    <p>I'm trying to create a function for a hierarchical navigational menu bar.</p> <p>I want to be able to have something like this...</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul id="navigation"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu Item 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu Item 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Sub Menu Item 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Sub Menu Item 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu Item 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu Item 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm using this function, but it's not working properly like I'd like it to. It's showing the main parent links, but not the child links.</p> <pre><code>function build_navbar($pid,$sub=0) { global $db; $query = $db-&gt;simple_select("navbar", "*", "pid='".$pid."'", array("order_by" =&gt; "disporder")); $menu_build = "&lt;ul id=\"navigation\"&gt;\n"; while($menu = $db-&gt;fetch_array($query)) { if($sub == 1) { $menu_build .= "&lt;ul&gt;\n"; $menu_build .= "&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"#\"&gt;".$menu['title']."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n"; $menu_build .= "&lt;/ul&gt;\n"; } else { $menu_build .= "&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"#\"&gt;".$menu['title']."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n"; } build_navbar($menu['id'],1); } $menu_build .= "&lt;/ul&gt;\n"; return $menu_build; } </code></pre> <p>Perhaps someone can help me fix this? Thanks.</p> <p><strong>--- New Update ---</strong></p> <p>Andy Groff, this is what your code is outputting:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul id="navigation"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Child Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Child 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Parent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, I need it modified so it'll output like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul id="navigation"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Child Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Child 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Parent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>This is what it is outputting now, Andy:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;ul id="navigation"&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Child Link&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Child 2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Parent&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
