tree built recursive

[andreas kirschner]

Hello developers!

I'm sticking in a problem.

I want to read the folder hierarchy of the webserver and store the
information in a tree, built like a linked list - you know 'a tree'.

you see in function readsubtree() i'm storing the object child in the
array of the actualfoldernod e. but this doesn't work out. it never
arrives there.

the tree is just built to one depth. although the recursion works as
some echo outs show.

please help

let me post in the snippet:

function readTree(){
global $name_of_root;
$this->rootNode = new FolderTreeNode( $this);
$this->rootNode->name = $name_of_root;
$this->rootNode->absPath = absolutePath("" );
if (relativePath(g etcwd()) == "") {$this->rootNode->selected = true;}
$this->readSubTree(&$ this->rootNode);
}

function readSubTree($ac tualFolderNode) {
$actualAbsDir = $actualFolderNo de->absPath;
$dir = @opendir($actua lAbsDir);
if (!$dir) {return 0;}
while ($entry = readdir($dir)){
if (is_dir($actual AbsDir."/".$entry) && ($entry != ".." && $entry !=
".")){
$child = new FolderTreeNode( $this);
$child->name = $entry;
$child->absPath = $actualAbsDir."/".$entry;
$child->parentNode = $actualFolderNo de;
if (getcwd() == $child->absPath) {$child->selected = true;}
$actualFolderNo de->childNodes[] = $child;
$this->readSubTree($c hild);
}
}
}

class FolderTreeNode{

var $folderTree;

var $name;
var $absPath;
var $parentNode;
var $childNodes = array();
var $selected;
var $newElements;
function FolderTreeNode( $folderTree){
$this->folderTree = $folderTree;
}
}

Guess this is OK. }

function readSubTree($ac tualFolderNode) { <snip>
This code looks OK too, except your function declaration needs to pass
the $actualFolderNo de by reference instead of as a regular var.

function readSubTree(&$a ctualFolderNode ) {

unless you're using PHP 5.0, which is supposed to do this automatically.

If you don't pass by reference, $actualFolderNo de is a copy of the
object you're passing into the function, not the actual object itself.
}

I solved the problem:

the instantiation is now made as a reference as well as the storing in
the childnodes array

function readSubTree(&$a ctualFolderNode ){
$actualAbsDir = $actualFolderNo de->absPath;
$dir = @opendir($actua lAbsDir);
if (!$dir) {return 0;}
while ($entry = readdir($dir)){
if (is_dir($actual AbsDir."/".$entry) && ($entry != ".." && $entry
!= ".")){
$child = &new FolderTreeNode( $this);
$child->name = $entry;
$child->absPath = $actualAbsDir."/".$entry;
$child->parentNode = $actualFolderNo de;
if (getcwd() == $child->absPath) {$child->selected = true;}
$actualFolderNo de->childNodes[] = &$child;
$this->readSubTree($c hild);
}
if (is_file($actua lAbsDir."/".$entry)){
if (strtotime("-".$this->wExplorer->coloredDays. " days") <
(filemtime($act ualAbsDir."/".$entry))) {
$actualFolderNo de->newElements = true;
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
