How can recursive functions or SQL queries be utilized in PHP to traverse and process hierarchical data structures for calculating bonuses and commissions in a Multilevel Marketing network?

To calculate bonuses and commissions in a Multilevel Marketing network, we can use recursive functions in PHP to traverse the hierarchical data structure representing the network. By recursively processing each level of the network and calculating the bonuses or commissions based on the specific rules, we can accurately determine the earnings for each member. 

function calculateCommission($member_id) {
    $commission = 0;
    
    // Retrieve all direct referrals of the current member
    $referrals = getDirectReferrals($member_id);
    
    // Calculate commission for each referral
    foreach($referrals as $referral) {
        $commission += calculateCommission($referral);
    }
    
    // Calculate commission for the current member based on specific rules
    $commission += calculateMemberCommission($member_id);
    
    return $commission;
}

// Recursive function to calculate commission for each member
$totalCommission = calculateCommission($root_member_id);
echo "Total commission earned: $" . $totalCommission;
