In your example is arrays as you store this records in database.

For output tree structure you should convert it to tree structure.

For example:

  1. Change array and use cat_id as key in main array.
  2. Add to each item field childs = array(); And store in this array ids for childs category.
  3. Find root categories (where parent == 0) and save ids in childs field for item with key "0".

Step 1 you can make when you load data from fro database. Steps 2 and 3 can make in one iteration (foreach)

After this your example will similar

array(
  [0] => stdClass Object
    (
      [cat_id] => 0,
      [childs] => array( [0]=>63 )
      ...
    )
  [63]=> stdClass Object
    (
      [cat_id] => 63,
      [childs] => array( [0]=>64 )
      ...
    )

Then you can output tree. Just begin with key = 0 and output all childs. For each child in first out title and then all childs. You should use recursion function.
