = “. $fragments[‘extension’]. " <br />”;
?>

Modified 12.php by replacing

// Set the base location for this page relative to web root - MODIFY THIS!!!
$baseUrl=‘/PHPAnthologyCode/WebPageElements/12.php’;

// Fetch the location framement to match against menu table
$location = str_replace ($baseUrl,‘’,$_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]);

with

// Fetch the location fragment to match against menu table
$path = pathinfo(“$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]”);
$dirname = $path[‘dirname’];
$location = $dirname. “/”;

Modified script works OK on my Windows test box and the RH EL3 Plesk server.[/QUOTE]

Have you tried this?
