Maurus' step by step helped in creating my own custom code to retrieve menu items from DB using php.
x2dml02 assisted in solving the prob, his tip of using coolmenus did help me in zeroing on the perfect menu.BTW 'coolmenu' is not providing php integration example in its documentation,had to add my own custom php code snippet to get the things going!!!

In the download there is an example for using php. From what I can gather it is no longer being developed but it still works with all browsers I have tried it in and is very customable.
I made a small php script to autamatticly generate it from the records in the database (dynamic).
Worth looking at.
