Thank you so much! This eases my worries for next semester. Would happen to have an example script showing PHP using recursion? Thanks again! Martin wrote:
Hi Andres, Yes, PHP support "recoursion". That means, that you are calling a function again and again, but with new start-parameters. For example, if you want to search a harddisc for a file, you will call your function SearchFolder($path) with "C:\". If the function itself detects subfolder, it will call itself, but with the parameters "C:\Subfolder1", "C:\Subfolder2" and so on. You have to watch out then, the the function terminated correctly, if the searched file is found. Martin
