I have the following query to my categories table:

 

SELECT l1.id as lev1_id,l2.id as lev2_id,l3.id as lev3_id,l1.category AS lev1, l2.category as lev2, l3.category as lev3

FROM categories AS l1

LEFT JOIN categories AS l2 ON l2.parentCat = l1.id

LEFT JOIN categories AS l3 ON l3.parentCat = l2.id

WHERE l1.parentCat = NULL

 

 

Which outputs something like:

-------------------------------------------------------

lev1_id | lev2_id | lev3_id |lev1 | lev2 | lev3 |

------------------------------------------------------

1 | 4 | 7 |makeup | lipstick | wet look

1 | 4 | 8 |makeup | lipstick |matt

1 | 5 | 9 |makeup | mascara| black

2 | 11 | NULL|skincare|creame | NULL

3 | 12 | 13 |haircare |hairspray| Xtra Hold

 

 

I want to be able to display this data as a tree with 3 levels. I know a foreach is a good place to start but I get stuck after that. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
