Get max depth of nested shortcodes

We’re not aware of a way of getting the number of nested layers that you have. For reference, our plugin implements the “do_shortcode” functionality as per this part of the codex:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Shortcode_API#Nested_Shortcodes

Please let us know if you find a way to get the max-depth info!

Hi Mike,

Thanks.

I did not find the way but I am on it, I think the best approach is to try end get the regex and then try to put it into a recursive PHP function, something along these lines –

<?php
function do_shortcode($content) {
    global $shortcode_tags;

    if (empty($shortcode_tags) || !is_array($shortcode_tags))
        return $content;

    $pattern = get_shortcode_regex();
    return preg_replace_callback( "/$pattern/s", 'do_shortcode_tag', $content );
}
    $elements = parse($pattern);

    if (count($elements) > 0) {
        echo "Elements found: <b>".count($elements)."</b><br />";

        foreach ($elements as $element) {
            echo "<p>Tpl node: <pre>".htmlentities($element->node)."</pre>
            Tagname: <tt>".$element->tagname."</tt><br />
            Attributes: <tt>".$element->attributes."</tt><br />
            Omittag: <tt>".($element->omittag ? 'true' : 'false')."</tt><br />
            Inner HTML: <pre>".htmlentities($element->inner_html)."</pre></p>";
        }
    }
?>

I’d most appreciate your remarks,
Cheers,
Amit
