This Looks rather nice

I was wondering maybe you might please post an example of how to use this tree. I have an idea though, but an example will make things easier.
I am currently developing a php framework, and i was thinking that if this class really functions well, i might use it.

sure, but it is a 'simple' tree and can only display one branch as is. I was coding it for another project that only required that,

here is how I use it

$tree = new tree ( "Comps" );
$tree->setBranches ( $compGroupsArray );
$tree->buildTree ( $compsArray, 2, 0, 3 );
$treeArray = $tree->getTree ();

where $compGroupsArray in an array like this
Array
(
[1] => CAL Comp Form
[2] => LL Comp Form
[3] => LL Comp Form - Directors
[4] => Forgotten Pass
[5] => Misc Comp Sheet
[6] => SBLLS
[7] => Coupon/Voucher
[8] => Head Office ONLY
[9] => TESTING COMPS
[13] => Groups/Events
[14] => Ticket/Pass Issues
[17] => Summer Comps
[16] => Volunteers
)

and $compsArray looks like this

Array
(
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[CompID] => 2
[1] => 3
[ResortID] => 3
[2] => 1

[IncludeInReports] => 1
[21] => 1
[22] => CAL Comp Form
[GroupName] => CAL Comp Form
[23] => 1
)
}


the buildTree method takes the comps array as branches and the other as the leaves for that branch and using the params ( 2,0,3 in this case) to id the elements of the compsArray to use to relate to the compGroupsArray.

so the param 2 tells its to group the comps by the group id in compsArray[2].

The param 0 tells it to give the comp the id value in compsArray[0]

and the param 3 tells it to use the value of compsArray[3] as the text to display in the tree.


in my case this is what I get back from the getTree method


<div class="treeRoot" id="treeName" name="treeName"><a href="#" class="treeTitle">Click To Expand</a><div class="tree" id="tree1"><a href="#" class="branchTitle" onclick="treeshow('Comps-1')">1 : CAL Comp Form</a><div class="treeBranch" id="Comps-1" style="display: none;"><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=2','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">2 : Edwards</a><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=6','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">6 : Locke</a><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=155','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">155 : Sport Check 2 for 1</a><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=172','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">172 : Louise </a><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=176','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">176 : Ross</a><a href="#" onclick="ajax('ajax/comps.ajax.php','loadComp=true&amp;compIDtoLoad=177','popupFormDiv')" class="leafTitle">177 : Kwasney</a></div>



I hope that helps. I want to expand this to be a bit more dynamic and to handle multiple levels when I have time.

That is very fantastic amigo. With that simple example, you have helped a lot of people.
