[/snip] Update on my test. This works perfectly Robert - thank you very much! But there is one small problem that I am trouble-shooting: it only goes one layer and doesn't progress any further. I suspect it is on this section of code that I am going to add some stuff to to see what is happening. if( !($parents =&$children) ){

            break;
        }

I didn't actually test it... if you have trouble figuring out the problem feel free to send me a copy of your table (in private) and I'll debug :)

I had it backwards. Both arrays are empty and the break should not occur because they are equal to each other. Let me send you a portion of the table Robert.

No, I'm performing assignment... intentionally. Parent's becomes the previous children to move down a level. The following:

    if( !($parents = &$children) )

performs assignment and an empty array check in one statement.
