Hi all,

Not sure if I am doing this right and I can't figure it out, was
hoping someone here can help.

I have an organization table in mySQL. Pretty standard. My first
function getDepts() is working as I intend and returning the tree
just as I like it. The new piece I added in there that is not working
now is the call to getPositions() within the first function. What I
am trying to do is once I get a Department, I want to loop through
the Positions table and get the positions that are under that
Department. This code goes haywire and loops for ever printing a huge
list to the screen. Eventually I need to return this data not to the
screen but into an array. Anyone see what I might have wrong in my
logic?

I have a class and it contains these two functions.

function getDepts ( $parent = 0, $level = 1 ) {
$sql = 'SELECT BudgetedOrganization.* ';
$sql .= 'FROM BudgetedOrganization ';
$sql .= 'WHERE BudgetedOrganization.boSuperiorOrgID = ' .
$parent;

$rs = $this->retrieveData($sql);
if ($rs)
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)){
$num = 1;

while ($num <= $level) {
$this->str .= "\t";
$num++;
}
$this->str .= $row['boOrgID'] . ", " . $row
['boOrgName'] . "\n";

// just added this and it ain't working
$this->str .= $this->getPositions($row['boOrgID']);
$this->getDepts($row['boOrgID'],$level+1);
}
}
return($this->str);
}

function getPositions ( $org = 0 ) {
$sql = 'SELECT BudgetedPosition.* ';
$sql .= 'FROM BudgetedPosition ';
$sql .= 'WHERE BudgetedPosition.bp_boOrgID = ' . $org;
//echo $sql;
$rs = $this->retrieveData($sql);
if ($rs)
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)){
$this->str .= " - " . $row['bpPositionID'] . "\n";
}
}
return($this->str);
}


Later....

$depts = $org->getDepts();
echo "<pre>" . $depts . "</pre>";


Thanks,
Charles
