Recursive Function gone West!!

Hello,

I've got this function called maketree which passes two values.

I know I've posted a query similar, but now making progress with this!!

PHP Code:
<?
function maketree($rootcatid,$level)
   {
     echo 
$level;
     
$sql="select catid,cat_name
           from quiz_category
           where parentid=$rootcatid
           order by cat_name"
;
 
     
#echo "$sql<br>\n";
     
$result=mysql_query($sql);
 
     while (list(
$DBcatid,$DBcatname)=mysql_fetch_row($result  ))
     {
       
$width=($level+1)*24;
       
$display="<img src=e.gif width=$width height=12>";
       
$display.="$DBcatname";
       
$display.="<input type=\"radio\" name=\"quest_type\" value=$DBcatid><br>\n";
       echo 
$display;
       
#RETURN maketree($DBcatid,$level+1);
     
}
 
   }
?>
<?
   maketree
(0,0);
?>


Whats happening here is that it displays:

PHP Code:
 General Knowledge

   Sport

      Football 


but it should display:

PHP Code:
 General Knowledge

   Sport

         Football

         Golf

   Transport

         Cars

         trains 


Contents of table.....

PHP Code:
+-------+----------+-------------------+
catid parentid cat_name          |
+-------+----------+-------------------+
|     
|        General Knowledge |
|     
|        Transport         |
|     
|        Sport             |
|     
|        Golf              |
|     
|        Football          |
|     
|        Cars              |
|     
|        Trains            |
+-------+----------+-------------------+ 

Where am I going wrong with the function?? Any assitance greatly received...

If I figure it out before anyone does then I will post up the correct version.

Thanks all

Hi,

the line
PHP Code:
#RETURN maketree($DBcatid,$level+1); 


should be
PHP Code:
 maketree($DBcatid,$level+1); 


I think. Otherwise, your while( list( etc etc) ) loop will only ever show the first item retrieved from the database because you return from the function after displaying it.

Sam
