Is there a function to extract a 'column' from an array in PHP?
(15 answers)
Closed last month.
I have an array which is multidimensional for no reason
/* This is how my array is currently */
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[plan] => basic
)
[1] => Array
(
[plan] => small
)
[2] => Array
(
[plan] => novice
)
[3] => Array
(
[plan] => professional
)
[4] => Array
(
[plan] => master
)
[5] => Array
(
[plan] => promo
)
[6] => Array
(
[plan] => newplan
)
)
)
I want to convert this array into this form
/*Now, I want to simply it down to this*/
Array (
[0] => basic
[1] => small
[2] => novice
[3] => professional
[4] => master
[5] => promo
[6] => newplan
)
Any idea how to do this?
This single line would do that:
$array = array_column($array, 'plan');
The first argument is an array | The second argument is an array key.
For details, go to official documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-column.php.
Assuming this array may or may not be redundantly nested and you're unsure of how deep it goes, this should flatten it for you:
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, array_flatten($value));
}
else {
$result[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
If you come across a multidimensional array that is pure data, like this one below, then you can use a single call to array_merge() to do the job via reflection:
$arrayMult = [ ['a','b'] , ['c', 'd'] ];
$arraySingle = call_user_func_array('array_merge', $arrayMult);
// $arraySingle is now = ['a','b', 'c', 'd'];
Just assign it to it's own first element:
$array = $array[0];
For this particular case, this'll do:
$array = array_map('current', $array[0]);
It's basically the exact same question is this one, look at some answers there: PHP array merge from unknown number of parameters.
$singleArray = array();
foreach ($multiDimensionalArray as $key => $value){
$singleArray[$key] = $value['plan'];
}
this is best way to create a array from multiDimensionalArray array.

Write this code and get your solution , $subcate is your multi dimensional array.
$singleArrayForCategory = array_reduce($subcate, 'array_merge', array());
none of answers helped me, in case when I had several levels of nested arrays. the solution is almost same as #AlienWebguy already did, but with tiny difference.
function nestedToSingle(array $array)
{
$singleDimArray = [];
foreach ($array as $item) {
if (is_array($item)) {
$singleDimArray = array_merge($singleDimArray, nestedToSingle($item));
} else {
$singleDimArray[] = $item;
}
}
return $singleDimArray;
}
test example
$array = [
'first',
'second',
[
'third',
'fourth',
],
'fifth',
[
'sixth',
[
'seventh',
'eighth',
[
'ninth',
[
[
'tenth'
]
]
],
'eleventh'
]
],
'twelfth'
];
$array = nestedToSingle($array);
print_r($array);
//output
array:12 [
0 => "first"
1 => "second"
2 => "third"
3 => "fourth"
4 => "fifth"
5 => "sixth"
6 => "seventh"
7 => "eighth"
8 => "ninth"
9 => "tenth"
10 => "eleventh"
11 => "twelfth"
]
You can do it just using a loop.
$singleArray = array();
foreach ($multiDimensionalArray as $key => $value){
$singleArray[$key] = $value['plan'];
}
Your sample array has 3 levels. Because the first level has only [0], you can hardcode your access into it and avoid an extra function/construct call.
(Code Demos)
array_walk_recursive() is handy and versatile, but for this task may be overkill and certainly a bit more convoluted in terms of readability.
array_walk_recursive($array, function($leafvalue)use(&$flat){$flat[] = $leafvalue;});
var_export($flat);
If this was my code, I'd be using array_column() because it is direct and speaks literally about the action being performed.
var_export(array_column($array[0], 'plan'));
Of course a couple of `foreach() loops will perform very efficiently because language constructs generally perform more efficiently than function calls.
foreach ($array[0] as $plans) {
foreach ($plans as $value) {
$flat[] = $value;
}
}
var_export($flat);
Finally, as a funky alternative (which I can't imagine actually putting to use unless I was writing code for someone whom I didn't care for) I'll offer an array_merge_recursive() call with a splat operator (...).
var_export(array_merge_recursive(...$array[0])['plan']);
Despite that array_column will work nice here, in case you need to flatten any array no matter of it's internal structure you can use this array library to achieve it without ease:
$flattened = Arr::flatten($array);
which will produce exactly the array you want.
This simple code you can use
$array = array_column($array, 'value', 'key');
Recently I've been using AlienWebguy's array_flatten function but it gave me a problem that was very hard to find the cause of.
array_merge causes problems, and this isn't the first time that I've made problems with it either. If you have the same array keys in one inner array that you do in another, then the later values will overwrite the previous ones in the merged array.
Here's a different version of array_flatten without using array_merge:
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$arrayList=array_flatten($value);
foreach ($arrayList as $listItem) {
$result[] = $listItem;
}
}
else {
$result[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
There is an error in most voted answer. Here is the correct version.
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, array_flatten($value));
}
else {
$result[] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
The difference is on the line $result[] = $value;
Original answer was $result[$key] = $value;
The $key index is incorrect after flattering any array in the cycle.
Following this pattern
$input = array(10, 20, array(30, 40), array('key1' => '50', 'key2'=>array(60), 70));
Call the function :
echo "<pre>";print_r(flatten_array($input, $output=null));
Function Declaration :
function flatten_array($input, $output=null) {
if($input == null) return null;
if($output == null) $output = array();
foreach($input as $value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
$output = flatten_array($value, $output);
} else {
array_push($output, $value);
}
}
return $output;
}
I've written a complement to the accepted answer. In case someone, like myself need a prefixed version of the keys, this can be helpful.
Array

