taxonomy_get_tree
- Versions
- 4.6 – 6
taxonomy_get_tree($vid, $parent = 0, $depth = -1, $max_depth = NULL)- 7
taxonomy_get_tree($vid, $parent = 0, $max_depth = NULL, $depth = -1)
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.
$depth Internal use only.
$max_depth The number of levels of the tree to return. Leave NULL to return all levels.
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.

Doesn't return nested arrays
Keep in mind that taxonomy_get_tree doesn't actually return a tree of nested arrays - it returns a flat array of terms, with terms having a "parents" attribute.
