Note Submitter: sandeepkhokher at gmail dot com ---- About returning the value from a recursive function If you are calling a recursive function then it would not return the value to the calling function unless you would declare the returning variable as global. for example <?php function GetDestinationChild($id) { global $ar; //do some operation //if some results comes if($cnt>0) { //call itself $this->GetDestinationChild($obj_2->dest_id); } else { //return computed value return $ar; } } ?> if you would not define the returning variable as global it would not return the desired computed value
