natasha_thomas Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Folks, I have a flat file or CSV, which has the tree structure of the Nesed Categories (All are delimited by either > or tab, it can be set easily). I want a PHP/Mysql code/routine that i can automaticaly create a table in MYsql with Parent Child relationship. Logic is there in my mind, every distinct Node will be an ID which while every child node will have the PID (parent ID) of its Parent. So the below data from flat file (Actual Data can be N Level Deep at least 4 Level): Electronics Electronics > Phones Electronics > Phones > Iphone Electronics > Phones > LG Electronics > Phones > Samsung Electronics > Phones > Samsung > 3G Electronics > Laptops Electronics > Laptops > Dell Electronics > Laptops > Sony Electronics > Laptops > HP Electronics > Laptops > HP > Core 2 Duo Will look like this in Mysql Table Structure: http://pastie.org/1592730 This is the Logic i need ot adopt, but i have no clue on how to code it to extract in this table structure and define this paren tchild mapping automatically. Can someone Help me out wiht this? Cheers Natasha T Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228469-auto-nested-categories-from-flat-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You would need to write a script for this, MySql won't do it alone. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228469-auto-nested-categories-from-flat-file/#findComment-1178094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
