The ABT Drains website includes a PHP/MySQL content management system to add and edit pages. A menu array is created from page content in the database. The menu information is then fed into MenuMachine to generate a Javascript menu, and also used to create a CSS-formatted nested list menu for users with Javascript disabled. The content management system allows product information to be updated by uploading data exported from an Excel spreadsheet, and ABT dealers can login to a shopping cart for ordering products. To enable ABT to provide thousands of product specification sheets through abtdrains.com, PHP scripts dynamically generate the necessary PDF files based on component selection.
