Yes, I mean unlimited levels of subcategories.
I don't need to do any back tracking up the hierarchy to find a products parents etc.
Products are completely flat.
I'm more concerned about being able to create a properly formatted multidimensional array of categories and children for passing to form_dropdown(). I think once I understand how it would properly be done I can manage to create other datasets for menu systems etc, on my own.
Thanks for the help.

When you say:
Quote:I'm building a small online shop that requires unlimited subcategories as well as a many-to-many relationship between categories and products.
Do you mean that there are unlimited
levels of sub-categories - such as children, grand children, great-grand children, and so on forever? Or just that you can have lots of subcategories?
The fact that categories:products is n:m might make this slightly more confusing, if you want to be able to track back up the multiple parents(?).
Am I right in assuming that Products are completely flat here - there's no hierarchy at all for them?[/quote]
