php algorithm recursive tree

Question

I'm modifying an open source source script to show genealogy via organization chart style.

having users table with id and parentid field.

when I open /viewOrgChart?user_id=1 or numbers not in 2 3 4 5, it works well!

BUT when I open with user_id 2 3 4 5, it throw ERROR: Trying to get property 'parentid' of non-object the $us->parentid is having another level array inside... Error only happen for these few user id...

/viewOrgChart?user_id=2
/viewOrgChart?user_id=3
/viewOrgChart?user_id=4
/viewOrgChart?user_id=5

couldn't figure out what's wrong here.

And also I want to restrict the number of levels to display out based on the passed in user_id. Let's say I pass in with user_id=1 and I want to display everything up to 4 level down only

(in this case, it should show up to the level firstname=eng, below eng level all no need show) But... where to ..

Any algo expert?

Here's a class I wrote which should do what you need:

<?php
class OrgTree {
    public $users;
    public function __construct($users) {
        $this->users = $users;
    }

    private function getUserById($userId) {
        return array_values(array_filter($this->users, function($user) use ($userId) {
            return $user['id'] === $userId;
        }))[0] ?? null;
    }

    private function getUsersByParentId($parentId) {
        return array_values(array_filter($this->users, function($user) use ($parentId) {
            return $user['parentid'] === $parentId;
        }));
    }
     

    private function buildTree($userDetails, $maxDepth, $currentDepth = 0) 
    {
        $info = [
            "name" => $userDetails['firstname'],
            "user_id" => $userDetails['id'],
            "user_code" => $userDetails['usercode'],
            "parent_id" => $userDetails['parentid'],
            "email" => $userDetails['email'],
        ];
        if ($maxDepth > $currentDepth) {
            $childUsers = $this->getUsersByParentId($userDetails['id']);
            $nextDepth = ++$currentDepth;
            $info['children'] = array_map(function($childUser) use ($nextDepth, $maxDepth) {
                return $this->buildTree($childUser, $maxDepth, $nextDepth);
            }, $childUsers);
        }
        return $info;
    }
    
    public function createOrgTree($userId, $maxDepth = 4) {
        return $this->buildTree($this->getUserById($userId), $maxDepth);
    }
}

You just need to pass in the users from your db:

public function viewOrgChart(Request $request) {
    $user_id = $request->user_id;
    $depth = 4; // get this from request if needed

    $user_details = $this->wpmlm_get_all_user_details_join();
           
    $orgTree = new OrgTree($user_details);
    $tree = $orgTree->createOrgTree($user_id, $depth);

    $treeJson = json_encode($tree);
}

You could also alter the class to pull users from the database as needed instead of receiving the full list at the start, as if you have a huge amount of users that approach would be more efficient, especially with low $depth values.

To do that you'd just remove:

public $users;
public function __construct($users) {
    $this->users;
}

and change getUserById and getUsersByParentId to perform SQL queries and return the data.

hi Matt, it throw error at return $user['id'] === $userId; Error Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

Matt Over a year ago

How are you getting the users from db? Sounds like you need to get them as assoc array rather than object

i need help Over a year ago

i use laravel, they no longer support db FETCH_ASSOC, tried the toArray(); but doesn't work. I'm now thinking to manually reconstruct, is this suitable? foreach($results as $row) { $id = $row->id; $firstname = $row->firstname; $parentid = $row->parentid; $email = $row->email; $resultsxx[$id] = array( 'id' => $id, 'firstname' => $firstname, 'parentid' => $parentid, 'email' => $email ); }

Matt Over a year ago

Sorry I didn't realise that, your original example uses array access so I assumed that would work. The easiest way is probably to change any array accesses in the OrgTree class from array access, e.g., $user['firstname'] to object access, e.g., $user->firstname
