Detailed Description

The "CategoryFinder" class takes a list of articles, creates an internal representation of all their parent categories (as well as parents of parents etc.).

From this representation, it determines which of these articles are in one or all of a given subset of categories.

Example use :

# Determines whether the article with the page_id 12345 is in both
# "Category 1" and "Category 2" or their subcategories, respectively
 
$cf = new CategoryFinder;
$cf->seed(
    [ 12345 ],
    [ 'Category 1', 'Category 2' ],
    'AND'
);
$a = $cf->run();
print implode( ',' , $a );

check()

CategoryFinder::check ( $id, & $conds, $path = [] )

private

This functions recurses through the parent representation, trying to match the conditions.

Parameters

int	$id	The article/category to check
array	$conds	The array of categories to match
array	$path	Used to check for recursion loops

Returns

bool Does this match the conditions?

getParents()

CategoryFinder::getParents

(

)

Get the parents.

Only really useful if run() has been called already

Returns

array

run()

CategoryFinder::run

Returns

array Array of page_ids (those given to seed() that match the conditions)

seed()

CategoryFinder::seed	(		$articleIds,

Do this prior to calling run().

Parameters

array	$articleIds	Array of article IDs
array	$categories	FIXME
string	$mode	FIXME, default 'AND'.
int	$maxdepth	Maximum layer depth. Where: -1 means deep recursion (default); 0 means no-parents; 1 means one parent layer, etc.
