ExplrPHP is a PHP script which provides an easy way to generate tree navigation menu in server-side from various sources of formats: usual PHP array, JSON file, XML file, or MySQL database table.
Requirements:
- PHP5
- jQuery
- Explr jQuery plugin
Code example:
<?php
// include the required ExplrPHP class
require_once('relative/path/to/Explr.php');
// give each instance a unique tree id
$explr = new ExplrPHP('menu2');
// set path to Explr jQuery plugin files
$explr->set_src('css', 'http://yourdomain.com/path/to/the/explr/css/file/here/jquery-explr-1.4.css');
$explr->set_src('js', 'http://yourdomain.com/path/to/the/explr/js/file/here/jquery-explr-1.4.min.js');
// only if you hadn't load jQuery before
$explr->set_src('jquery', 'http://yourdomain.com/path/to/the/jquery/file/here/jquery-1.5.2.min.js');
// point to the JSON file source we saved earlier
$explr->import_json('path/to/our/example.js');
// output tree as HTML and you're done 
$explr->draw();
?>
