RE: [PHP-DB] Calling functions recursively: recursive PHP functions
Thanks John. Your comment helped me through. I used a static variable for the array, array_merge_recursive() function to accumulate the foreign keys and $this-kgforeignkeys as a recursive function in a loop. This all works ok! function kgforeignkeys($tablename = ) { static $totalkgArr; if ( $this-connection $tablename != ) { $keylist = ; $sql = SELECT conname, pg_catalog.pg_get_constraintdef(oid) as condef FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint r WHERE r.conrelid = (SELECT c.oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace WHERE pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid) AND c.relname ~ '^ . $tablename . $' ) AND r.contype = 'f'; $keylist = pg_query ($this-connection, $sql); $num_rows = pg_num_rows($keylist); for ($i=0; $i $num_rows; $i++) { $r = pg_fetch_row($keylist); // echo Field: $r[0], $r[1] /br; $phrase = split(\(|\), $r[1]); // echo Phrase: $phrase[0], $phrase[1], $phrase[2], $phrase[3], $phrase[4] /br; $kgArr[$i][0][0] = $tablename; $word1 = split(,, $phrase[1]); for ($j=1; $j = count($word1); $j++) { $kgArr[$i][0][$j] = trim($word1[$j - 1]); } $kgArr[$i][1][0] = trim(Substr($phrase[2], strrpos($phrase[2], ))); $word2 = split(,, $phrase[3]); for ($j=1; $j = count($word2); $j++) { $kgArr[$i][1][$j] = trim($word2[$j - 1]); } } pg_free_result ($keylist); $totalkgArr = array_merge_recursive($totalkgArr, $kgArr ); for ($h=0; $h $num_rows; $h++) { $totalkgArr = $this-kgforeignkeys( $kgArr[$h][1][0] ); } return $totalkgArr; } else { echo 'Failed to obtain the foreign keys in ' . $tablename . 'br /'; return $totalkgArr; } } On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 19:57, John W.

Re: [PHP-DB] Calling functions recursively: recursive PHP functions
Roberto Jason thank you for your comments. Please note the question at the end of this email. I searched on recursive PHP functions and found: [thelist] recursive PHP functions Rob Wilson thelist at lists.evolt.org Mon Sep 16 11:00:01 2002 * Previous message: [thelist] recursive PHP functions * Next message: [thelist] pop up window for image without MSIE image resize * Return to the message index sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] That should read ?php function recursive ($n) { if ($n 10) { return $n; } echo N = . $n . BR; $n++; return recursive ($n); } echo The result:.recursive(1).br; ? With the important line being the : return recursive ( $n ); This allows you to unwind the recursion correctly. HTH Rob * Under www.zend.com/manual chapter 8 Variable scope a mention of recursion: Static variables also provide one way to deal with recursive functions. A recursive function is one which calls itself. Care must be taken when writing a recursive function because it is possible to make it recurse indefinitely. You must make sure you have an adequate way of terminating the recursion. The following simple function recursively counts to 10, using the static variable $count to know when to stop: ?php function Test() { static $count = 0; $count++; echo $count; if ($count 10) { Test (); } $count--; } ? *** Interesting but I am still lost as I need some help with methods/functions within objects: In the above example do I need to access Test() by: if ($count 10) { this-Test (); Comments please.
