JustGags Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm trying to create a simple threaded comment system in PHP. The problem I'm having is that the first sub-comment begins an infinite loop and starts displaying endlessly. I'm sure there is a simple fix for this. <?php function commentDisp($row, $level) { $userid = $row["userid"]; $sql = "SELECT username FROM users WHERE userid='$userid'"; $username = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)); ?> <div style="margin-right: 50px; height: 15px; background-color: #C9C9C9; margin-top: 15px; margin-left: <?php echo 300 + 50 * $level; ?>px; padding: 5px;"> <p style="color: #444444; font-size: .75em;"> Posted by: <?php echo $username["username"]; ?> | Posted on: <?php echo $row["timestamp"]; ?> </p></div> <div style="border: 1px solid #C9C9C9; margin: 0px; margin-right: 50px; margin-left: <?php echo 300 + 50 * $level; ?>px; padding: 5px;"> <p style="font-size: .75em;"><?php echo $row["body"]; ?></p></div> <?php } function ifChildComm($commid) { $sql = "SELECT COUNT(commid) FROM comments WHERE parent='$commid'"; $childCount = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)); if ($childCount["COUNT(commid)"] != '0') { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } } function fetchComm($parent,$propid) { $sql = "SELECT commid,userid,body,timestamp FROM comments WHERE propid='$propid' AND parent='$parent'"; $commQuery = mysql_query($sql); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($commQuery)) { commentDisp($row, 0); $commid = $row["commid"]; while (ifChildComm($commid) == TRUE) { fetchComm($commid,$propid); } } } echo "<p style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-left: 300px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"> Discussion & Critique</p>"; fetchComm('0', $propid); ?> Thanks in advance!
