/*
simple extension of DBHierarchicalHash allowing a menu structure to be stored in a database.
the structure for the database is simple:
create table menu (
menu_id int unsigned not null auto_increment,
parent_id int unsigned not null default 0,
caption varchar(20) not null,
url varchar(64),
primary key (menu_id)
)
where caption is the string displayed on the menu, and url is the (possibly null) url
to be called when the link is clicked by the user. The resulting line is something like:
<a href="url">caption</a>
though this can be modified by changing $menuItemString and $menuHeaderString (see below)
menu_id is a unique identifier for a single row, and parent_id points to the menu that it
is a submenu of (0 indicates a root menu item)
Note: I tried to avoid any constants in the class, so column names, menu_id data type, root
menu indicator are all modifiable
