RussianAfter some struggling I managed to get what I need using one pass over the recordset (only reading each record once) - using references. As memory reference support is rather limited in PHP, there are some funny things required to keep thins working (e.g. a new variable name for each row that I'm reading from the DB). Anyway, here's the code that I ended up with (this code only deals with id and parent_id - but it's trivial to read/store further data):
$dbh = new PDO(CONNECT_STRING, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
$dbs = $dbh->query("SELECT n_id, n_parent_id from test_table order by n_parent_id, n_id");
$elems = array();
while(($row = $dbs->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) !== FALSE) {
$row['children'] = array();
$vn = "row" . $row['n_id'];
${$vn} = $row;
if(!is_null($row['n_parent_id'])) {
$vp = "parent" . $row['n_parent_id'];
if(isset($data[$row['n_parent_id']])) {
${$vp} = $data[$row['n_parent_id']];
}
else {
${$vp} = array('n_id' => $row['n_parent_id'], 'n_parent_id' => null, 'children' => array());
$data[$row['n_parent_id']] = &${$vp};
}
${$vp}['children'][] = &${$vn};
$data[$row['n_parent_id']] = ${$vp};
}
$data[$row['n_id']] = &${$vn};
}
$dbs->closeCursor();
$result = array_filter($data, function($elem) { return is_null($elem['n_parent_id']); });
print_r($result);
When executed on this data:
mysql> select * from test_table;
+------+-------------+
| n_id | n_parent_id |
+------+-------------+
| 1 | NULL |
| 2 | NULL |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 |
| 5 | 2 |
| 6 | 2 |
| 7 | 5 |
| 8 | 5 |
+------+-------------+
The last print_r produces this output:
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[n_id] => 1
[n_parent_id] =>
[children] => Array
(
[3] => Array
(
[n_id] => 3
[n_parent_id] => 1
[children] => Array
(
)
)
[4] => Array
(
[n_id] => 4
[n_parent_id] => 1
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[n_id] => 2
[n_parent_id] =>
[children] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[n_id] => 5
[n_parent_id] => 2
[children] => Array
(
[7] => Array
(
[n_id] => 7
[n_parent_id] => 5
[children] => Array
(
)
)
[8] => Array
(
[n_id] => 8
[n_parent_id] => 5
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
[6] => Array
(
[n_id] => 6
[n_parent_id] => 2
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
)
Which is exactly what I was looking for.
