Question

To implement this feature I had created a a column replyTo which relates to the comment_id in the same table. The original comments have this as 0. The problem I face is what could be the best way to show them.

In my model, I have created a function nested_comments() to get them and in my view I was doing like, this.

<? foreach( $comments as $comment ): ?>
....
          <? foreach( $comment->nested_comments() as $comm): ?>

But that is only fine if I have one level of nested comments. Actually, I wish if there was a way to do this in the view. I don’t wish to create another view file and controller for this purpose alone.

You can use function, Like below:

function getComments($comments){
      if(!is_array($comments)){
          return;
       }
     foreach($comments as $key => $value){
          // do what you want with comments
          getComments($nestedComments);
     }
}

it’s not ready to use function, but you can work in the same way.
