I have this array, called $nested
(it's a long one, but I tried to get a comprehensive scenario):
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[parent] => 0
[title] => Page 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[parent] => 0
[title] => Page 2
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[parent] => 0
[title] => Page 3
)
[4] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[parent] => 0
[title] => Page 4
)
[5] => Array
(
[id] => 5
[parent] => 0
[title] => Page 5
)
[6] => Array
(
[id] => 6
[parent] => 1
[title] => Page 1-1
)
[7] => Array
(
[id] => 7
[parent] => 1
[title] => Page 1-2
)
[8] => Array
(
[id] => 8
[parent] => 1
[title] => Page 1-3
)
[9] => Array
(
[id] => 9
[parent] => 2
[title] => Page 2-1
)
[10] => Array
(
[id] => 10
[parent] => 2
[title] => Page 2-2
)
[11] => Array
(
[id] => 11
[parent] => 2
[title] => Page 2-3
)
[12] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[parent] => 3
[title] => Page 3-1
)
[13] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[parent] => 3
[title] => Page 3-2
)
[14] => Array
(
[id] => 14
[parent] => 4
[title] => Page 4-1
)
[15] => Array
(
[id] => 15
[parent] => 6
[title] => Page 1-1-1
)
[16] => Array
(
[id] => 16
[parent] => 6
[title] => Page 1-1-2
)
[17] => Array
(
[id] => 17
[parent] => 6
[title] => Page 1-1-3
)
[18] => Array
(
[id] => 18
[parent] => 7
[title] => Page 1-2-1
)
[19] => Array
(
[id] => 19
[parent] => 7
[title] => Page 1-2-2
)
[20] => Array
(
[id] => 20
[parent] => 7
[title] => Page 1-2-3
)
[21] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[parent] => 9
[title] => Page 2-1-1
)
[22] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[parent] => 9
[title] => Page 2-1-2
)
[23] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[parent] => 9
[title] => Page 2-1-3
)
)
With this recursive function:
function recursive($parent, $array) {
$has_children = false;
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if ($value['parent'] == $parent) {
if ($has_children === false && $parent) {
$has_children = true;
echo '<ul>' ."\n";
}
echo '<li>' . "\n";
echo '<a href="/page.php?id=' . $value['id'] . '">' . $value['title'] . '</a>' . " \n";
echo "\n";
recursive($key, $array);
echo "</li>\n";
}
}
if ($has_children === true && $parent) echo "</ul>\n";
}
<ul><?php echo recursive(0, $nested); ?></ul>
I easily get this output:
- Page 1
- Page 1-1
- Page 1-1-1
- Page 1-1-2
- Page 1-1-3
- Page 1-2
- Page 1-2-1
- Page 1-2-2
- Page 1-2-3
- Page 1-3
- Page 1-1
- Page 2
- Page 2-1
- Page 2-1-1
- Page 2-1-2
- Page 2-1-3
- Page 2-2
- Page 2-3
- Page 2-1
- Page 3
- Page 3-1
- Page 3-2
- Page 4
- Page 4-1
- Page 5
So far so good.
Now, I would like NOT to show the whole tree at once, but going deeper when the user clicks on a page/subpage, like this:
URL: http://www.example.com/page.php, initial state ("expand" all items with parent = 0)
- Page 1
- Page 2
- Page 3
- Page 4
- Page 5
URL: http://www.example.com/page.php?id=1 (expand all items with parent = 1)
- Page 1
- Page 1-1
- Page 1-2
- Page 1-3
- Page 2
- Page 3
- Page 4
- Page 5
URL: http://www.example.com/page.php?id=6 (expand all items with parent = 6)
- Page 1
- Page 1-1
- Page 1-1-1
- Page 1-1-2
- Page 1-1-3
- Page 1-2
- Page 1-3
- Page 1-1
- Page 2
- Page 3
- Page 4
- Page 5
And so on
Seems a mission impossible to me, any help, please? Thanks in advance
