Converting 2 Level Replies into Infinite Replies
Question
I am trying to convert my replies from 2 level to infinite replies. Currently if only showed the replies of replies, not replies of replies of replies and so forth. Nested.
Code:
<?
include 'connect.php';
$error = $_GET['er'];
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="utf-8">

For the database, i have the posts in one database:
post_id post_content post_date post_topic file_uploaded post_by post_parent
1 Parent Topic 07/06 1 1 0
2 Child Topic 07/06 1 1 1
3 Sub-Child 1 1 2
4 New Topic 2 1 0
Thereby Sub-Child is the grand child of Parent Topic. New Topic is another thread and can also have children, great grand children etc.
Please help. Hope you understand. Thanks

There are two methods I know of to store hierarchical data in a relational database. The first is Adjacency List , which is like what you have above. The second is Nest Set . With a nested set, you can retrieve an entire branch of your tree with a single query.
In either case, you'll need some amount of recursion to recreate the tree in PHP after you've retrieved it from the database.
