Yes i think you're right ;-)…

here the two functions I can't get to work in php.
the array who is feeding the function "GenerateNestedArray" has this structure:
$mArrContent[1][0]=0; 'counter
$mArrContent[1][1]=42; 'id
$mArrContent[1][2]="folder"; 'folder or page
$mArrContent[1][3]="Leistungen"; 'title
$mArrContent[1][4]=34; 'parent id

my goal is to build a multidimensional array with the right folder structure


ASP
