Bug #26251 how to write a recursive query to get the bosses (referrals)of that employer

Description:
i have  two tables Referal that holds info on the referal_id,amount,position_id,referalParent_id,etc and ReferalApplied table contains referalApplied id ,status,and referal_id which is pointing to the Referal.referal_id.

here am implementing the Referral process code.
when ever that referal send a referal mail to the JobApplicant say A, that data stored in the first table. for this id am maintaing referalparent_id as the id of the referal who has sent mail to him,and only for first time referal mail am adding the amount in the DB.
if this A is sending referal mail to some other jobApplicant say B, now also data will be stored in the first table.for this referalParent_id as referal_id of the A.
and soon
if this  B is applied for the position then this data am storing in the second table  status as Applied , when ever he Joined in that poisition then am changing status as Joined.

now wt i have to do is ,

for perticular referal_id , i have to show  all the list of Joined candidates Referal_id s    (directly/indirectly) and the amount he is going to get

to get the above result how to write a query?

(Directly: candidate who have joined for that position, his  immediate referalParent_id is equal to the referal_id of that candidate

Indirectly: candidate who joined for that position , his immediate referalParent_id is not equal to the referal_id of that candidate but he should be the child of that candidate.)

amount : first time  i have entered amount  as 10000 then it can be equally  divided to all the childs until one of candidate get joined for that position.
