I'm trying to generate a tree structure from a table in a database. The table is stored flat, with each record either having a parent_id or 0. The ultimate goal is to have a select box generated, and an array of nodes.
The code I have so far is :
function init($table, $parent_id = 0)
{
$sql = "SELECT id, {$this->parent_id_field}, {$this->name_field} FROM $table WHERE {$this->parent_id_field}=$parent_id ORDER BY display_order";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$this->get_tree($result, 0);
print_r($this->nodes);
print_r($this->select);
exit;
}
function get_tree($query, $depth = 0, $parent_obj = null)
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query))
{
/* Get node */
$this->nodes[$row->parent_category_id][$row->id] = $row;
/* Get select item */
$text = "";
if($row->parent_category_id != 0) {
$text .= " ";
}
$text .= "$row->name";
$this->select[$row->id] = $text;
echo "$depth $text\n";
$sql = "SELECT id, parent_category_id, name FROM product_categories WHERE parent_category_id=".$row->id." ORDER BY display_order";
$nextQuery = mysql_query($sql);
$rows = mysql_num_rows($nextQuery);
if($rows > 0) {
$this->get_tree($nextQuery, ++$depth, $row);
}
}
}
It's almost working, but not quite. Can anybody help me finish it off?
