[RESOLVED] I seem to be putting the "Curse" in recursive

[Atomiku]

Sigh
Ive just about managed to get a grip on the whole recursive idea.

I can successfully turn this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => e9f05064bcfb342ac34f335c2bc98370
            [category] => Blah
            [category_description] => blah desc
            [belongto] => 
            [children] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (

                            [category_description] => Haxing, Haxing! I USE DA WPEZ JO!

                                            )

                                    )

        [category_description] => This is the news :)
        [belongto] => 
        [children] => 
    )

)

into this:

Blah
Blah->Testingz
Blah->Testingz->Sub-sub category
Blah->Testingz->Sub sub cate2
Blah->Testingz->Sub sub cate2->Sub sub sub cate 🙂
Blah->Testingz->Sub sub cate2->omg
Blah->Testingz->lll
Blah->News

But if you look closely, its incorrect.

This is the code that is doing it:

function recursion_now($array, $level){
	foreach($array as $title){
		echo $level . $title['category'] . "<BR>";
			if(is_array($title['children'])){
				$level .= $title['category'] . "->";
				recursion_now($title['children'],$level,$title['belongto']);
			}
	}
} 

Is there anything wrong with it?
because the $level thing is sorta incorrect 🙁
if any one knows, thanks 🙂

Btw, Before you post this "But, I gave you some code, didnt it work?"

The answer is, Well it just did what my script did, not take the level down.

[mtmosier]

$level .= $title['category'] . "->";
recursion_now($title['children'],$level,$title['belongto']);

Here you change the value of level for the remainder of this function, including later iterations of the loop. Try changing it to this

recursion_now($title['children'], $level . $title['category'] . "->", $title['belongto']);

Dont worry, BECAUSE IVE ****ING DONE IT! 😃😃😃😃
After about 10 hours, 4 cups of tea, 2 headaches, 3 threads and about 7 replys
IVE DONE IT!!!!!
The output is:

ddd
ddd->Testingz
ddd->Testingz->Sub-sub category
ddd->Testingz->Sub sub cate2
ddd->Testingz->Sub sub cate2->Sub sub sub cate :)
ddd->Testingz->omg
ddd->lll
News

And for all those who might be having the same problem, the code is:

function recursion_now($array, $level, $depth44=array()){
	foreach($array as $title){
			$dash2 = "";
			foreach($depth44 as $title2){ $dash2 .= $title2 . "->"; }
			echo $dash2 . $title['category'] . "<BR>";
			$dash2 = "";
			if(is_array($title['children'])){
				$thisone = $title['id'];
				$depth44[$thisone] = $title['category'];
				recursion_now($title['children'],$level,$depth44);
				unset($depth44[$thisone]);
			}
	}
}  

Woohoo!!!!!! Btw, Thanks to those who replyed 🙂
