This is a software tool that helps you set up a tree style menu easily and quickly.
ApPHP TreeMenu PHP script generates multilevel tree menu control. Tree menu control is simple and quite popular way of structuring a menu system. The tree created is much in the style of the Windows Explorer file/directory structure. It has a collapsible vertical tree listing. The tree style menu also makes it very clear the structure in which your items are organized. The hierarchical structure can have any number of levels. The tree can be collapsed or expanded as needed. Like the Windows explorer this too expands and collapses in the vertical direction. A CSS sheet defines the look of the tree and is easily changeable.
Detailed documentation and code examples are available. These should make it easy to integrate the tree menu into your application. There are just two classes to be manipulated. TreeMenu class lets you create the tree structure while the Node class lets you define the node items. Being object oriented this way, the coding efforts of the integrating developer becomes very simple. The structure works with simple mouse clicks and it is very easily manipulated by the web site user. While this is almost perfect for users who have some exposure to the Windows explorer like structure being manipulated, it may not be so easy to understand for people who want to use the underlying application for simple purposes. You can have the menu view in a paneled style or the Vista style.
