Re: objects in functions?

What do you mean by it fails? Any particular error, or does it just time out? I've made a different recursive function to print a tree-menu, you can have a look at it if you want but it might not be what you're after. It prints a tree-menu, and reqires the table to have at least a field named id and parent. parent telling which node an object is connected to. But I guess you know that already, I just got carried away! Maybe someone could use this. good night! :-) PHP4: This script makes just one query to the server, fetching the id, parent and name of each object, so u don't have to make multiple queries. Don't know if it is any faster, though. <? function Recurse( $parent, $level=0, $item_string=0 ) { global $expand, $obj; $tmp = $obj; reset( $tmp ); foreach( $tmp as $k=>$v ) { if( $v->parent == $parent ) { (in_array( $v->id, $expand))?$X="&gt;&nbsp;":$X="&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"; echo @str_repeat( "&nbsp;", $level*3 ). "$X<a href='$PHP_SELF?item=".$item_string.",".$v->id."'>$v->item</a><br>"; if ( in_array( $v->id, $expand ) ) recurse( $v->id, $level +1, $item_string.",".$v->id ); } } } // id = the key, item=the name of an object, and parent=the connected node. ord is just the order of objects (which i've set in the db) $sql = "select id,item,parent from menu order by parent, ord"; $qry = mysql_query( $sql ); while( $tmp = mysql_fetch_object( $qry )) { $p = (int) $tmp->id+0; $obj[$p] = $tmp;} $expand = explode( ",", $item ); // expand is an array containing the nodes to be opened //(check the URI :-) Recurse(0); // start with top-level objects (starting node) ?> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Van Dijck" <peter@vardus.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2001 9:43 PM Subject: [PHP] objects in functions? > Hi, > I want to make a recursive function generating a hierarchy using a class. > > The following code works fine when I don't wrap the function around it, > but when I do it fails.
