How can i add subcategories against main categories id in magento

Question

I'm trying to add categories programatically. Here is my code:

<?php
function stringtourlKey($collectionName, $separator = '-')
    {
        $accents_regex = '~&([a-z]{1,2})(?:acute|cedil|circ|grave|lig|orn|ring|slash|th|tilde|uml);~i';
        $special_cases = array('&' => 'and');
        $string = mb_strtolower(trim($collectionName), 'UTF-8');
        $string = str_replace(array_keys($special_cases), array_values($special_cases), $string);
        $string = preg_replace($accents_regex, '$1', htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
        $string = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9]/u", "$separator", $string);
        $string = preg_replace("/[$separator]+/u", "$separator", $string);
        return trim($string, "-");
    }

$allGenre   =   array(
                    "Suits & Suit Separates",
                    "Shirts",
                    "Pants",
                    "Sportcoats & Blazers",
                    "Swimwear",
                    "Athletic Clothing",
                    "Loungewear",
                    "Outerwear",
                    "Underwear","All Clothing"
                );

foreach($allGenre as $categoryStr) {
    $collectionName = $categoryStr;

    $urlKey = stringtourlKey($collectionName);

    try {
        $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
        $category->setName($collectionName);
        $category->setUrlKey($urlKey);
        $category->setIsActive(1);
        $category->setDisplayMode('PRODUCTS');
        $category->setIsAnchor(1); //for active achor
        $category->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
        $parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(205);
        $category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath());
        $var = $category->save();
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        var_dump($e);
    }
}
?>

But through this script, one by one I'm trying to add categories and then pass sub category id then play script one by one. I want to add categories and their subcategories against his id at one time, is that possible or anyone have like that script. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is solution of my question :-)

function stringtourlKey($collectionName, $separator = '-'){
          $accents_regex = '~&([a-z]{1,2})(?:acute|cedil|circ|grave|lig|orn|ring|slash|th|tilde|uml);~i';
          $special_cases = array('&' => 'and');
          $string = mb_strtolower(trim($collectionName), 'UTF-8');
          $string = str_replace(array_keys($special_cases), array_values($special_cases), $string);
          $string = preg_replace($accents_regex, '$1', htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
          $string = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9]/u", "$separator", $string);
          $string = preg_replace("/[$separator]+/u", "$separator", $string);
          return trim($string, "-");
        }

"Home Improvement"                  =>  array("Storage & Organization", "Sinks", "Faucets"),
"Bath"                              =>  array("Bath Accessories", "Vanities")


foreach($array as $parent => $vals){
        $collectionName = $parent;

        $urlKey = stringtourlKey($collectionName);

try{
        $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
        $category->setName($collectionName);
        $category->setUrlKey($urlKey);
        $category->setIsActive(1);
        $category->setDisplayMode('PRODUCTS');
        $category->setIsAnchor(1); //for active achor
        $category->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
        $parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(14080);
        $category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath());

        $var = $category->save();
        $cat_id = $category->getId();

            if(is_array($vals)){
            foreach ($vals as $key => $child){

            $collectionName = $child;

                $urlKey = stringtourlKey($collectionName);

                try{
                    $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
                    $category->setName($collectionName);
                    $category->setUrlKey($urlKey);
                    $category->setIsActive(1);
                    $category->setDisplayMode('PRODUCTS');
                    $category->setIsAnchor(1); //for active achor
                    $category->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
                    $parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat_id);
                    $category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath());

                    $var = $category->save();
                    }catch(Exception $e) {
                    var_dump($e);
                    }
                }
            }



        } catch(Exception $e) {
        var_dump($e);
        }
        }

and now it's working fine with just once play script, thanks to me :-P
