    <p>I am stuck with a bunch of foreach loops and would like to know if there is a way to hone them down to a simple 'for' loop or a recursive function? I'm trying to generate HTML with the elements nested inside each other. I guess what I'm trying to get at is an arrays of arrays. But I don't know how to move forward with what I've created so far. Can someone please help me to make this monster into something more tamable? Thank you!</p> <p>Here's my code:</p> <pre><code>$containers = DISPLAY::displayParentElements($data); $subcontainers = DISPLAY::displayChildElements($data2); foreach($containers as $parent) { $parentDiv = $parent['parentDiv']; echo '&lt;div id="'.$parentDiv.'"&gt;'; foreach($subcontainers as $child) { echo '&lt;div id="'.$child['childDiv'].'"&gt;'; foreach($subcontainers as $grandChild) { echo '&lt;div id="'.$grandChild['grandChildDiv'].'"&gt;'; foreach($subcontainers as $greatGrandChild) { echo '&lt;div id="'.$greatGrandChild['greatGrandChildDiv'].'"&gt;'; echo '&lt;/div&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/div&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/div&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/div&gt;'; } </code></pre> <hr> <p>The results will then look like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="siteContainer"&gt; &lt;div id="header"&gt; &lt;div id="logoContainer"&gt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="logo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="links"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="contactInfo"&gt; &lt;div id="logoText"&gt; &lt;div id="shortDiv"&gt; &lt;div class="headerText"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="body"&gt; &lt;div id="longDiv"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="greetings"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p>The <code>$containers</code> array has the following info:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; siteContainer ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; header ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; logoContainer ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; logo ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; logoText ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; links ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; contactInfo ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; body ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; longDiv ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; shortDiv ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; headerText ) Array ( [attribute_value] =&gt; greetings ) </code></pre> <hr> <p>The <code>$subcontainers</code> array has pretty much the same info but with an extra key:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; siteContainer [attribute_value] =&gt; header ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; header [attribute_value] =&gt; logoContainer ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; header [attribute_value] =&gt; logo ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; contactInfo [attribute_value] =&gt; logoText ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; header [attribute_value] =&gt; links ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; header [attribute_value] =&gt; contactInfo ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; siteContainer [attribute_value] =&gt; body ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; body [attribute_value] =&gt; longDiv ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; logoText [attribute_value] =&gt; shortDiv ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; shortDiv [attribute_value] =&gt; headerText ) Array ( [parent_container_name] =&gt; body [attribute_value] =&gt; greetings ) </code></pre> <p>I'm pretty sure the two arrays could be narrowed down into one or by only using the <code>$containers</code> array.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
