PHP: Formatting multi-dimensional array as HTML?
- by Industrial
Hi everybody,
I have tried to get my head around building a recursive function to handle formatting of a unknown depth multi-dimensional array to HTML and nested Divs. I thought that it should be a piece of cake, but no.
Here's what I have come up with this far:
function formatHtml($array) {
$var = '<div>';
foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
if (is_array($v['children']) && !empty($v['children'])) {
formatHtml($v['children']);
}
else {
$var .= $v['cid'];
}
}
$var.= '</div>';
return $var;
}
And here's my array:
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[cid] => 1
[_parent] =>
[id] => 1
[name] => 'Root category'
[children] => Array
(
[2] => Array
(
[cid] => 2
[_parent] => 1
[id] => 3
[name] => 'Child category'
[children] => Array ()
)
)
)
)
Thanks a lot!
