Populate menu list with multiple text files using php
I'm trying to build a kiosk on a local machine, so no online requirement. I am going to build a big menu which will show exhibition stores and products. Due to the stores and products will always change, the client has requested to use a simple text file - .txt to populate the menu.
I used jQuery last week but unfortunately it didn't work. So after searching I've decided to use php instead. I'm new to php, but I have given it a try today, I have only managed to populate one list with the external file kate.txt
Here is my code for the page
<body>
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li class="current">
<a href="#a">Area1</a>
<ul>
<li class="current">
<a href="#ab">Kate</a>
<ul>
<?php
//variables
$dir = "C:\wamp\www\Menu";
$txtfile="Textfiles\kate.txt";
foreach (glob("$txtfile") as $filename) {
$file = $filename;
$contents = file($file);
$string = implode("<li>", $contents);
}
?>
<li><a href="#"><?php echo $string ?></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">Cathy</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Banana</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Apple</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>
<a href="#">Area2</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">lily</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Watermelon</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Grapefruit</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">John</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Orange</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Pineapple</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li> <!--current-->
</ul> <!--sf-menu-->
</body>
Can someone please give me some direction on the php code? I don't mind how the text files are structured in a folder, as long as I can populate all the menu list items and links with a text file or multiple text files not in the html code.
Assuming that your text file holds all your list items
kate.txt:
<li><a href="#">stuff</a></li>
<li><a href="#">stuff</a></li>
...
the php file
<?php
$txtfile="Textfiles\kate.txt";
$content = file_get_contents($txtfile);
<li class="current">
<a href="#ab">Kate</a>
<ul>
<?php echo $content ?>
</ul>
</li>
加载中,请稍侯......
