9行代码太浪费了，5行代码足矣，不用递归实现无限分类数据的树形格式化

我们知道很多开源软件的无限分类都是采用递归的算法，但是我们知道递归即浪费时间，又浪费空间（内存），
上次我也分享了个我自己原创的无限分类生成树的方法，一热心php高手网友给我提出了宝贵的建议，我测试了一下，这段代码的时间非常之短，参考： http://www.oschina.net/code/snippet_98719_11296，我再次整理了一下，发现数据库查询出数据之后，我们就已经定好了键值，因而实践中，我们一般会在model中查询出格式化成主键值对应数据的形式，因而我们可以直接用这样的数据，就少了一层循环。代码也非常简洁。

    foreach ($items as $item)
        $items[$item['pid']]['son'][$item['id']] = &$items[$item['id']];
    return isset($items[0]['son']) ? $items[0]['son'] : array();
}

/**

function genTree9($items) {
    $tree = array(); //格式化好的树
    foreach ($items as $item)
        if (isset($items[$item['pid']]))
            $items[$item['pid']]['son'][] = &$items[$item['id']];
        else
            $tree[] = &$items[$item['id']];
    return $tree;
}

$items = array(
    1 => array('id' => 1, 'pid' => 0, 'name' => '江西省'),
