    <p>I am creating a product catalogue which will be browsed through database queries with the results displayed in a div, without page refresh-via ajax.</p> <p>Category examples would be:</p> <p>Home Health Entertainment</p> <p>There are also subcategories for each category, i.e:</p> <p>HOME: Garden Furniture Plumbing Etc.</p> <p>I want to make a little directory thing that shows exactly where they are, something like:</p> <p>Home >>> Garden >>> Lawn care </p> <p>With each of those as a clickable link to take the person back to that specific query level.</p> <p>My code is 1 .php document, involving a query and code to output the query. If output is clicked on, it triggers an ajax script which points back to and reruns the same query/output, but with different results.</p> <p>This being said, i dont know how i would create a way to store and display the directory path. That i mentioned above.</p> <p>I was thinking of some way that takes the category that was clicked on and passes it through the url so that the php has the value when it reloads. And then i work that variable into a clickable directory link. But the problem is I'm not sure how to do that for multiple layers.</p> <p>i.e. If someone just clicked on "garden" i could pass the garden variable through and use that in the nav, but then if someone clicked on "lawn care" i wouldnt be sure how to keep the "garden" variable because the variable i brought over via the url would now read "lawn care."</p> <p>I feel like it has something to do with dynamically adding and storing the cumulative values in an array, but I'm really out of ideas...</p>

    1. COIs the data stored hierarchically as implied by the "directory" structure? If so, I imagine that if an ID representing "Lawn Care" was passed into the script then, from the data, you could discern its parent, its parent's parent, and so on until you reach the root of the hierarchy.

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.
