    <p>Ok, this is the scope (have to recite it from memory, hope it makes sense): An array with "functions" needs to be sorted after their occurrence and return value, so that you can see the order of the functions, which they need to be "loaded" and their "dependencies".</p> <p>There should be no duplicates and empty returns should be ignored</p> <pre><code>function human() { return ""; } function animal() { return ""; } function worker() { return "human"; } function clerk() { return "human"; } function manager() { return "clerk"; } $task = array("human", "worker", "human", "worker", "clerk", "manager", "animal"); </code></pre> <p>The resulting array should look like this</p> <pre><code>$result = array( "human" =&gt; array( "worker" =&gt; array(), "clerk" =&gt; array( "manager" =&gt; array(), ), ), "animal" =&gt; array() ); </code></pre> <p>So: human needs to be "loaded" first, then worker, clerk, manager and animal. worker and clerk depend on human, manager depends on clerk.</p> <p>So far, I got this:</p> <pre><code>$result = array(); foreach($task as $function) { if(!in_array($function, $result)) { $result[$function] = array(); } $returnvallue = $function(); if(!empty($returnvallue) &amp;&amp; !in_array($returnvallue, $result)) { $result[$returnvallue] = array(); } } </code></pre> <p>Which gives me this array</p> <pre><code>$result = array( "human" =&gt; array(), "worker" =&gt; array(), "clerk" =&gt; array(), "manager" =&gt; array(), "animal" =&gt; array() ); </code></pre> <p>But it only shows me the order of occurance.</p> <p>I'm stumped.</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.