<?php
function flattenOptions($array, $old = '') {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, flattenOptions($value, $key));
}
else {
$result[$old . '.' . $key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
I had come across the same requirement to flatter multidimensional array into single dimensional array than search value using text in key. here is my code
$data = '{
"json_data": [{
"downtime": true,
"pfix": {
"max": 100,
"threshold": 880

"device": "laptop",
"int": "Ether3",
"ip": "127.0.0.3"
}],
"eth": {
"lan": 57
}
}
},
{
"downtime": false,
"lsi": "987654",
"pfix": {
"min": 10000,
"threshold": 890

"int": "Ten",
"ip": "1.1.1.1",

"lan": 2
}
}
}
]
}
';
$data = json_decode($data,true);
$stack = &$data;
$separator = '.';
$toc = array();
while ($stack) {
list($key, $value) = each($stack);
unset($stack[$key]);
if (is_array($value)) {
$build = array($key => ''); # numbering without a title.
foreach ($value as $subKey => $node)
$build[$key . $separator . $subKey] = $node;
$stack = $build + $stack;
continue;
}
if(!is_numeric($key)){
$toc[$key] = $value;
}
}
echo '<pre/>';
print_r($toc);
My output:

Multi dimensional array to single array with one line code !!!
Enjoy the code.

Try this it works for me:
$newArray = array();
foreach($operator_call_logs as $array) {
foreach($array as $k=>$v) {
$newArray[$k] = $v;
}
}
Save this as a php file, simply import and use single_array() function
<?php
$GLOBALS['single_array']=[];
function array_conveter($array_list){
if(is_array($array_list)){
foreach($array_list as $array_ele){
if(is_array($array_ele)){
array_conveter($array_ele);
}else{
array_push($GLOBALS['single_array'],$array_ele);
}
}
}else{
array_push($GLOBALS['single_array'],$array_list);
}
}
function single_array($mix){
foreach($mix as $single){
array_conveter($single);
}return $GLOBALS['single_array'];
$GLOBALS['single_array']=[];
}
/* Example convert your multi array to single */
$mix_array=[3,4,5,[4,6,6,7],'abc'];
print_r(single_array($mix_array));
?>
if use php version 7.4 and above
$users = [
[
'Ahmed',
'Mohammed',
],
[
'Saeed',
'Rami',
'Haider',
],
];
$admin = array_merge(...$users);
I have this array written below, and I know it isnt pretty, sorry. I come to this array structure as it is the only way I could think of when dealing with my post request.
$_POST = array("person" => array(
[1] => array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob"),
[2] => array("id" => 2, "name" => "jim")
)
);
I want to be able to pick "name" from certain "id", so below code is what I came up with. In the example below, if person["id"] is equal to 1, retrieve its "name" which is "bob".
foreach ($_POST as $dataSet) {
foreach ($dataSet as $person) {
foreach ($person as $field => $value) {
if ($person["id"] == 1) {
echo $person["name"];
}
}
}
}
The problem I am having is as I execute the code.
the result is bobbob,
it seems like the code looped the if statement twice (same as the number of elements in the person array). I know if I put break into the code, then it will solve it, but anyone know why it looped twice? Maybe this will deepen my foreach and array understanding.
There is no need to have third nested loop. Hope this one will be helpful.
Problem: In the third loop you were iterating over Persons: array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob") which have two keys. and you are checking only single static key $person["id"], that's why it was printing twice.
Solution 1:
Try this code snippet here
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$POSTData = array("person" => array(
1 => array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob"),
2 => array("id" => 2, "name" => "jim")
)
);
foreach ($POSTData as $dataSet)
{
foreach ($dataSet as $person)
{
if ($person["id"] == 1)
{
echo $person["name"];
}
}
}
Solution 2:
Alternatively you can try this single line solution.
Try this code snippet here
echo array_column($POSTData["person"],"name","id")[1];//here 1 is the `id` you want.
You must have seen the other answers, and they have already said that you dont need the 3rd loop. but still if you want to keep the third loop.
you can use this code.
foreach ($_POST as $dataSet) {
foreach ($dataSet as $person) {
foreach ($person as $field => $value) {
if($value == 1){
echo $person['name'];
}
}
}
}
No need of third foreach
<?php
$mainArr = array("person" => array(
1 => array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob"),
2 => array("id" => 2, "name" => "jim")
)
);
foreach ($mainArr as $dataSet) {
foreach ($dataSet as $person) {
if ($person["id"] == 1) {
echo $person["name"];
break;
}
}
}
?>
Live demo : https://eval.in/855386
Although it's unclear why you need to do a POST in this fashion, here's how to get "bob" only once:
<?php
$_POST = array("person" => array(
1 => array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob"),
