Re: Recursive Threading

There's a couple of ways you could do this... - search zend.com and other PHP sites for something similar :) - pick up Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties" which talks about building trees and graphs in SQL (which is what this is)... this can get kind of complicated though. or... - modify your table so that every row has a threadID as well as a parentID. - change your query so that you select all the rows that have a given threadID. - use something like the code here for "sorting". http://stuff.adhesivemedia.com/php/heirarchial-sorting.php good luck!
