Simple recursion function not working. Please help newbie

Hey folks. I've got a small recursive function to display the tree hierarchy of directories. My problem is that the function will go until it gets to the end of the first branch. Then it seems like that is it. The subdirs array is an [n][3] array. function show_tree($parent_ID, $indent) { global $subdirs; echo "<td>In show_tree. parent = $parent_ID</td><br>\n"; foreach ($subdirs as $item) { echo "<td>$item[2]</td><br>\n"; #[0] == ID #[1] == Parent Dir. ID #[2] == Filename/Directory if ($item[1] == $parent_ID) { echo "<option value='$item[0]'>"; for ($i=0; $i < $indent; $i++) echo "&nbsp;"; echo "$item[2]</option>\n"; $indent++; echo "<td>Calling show_tree with $item[0]</td><br>\n"; show_tree($item[0], $indent); } } Thanks for any help that you can shed on this for me. -David Wilson Below is the output... <html><head><link rel=stylesheet
