Structure Bottom-Top Output

A snippet catching all available cat-ids between the specified level to the specified parent level.

In other words: Is the current category a part of the subcategories of the given parent category?

  • Input: Actual category-ID ($start), parent category-ID ($top > 0)
  • Return:
    1. on success: String separated by commas with all the IDs of the searched tree structure
    2. on failure: Empty string = ''

Example:

Given structure

 ------------------------------------
L  E  V  E  L
.:  :  :  :
.0  1  2  3   <- LEVEL-No.
.:  :  :  :
-+ home   :                    ID=0

------------------------------------


Function call: $s = buildStruct_BottomTop(7, 2); category_02_01_02 → ID=07, category_02 → ID=02

Output $s: 7,4,2


Function call: $s = buildStruct_BottomTop(7, 3); category_02_01_02 → ID=07, category_03 → ID=03

Output $s: '' → The string is empty because the category ID=7 is not within the structure of the category tree from category ID=3 .
