yes...theres mine...which works. and yours...which doesn't correlate to the
sample data he gave...at all.

which may be well and good, however when you left out the fact that john
also likes yellow. further, you provide no direct association from the
values to the colors...unless you FORCE a for (...) iterator construct to
magically link them. shit, that's going to hurt when one of either the
parent or children are deleted from the array! you'll be looking to iterate
over sequencial keys...that could actually end up with gaping holes,
thinking, 'why the hell won't this work!'

yes, yes...now, reformulate again...to something that will work without
being contrived. ;^)

again, perhaps similar, but the important thing is...mine works. please,
provide your working example using EXACTLY this 're'formulation.
