arrays using with PEAR::Tree

i remember there was a short thread a while ago, about some kind of trees saved in an array that someone wanted to submit a class for. i only wanted to show a tiny example of how the Tree class can be used for that. i am building all my navigations using the following way: $naviItems = array( array( 'name' => 'User', 'children'=> array(

    array(

'name' => 'Logout',

                'condition'=>   $userAuth->isLoggedIn(),
                'url'   =>  	'/modules/user/logout.php'
         ),
    array(  	'name'  =>  	'Login',
    		'condition'=>   !$userAuth->isLoggedIn(),
                'url'   =>  	'/index.php'
         )
    )

) ); $navi = Tree::setup('Memory_Array', array('children'=>$naviItems) ); $navi->setup(); $myNaviItems = $navi->getNode(); ----- and inside the template/page you can do this ---- foreach( $myNaviItems as $aItem ) {

    // show only allowed navi items
    if( $aItem['condition'] )
       	continue;

    if( $aItem['url'] )
        echo '<a href="'.$aItem['url'].'">'.$aItem['name'].'</a>';
    else
        echo $aItem['name'];
    echo '<br>';

} i guess this is kinda easy to understand now you can imagine to write a navi-class which wraps around this and handles stuff like - permissions/condition - additional url-addOns - onClick parameters, which only make i.e. <a href="javascript://" onClick="theValue"> - automatic folding/unfolding, etc. if this is a concept/package someone wishes to see in pear, i would be glad to have started something like that ... ideas are welcome -- Wolfram ... translating template engine .... http://sf.net/projects/simpletpl ... authentication system .... http://sf.net/projects/auth
