Hi I want to loop through this ordered list and save the values in a multi-dimensional array.

I tried to do this in PHP but it was too difficult. Thanks.

Perhaps this will get you started.

Thanks prit but that didn't really help. Any ideas, or is it better to do this in PHP server side.

Uno momento por favor...

I would like it to look like:

{
    "content": [
        {
            "content": [
                {
                    "css": "dd-handle dd3-handle"
                }, 
                {
                    "content": {
                        "text": "Home"
                    },

That's almost the entire HTML... why don't you send that instead? What is the goal on the PHP side?

[iamthwee]

I am building my own menu manager for a CMS.

http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/479665/store-unordered-list/

The HTML above is the one that has the drag and drop functionality, essentially all I need is the li structure, the name and the url.

Once I have that I can build the actual menu which will have a different css style. It will need to be saved to the database.

[iamthwee]

I've decided to do this with PHP
