    <p>I did research on this, and wasn't able to find an exact answer. Most of the questions/answers on here pertaining to this seem to be unfinished. If anyone knows of a finished solution similar to my question, please point me in that direction!</p> <p>Here is my array:</p> <pre><code>Array ( ['home'] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; sub-home1 [1] =&gt; sub-home2 ) ['about'] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; sub-about ['about2'] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; sub-sub-about ) ) ['staff'] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; sub-staff1 [1] =&gt; sub-staff2 ) ['contact'] =&gt; contact ) </code></pre> <p>And here is what I would like to turn it into:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;home&lt;a/&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-home1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-home2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;about&lt;a/&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;about2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-sub-about&lt;a/&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;staff&lt;a/&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-staff1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;sub-staff2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;contact&lt;a/&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>The array will be dynamically generated, but will have a limit of 3 levels ex: about->about2->sub-sub-about. I tried going off of this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5628722/php-mysql-navigation-menu">PHP/MySQL Navigation Menu</a> but they didn't really seem to come to a conclusion? I am familiar with foreach's whiles and for loops but I just can't seem to wrap my head around this one. </p> <p><strong>EDIT: Enzino, your code works!</strong></p>

    1. COI think what you need here is a recursive function that parses the arrays. Sorry I can't (off the top of my head) give an example, but this is DEFINITELY one case where recursion is necessary.

    3. COYou want to find a DFS (depth-first search) algorithm and implement it to output the list.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
