递归函数插入多维数组到mysql PHP

Question

我有一个应用程序，需要存储多维数组到几个mysql表。当遍历数组时，我需要找到特定的键，将值插入数据库并将创建的DB ID传递给数组中的子元素。例如，如果有一个键"unit"找到它，获取标题，插入数据库，返回id，将id传递给下一次迭代。在下一次迭代中，我从单元获得id并搜索课程，保存具有单元id的课程。

数组的层次结构。

下面是post表单输出的一个示例。有随机生成的id，因为表单是由用户动态创建的。我应该坚持使用for循环还是使用递归来解决我的问题?如果递归在这里是可能的，任何帮助是非常感激的。谢谢你。

我更喜欢递归，作为更灵活的方法

$structure = ["Unit"=>
                      ["Lesson"=>[],
                       "Quiz"=>
                               ["Question"=>
                                            ["Answers"=>[]]]]];
function insertItems($array, $parent_db_id, $structure) {
   // at first step $object_name=Unit, at second Lesson, quiz
   foreach ($structure as $object_name=>$next_level_structure) {
     // loop through objects (at first step units, at second Lessons, quizes)
     foreach ($array[$object_name] as $object_id=>$object) {
       // ... insert in db $object_id, $object['title'], $parent_db_id etc
       // retrieve $inserted_db_id ...
       // next recursion level if next level not empty
       if ($next_level_structure) {
          insertItems($object, $inserted_db_id, $next_level_structure);
          }
       }  
     }
}
insertItem($data, null, $structure);
