I tested with latest cvs snapshot, still unexpectingly reseting the array, leading to an unpredictable infinite loop. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-11 11:58:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows (zip): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip For Windows (installer): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-07 17:21:17] remy215 at laposte dot net Description: ------------ I have an array of nested arrays (ie. each id can have nested children). The function returns the parent of the provided id but end in an infinite loop when the id does not exists ! Parent array at the top of the hierarchy seems to undergo an unwanted reset(); Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $array=array('a0'=>array('a1'=>array('a2'=>array(),'b2'=>array()),'b1'=>array()),'b0'=>array()); $searched=array(); // to avoid infinite loop function getParent($id,$_subtree=null) { if(!$_subtree) { // if first call global $array; $_subtree=$array; // entire tree } global $searched; // to avoid infinite loop $found_parent=null; foreach($_subtree as $parent=>$children) { if(in_array($parent,$searched)) { // if already looped => stop (ie. infinite loop) die('Infinite loop: '.$parent); } array_push($searched,$parent); // to avoid infinite loop if(in_array($id,array_keys($children))) { $found_parent=$parent; break; } elseif($found_parent=getParent($id,$children)) { break; } } return $found_parent; } $search='a0'; echo 'parent of '.$search.' is: '.getParent($search); ?> Expected result: ---------------- When you provide as argument a nested id, the function works ('b2' returns 'a1'). When you provide a non-existing id, or one of the top parent ids ('a0' or 'b0') the function should return null. Actual result: -------------- When you provide a non-existing id, or one of the top parent ids ('a0' or 'b0') the function end up in an infinite loop. Parent array at the top of the hierarchy seems to undergo an unwanted reset(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42236&edit=1
