I am getting close, but I am also getting frustrated. I probably need to walk 
away for a bit.

I have an array of tiers….

Array
(
    [0] => TIER1DATA
    [1] => TIER2DATA
    [2] => TIER3DATA
    [3] => BUSTIER1DATA
    [4] => BUSTIER2DATA
    [5] => BUSTIER3DATA
    [6] => BUSTIER4DATA
)
Each of the tiers which represent parents in children in pairs. TIER1DATA is 
the parent of TIER2DATA, etc. representing 7 columns of data. Here is my code 
so far - any insight would be valuable and extremely appreciated by me.

function display_children($i, $child) {
        global $dbc;
        global $tierArray;
        echo $i."<br />";
        /* retrieve children of parent */
        $get = "SELECT DISTINCT `". $tierArray[$i] ."` FROM `POSITION_SETUP` ";
        $get .= "WHERE `COMPANY_ID` = '3' ";
        if($i > 0) {
                $get .= "AND `" . $tierArray[$i - 1] . "` = '" . $child . "' ";
        }
        echo $get."<br />";
        if(!($result = mysql_query($get, $dbc))) {
                echo mysql_errno() . "\t" . mysql_error() . "\n";
                exit();
        }
        
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
                
                /* indent and display the title of this child */
                echo str_repeat('&nbsp;',$i).$row[$tierArray[$i]]."<br />\n";
                
                /* get the children's children */
                display_children($i + 1, $row[$tierArray[$i]]);
        }
}

It does produce the right query for only the first child in each case, I cannot 
get it to go deeper. I have just been looking at it for too long. TVMIA!
