I am creating a message board (pretty standard) using php and mysql. In
order to manage all the posts and replies I am using a treenode structure
(so that I can recursively add, delete, display, etc...) Everything works so
far (www.bleen.net/forum). I want to be able to display 10 posts (including
relies in that count) at a time; then have a next link and display the next
10 (you've all seen it before). How do I modify a recursive function to
stop and start? My display finction is listed below.
Thanks
Alexander Ross
function display($row, $start = 0)
{ //display the tree
if($this->m_postid<>0)
{ // if this is the empty root node skip displaying
print "<tr><td bgcolor=";
if ($row%2 == 0)
print "'#cccccc'>";
else
print "'#ffffff'>";
// indent replies to the depth of nesting
print "<img src='images/spacer.gif' height=22
width=".(22*$this->m_depth)." alt='' valign = bottom>";
print " <a name = $this->m_postid ><a href =
'view_post.php?postid=$this->m_postid'>";
if ($this->m_depth == 1)
print "<b> '$this->m_title' - $this->m_poster
<i>(".reformat_date($this->m_posted).")</i></b></a>";
else
print "'$this->m_title' - $this->m_poster
<i>(".reformat_date($this->m_posted).")</i></a>";
print "</td></tr>";
}
// increment row counter to alternate colors
$row++;
$num_children = count($this->m_childlist);
for($i = 0; ($i<$num_children); $i++)
{ // call display on each of this node's children
$row = $this->m_childlist[$i]->display($row);
}
return ($row);
}
