I'm not saying it's necessarily the best way to do it, but this is
certainly one way. The categories are stored as a multidimensional,
associative array. Each element needs to be an array, even if it's
empty. The recursive function displayCats() then loops through the whole
thing and produces the nested results you seek.

<?php
$cats = array('Top Level 1' => array(
'sub a' => array(), 'sub b' => array(), 'sub c' => array()),
'Top Level 2' => array(
'sub d' => array(
'sub sub a' => array(), 'sub sub b' => array()),
'sub e' => array(
'sub sub c' => array(), 'sub sub d' => array()),
'sub f' => array(
'sub sub e' => array(), 'sub sub f' => array(), 'sub sub g' =>
array())),
'Top Level 3' => array(),
'Top Level 4' => array(),
'Top Level 5' => array());

function displayCats($array) {
echo "<ul>\n";
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
echo "<li>$key</li>\n";
if ($value) {
displayCats($value);
}
}
echo "</ul>\n";
}

displayCats($cats);
?>
