Creating a Menu

Your online address book will contain several actions, so it makes sense to create a menu for your links. Listing 19.1 creates a menu for all the scripts you will create in this section, called mymenu.php.

Listing 19.1 Address Book Menu

  1: <html>
  2: <head>
  3: <title>My Address Book</title>
  4: </head>
  5: <body>
  6: <h1>My Address Book</h1>
  7: 
  8: <P><strong>Management</strong>
  9: <ul>
 10: <li><a href="addentry.php">Add an Entry</a>
 11: <li><a href="delentry.php">Delete an Entry</a>
 12: </ul>
 13: 
 14: <P><strong>Viewing</strong>
 15: <ul>
 16: <li><a href="selentry.php">Select a Record</a>
 17: </ul>
 18: </body>
 19: </html>

Figure 19.1 shows the output of Listing 19.1. You'll tackle each of these items in order, starting with "Add an Entry" in the next section.
