Want to show Directory Tree of server (PHP) at client side using FLEX? -

using recursivedirectoryiterator of php able create directory tree , can flatten using recursiveiteratoriterator class , want create directory tree structure tree component of flex understands . following array structure in php flex understands.

array('label'=>'rootdirectory','children'=>array(array('label'=>'subfolder1','children'=>array(array('label'=>'file.jpg'))),array('label'=>'emtptyfolder','children'=>array()))); 

please show me way create whole directory structure @ server side above array format. in advance !!

you may adjust code needs. not copy & paste solution needed different usecase, should @ least halfway implementing own solution it. key lies in adjusting methods recursiveiteratoriterator call when traversing directory tree.
