I have a flat array that I'm trying to make multidimensional. Basically, I want to find the items that have parents and create a subarray for that parent id. Right now (and this is simplified), it looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1
[parent] => 0
[name ] => Parent1
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 7
[parent] => 1
[name] => Child1
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 9
[parent] => 1
[name] => Child2
)
[3] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 2
[parent] => 0
[name ] => Parent2
)
[4] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 88
[parent] => 2
[name] => Childof2
)
)
I'm trying to make this:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1
[parent] => 0
[name ] => Parent1
[children] => stdClass Object
(
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 7
[parent] => 1
[name] => Child1
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 9
[parent] => 1
[name] => Child2
)
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 2
[parent] => 0
[name ] => Parent2
[children] => stdClass Object
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 88
[parent] => 2
[name] => Childof2
)
)
)
)
