Howdy guys and girls. Been a long time since I've been in these parts.
My php is rusty these days, so please bare with me. I'm trying to
create a dynamic, multidimensional array, and keep track of which level
I'm on, opening and closing levels as needed. Lets say that I have some
data like the below:
Hi John:
Not that it matters, but I remember you. You left the list a couple
of years ago. But only after you publicly stated that you added me to
your kill file because I asked a question in a manner that you didn't
approve. Well, I hope those days are past -- we're usually bit more
understanding and less confrontational on this list now. The idea
here is to help -- so, welcome to the list.
What you are asking is much like parsing an xml file. I don't know
where you're getting your data, you didn't say other than you
mentioned "tags", but you might find this of help:
http://www.php.net/xml
and more specifically:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/example.xml-structure.php
That seems to mimic what you are trying to do.
As far as keeping track of what level you're on, there are several
Parser functions to explore such as byte_index, line_number, and
column_number. Perhaps those will help.
Cheers,
tedd
