taxonomy_get_tree

Create a hierarchical representation of a vocabulary.

Parameters

$vid: Which vocabulary to generate the tree for.

$parent: The term ID under which to generate the tree. If 0, generate the tree for the entire vocabulary.

$max_depth: The number of levels of the tree to return. Leave NULL to return all levels.

$load_entities: If TRUE, a full entity load will occur on the term objects. Otherwise they are partial objects queried directly from the {taxonomy_term_data} table to save execution time and memory consumption when listing large numbers of terms. Defaults to FALSE.

Return value

An array of all term objects in the tree. Each term object is extended to have "depth" and "parents" attributes in addition to its normal ones. Results are statically cached. Term objects will be partial or complete depending on the $load_entities parameter.
