I have been working on a ecommerce website for myself. What I needed
some assistance on was when i was trying to display the
categories/subcategories for the different products.
I decided to use the modified preorder tree transversal algorithm. What
I wanted was on the first page is to display the catogories as follows
Books (35)
Electronics(23)
The number inside the parenthesis being the number of products in that
category. When Books is clicked on, it would display the following
Books(35)
Fiction(18)
Nonfiction(17)
Electronics(23)
In my MYSQL database table, I have the fields catid, name, lft and
rgt. For example for the three categories mentioned above I have the
following entries
catid name lft rgt
1 home 1 1
2 books 2 17
4 fiction 3 10
5 nonfiction 11 16
3 electronics 18 37
The first category home was just used to represent the main root of the
whole tree. If anyone could give me some assistance, it would be much
appreciated. Thank you in advance.
