I have an array like this one:
$array = array(
array('id' => 'foo.bar'),
array('id' => 'foo'),
array('id' => 'foo.baz.bar'),
array('id' => 'foo.bar.bar'),
);
I can split
the id
fields to get them as paths, and then I'd like to sort them into a tree... I tried this:
$result = array();
foreach($array as $element) {
$path = explode('.', $element['id']);
$subtree = $result;
while(!empty($path)) {
$path_element = array_shift($path);
if(empty($path_element)) {
$subtree['data'] = $element;
} else {
if(!is_array($subtree[$path_element])) {
$subtree[$path_element] = array();
}
$subtree = $subtree[$path_element];
}
}
}
But all I get is a load of warnings and an empty $res
-Array.

(Line 24 is $s = $s[$pe];
)
Any hint?
EDIT: My desired output would be like this
$res = array(
'foo' => array(
'data' => ...
'bar' => array(
'data' => ...
'bar' => array(
'data' => ...
),
),
'baz' => array(
'bar' => array(
'data' => ...
),
),
),
);
The data
elements are the original elements from the array.
