Display this multilevel array in php with top level and sub level list items?
Any thoughts on how I can display this multilevel array in php with top level and sub level list items?
I am pretty much up to here but only getting top level list items.

Where did this array come from? Is it part of a PHP framework?
ASKER
No I just created the array..
ASKER
It's coming from a php script, but not a framework, why?
I was hoping it came from a framework because most PHP frameworks have something like this hierarchy and they use it to generate the site navigation. If it were from a framework, it might be possible to find the code that turns the array into HTML.

Not sure if this helps get this closer to a solution, but here it is. I found a recursive function that loops through parents and childern as such..
Array (
[1] => Array ( [title_1] => Dashboard [parent] => [id] => 1
[children] => Array (
[2] => Array ( [title_1] => Home [parent] => 1 [id] => 2 )
[3] => Array ( [title_1] => FAQ [parent] => 1 [id] => 3 )
[4] => Array ( [title_1] => Support [parent] => 1 [id] => 4 ) ) )
[5] => Array ( [title_1] => Account [parent] => [id] => 5
[children] => Array (
[6] => Array ( [title_1] => Profile [parent] => 5 [id] => 6 )
[7] => Array ( [title_1] => Users [parent] => 5 [id] => 7 )
[8] => Array ( [title_1] => Financials [parent] => 5 [id] => 8 ) ) )
This is the function:
If this is useful I need help now bringing the foreach statement to work with the array... outputting list items...
Thanks in advance... if this doesn't help I am open to other ideas...

// using recursion
$children = buildTree( $ar, $item['id'] );
if( $children ) {
$op[$item['id']]['children'] = $children;

return $op;
}
print_r( buildTree( $pagedata ) );If this is useful I need help now bringing the foreach statement to work with the array... outputting list items...

Please do me a favor here. Put this right before the call to print_r(), then copy and paste the formatted print_r() output into the code snippet here. I need to see the punctuation to understand the structure. Thanks!

Thanks. Let's see if this helps move things forward. I redacted some of the arrays, but the principles should still apply to the full arrays. Moving parts start at line 144.
