Filtering Categories

x232 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-17-2008, 11:10 AM

Hi,

I am trying to replicate the ebay filtering system: eBay â€“ Antiques, Antiquities Classical Amer. and Architectural Garden items on eBay.com. Find IT on eBay.

as you can see the items on that page are being pulled in from the sub (sub/sub) categories of the main category (Antiques)

how can i pull off the above so that a category can display items from its sub categories and show them.

the solution needs to mysql/php driven.

regards
rg

If I'd program an category tree, I make work like this

id, catname, parent_id, ...

in this case you search through all with the id, then all with that id as parent id, then all with these id:s as parent id:s and ongoing until no more matches.

then you've got all categories to search within.
