Question

If I have a piece of code like this:

$get_categories = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM categories");
$categories = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_categories);

The category table contains all the different categories and their sub categories and their sub categories etc.

How can I make some php code which generate a list like this:

Main Category
-Sub Category
- -Sub Sub Category
- -Sub Sub Category
- - -Sub Sub Sub Category etc
-Sub Category
Main Category

A list of all categories and their sub categories and their sub categories and so on.

I cannot see how I am able to do with without making a while loop for each sub category level (which is stupid as I would then have to create 50 levels to make sure it works with if I have 50 levels of sub categories).

I hope I make sense.

Thanks
