How to build a tree view with PHP / SQL?

What's the best way to:

  • Get the data from the db using a single query
  • Loop through the results building eg a nested unordered list
  • My table has id , name and parent_id columns.


    Here's an update to my last answer, with a counter that gives each ul a nesting 'level' class, and some comments.

    Could anyone suggest how to adapt this to use table rows, without nesting, but with some kind of class numbering hierarchy for css/js hooks?

    <?
    
    //
    // Get the data
    //
    include_once("inc/config.php");
    
    $query = "SELECT c.* 
              FROM categories AS c
              ORDER BY c.id
              LIMIT 1000";          
    
    $result = pg_query($db, $query);
    
    //
    // Load all the results into the row array
    //
    while ($row = pg_fetch_array($result, NULL, PGSQL_ASSOC))
    {
      //
      // Wrap the row array in a parent array, using the id as they key
      // Load the row values into the new parent array
      //
      $categories[$row['id']] = array(
        'id' => $row['id'], 
        'description' => $row['description'], 
        'parent_id' => $row['parent_id']
      );
    }
    
    
    // print '<pre>';
    // print_r($category_array);
    
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    
    //
    // Create a function to generate a nested view of an array (looping through each array item)
    // From: http://68kb.googlecode.com/svn-history/r172/trunk/upload/includes/application/controllers/admin/utility.php
    //
    function generate_tree_list($array, $parent = 0, $level = 0)
    {
    
      //
      // Reset the flag each time the function is called
      //
      $has_children = false;
    
      //
      // Loop through each item of the list array
      //
      foreach($array as $key => $value)
      {
        //
        // For the first run, get the first item with a parent_id of 0 (= root category)
        // (or whatever id is passed to the function)
        //
        // For every subsequent run, look for items with a parent_id matching the current item's key (id)
        // (eg. get all items with a parent_id of 2)
        //
        // This will return false (stop) when it find no more matching items/children
        //
        // If this array item's parent_id value is the same as that passed to the function
        // eg. [parent_id] => 0   == $parent = 0 (true)
        // eg. [parent_id] => 20  == $parent = 0 (false)
        //
        if ($value['parent_id'] == $parent) 
        {

            $level++;

    MySQL已经在这个主题上创建了一篇很好的文章:在MySQL中管理分层数据


    You can create a breadcrumb view style by using arrays, without using a recursive function.

    Here is my working code:

    First, make a SQL query like this:

    $category = CHtml::listData(TblCategory::model()->findAllCategory(array(
    'distinct'=>true,
    'join'=>'LEFT JOIN tbl_category b on b.id = t.cat_parent',
    'join'=>'LEFT JOIN tbl_category c on c.cat_parent = 0',
    'order' => 'cat_name')),'id','cat_name');
