Hello,
Here's primitive variant of function you might looking for.
It's very simplific and non-flexible, but it gives an idea:
/**
* @param array $arr Array to process
* @param integer $id (optional) Base parent ID
* @return array
*/
function mktree_array(&$arr, $id = 0)
{
$result = array();
foreach ($arr as $a) {
if ($id == $a['parentID']) {
$a['children'] = mktree_array($arr, $a['nid']);
$result[] = $a;
}
}
return $result;
}
You can see it's example usage at gihub:
