help needed..
The following code from admin/includes/functions/articles.php get stuck in an infinite loop until memory_limit is reached and an error message is displayed in the admin panel.
This is the function that is causing the infinite loop:
function tep_get_topic_tree($parent_id = '0', $spacing = '', $exclude = '', $topic_tree_array = '', $include_itself = false) {
global $languages_id;
if (!is_array($topic_tree_array)) $topic_tree_array = array();
if ( (sizeof($topic_tree_array) < 1) && ($exclude != '0') ) $topic_tree_array[] = array('id' => '0', 'text' => TEXT_TOP);
if ($include_itself) {
$topic_query = tep_db_query("select cd.topics_name from " . TABLE_TOPICS_DESCRIPTION . " cd where cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and cd.topics_id = '" . (int)$parent_id . "'");
$topic = tep_db_fetch_array($topic_query);
$topic_tree_array[] = array('id' => $parent_id, 'text' => $topic['topics_name']);
}
$topics_query = tep_db_query("select c.topics_id, cd.topics_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_TOPICS . " c, " . TABLE_TOPICS_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.topics_id = cd.topics_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$parent_id . "' order by c.sort_order, cd.topics_name");
while ($topics = tep_db_fetch_array($topics_query)) {
if ($exclude != $topics['topics_id']) $topic_tree_array[] = array('id' => $topics['topics_id'], 'text' => $spacing . $topics['topics_name']);
$topic_tree_array = tep_get_topic_tree($topics['topics_id'], $spacing . ' ', $exclude, $topic_tree_array);
}
return $topic_tree_array;
}