2 => array("id" => 2, "name" => "jim")
)
);
$arr = array_pop($_POST);
foreach($arr as $a) {
if ($a["id"] == 1) {
echo $a["name"];
}
}
Array_pop() is useful for removing the first element of the array whose value is an array itself which looks like this:
array(2) {
[1]=>
array(2) {
["id"]=>
int(1)
["name"]=>
string(3) "bob"
}
[2]=>
array(2) {
["id"]=>
int(2)
["name"]=>
string(3) "jim"
}
}
When the if conditional evaluates as true which occurs only once then the name "bob" displays.
See live code.
Alternatively, you could use a couple of loops as follows:
foreach ($_POST["person"] as $data) {
foreach ($data as $value) {
if ( $value == 1) {
echo $data["name"],"\n";
}
}
}
See demo
As you mentioned, I want to be able to pick name from certain id, : No need of nested looping for that. You can do like this using array_column and array_search :
$data = array("person" => array(
1 => array("id" => 1, "name" => "bob"),
2 => array("id" => 2, "name" => "jim")
)
);
// 1 is id you want to search for
$key = array_search(1, array_column($data['person'], 'id'));
echo $data['person'][$key + 1]['name']; // $key + 1 as you have started array with 1
Output:
bob
with foreach:
foreach ($data as $dataValue) {
foreach ($dataValue as $person) {
if ($person['id'] === 1) {
echo $person["name"];
}
}
}
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I have an array with different keys/values, I want to do a loop that allows me to put in different code wrappings. I'm working with an array that I'm trying to get as an XML.
This is an example of what I have..
I have what came with the code commented out and what I'm trying to do just below it in the foreach
// Multidimensional array
$superheroes = array(
"spider-man" => array(
"name" => "Peter Parker",
"email" => "peterparker#mail.com",
),
"super-man" => array(
"name" => "Clark Kent",
"email" => "clarkkent#mail.com",
),
"iron-man" => array(
"name" => "Harry Potter",
"email" => "harrypotter#mail.com",
)
);
// Printing all the keys and values one by one
$keys = array_keys($superheroes);
for($i = 0; $i < count($superheroes); $i++) {
echo $keys[$i] . "{<br>";
foreach($superheroes[$keys[$i]] as $key => $value) {
// echo $key . " : " . $value . "------";
echo '<wp:meta_key>'.$value['email'].'<wp:meta_key>';
echo '<wp:meta_value><![CDATA['.$value['name'].']]></wp:meta_value>';
}
echo "}<br>";
}
This is how you iterate the array, two levels deep:
foreach($superheroes as $key => $hero) {
echo $key."\n";
foreach ($hero as $heroKey => $heroValue) {
echo "\t".$heroKey."=>".$heroValue."\n";
}
}
You will have to adjust it to your output, but im showing the concept. The first foreach iterates all the heroes, and the second foreach iterates all the key/value pairs of each hero
EDIT: Hold on, its a bit unclear what you actually want. Is this what you want?
foreach($superheroes as $key => $hero) {
echo $key."\n";
echo "\t".$hero['email']."\n";
echo "\t".$hero['name']."\n";
}
How to convert this array:
$array = [
"order" => [
"items" => [
"6" => [
"ndc" => "This value should not be blank."
],
"7" => [
"ndc" => "This value should not be blank."
]
]
]
];
to
$array = [
"order[items][6][ndc]" => "This value should not be blank.",
"order[items][7][ndc]" => "This value should not be blank.",
];
First array may have unlimited number of nested levels. So nested foreach is not an option.
I spent a lot of time searching for the solution and got nothing. Can, please, someone help or guide me?
Something like this should do the job :
$newArr = [];
function reduce_multi_arr($array, &$newArr, $keys = '') {
if (!is_array($array)) {
$newArr[$keys] = $array;
} else {
foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
if ($keys === '') $nextKey = $key; // first key
else $nextKey = '[' . $key . ']'; // next [keys]
reduce_multi_arr($val, $newArr, $keys . $nextKey);
}
}
}
reduce_multi_arr($array, $newArr);
print_r($newArr);
Output :
Array
(
[order[items][6][ndc]] => 'This value should not be blank.'
[order[items][7][ndc]] => 'This value should not be blank.'
)

Is there a function to extract a 'column' from an array in PHP?

Closed last month.
I have an array which is multidimensional for no reason
/* This is how my array is currently */
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[plan] => basic
)
[1] => Array
(
[plan] => small
)
[2] => Array
(
[plan] => novice
)
[3] => Array
(
[plan] => professional
)
[4] => Array
(
[plan] => master
)
[5] => Array
(
[plan] => promo
)
[6] => Array
(
[plan] => newplan
)
)
)
I want to convert this array into this form
/*Now, I want to simply it down to this*/
Array (
[0] => basic
[1] => small
[2] => novice
[3] => professional
[4] => master
[5] => promo
[6] => newplan
)
Any idea how to do this?
This single line would do that:
$array = array_column($array, 'plan');
The first argument is an array | The second argument is an array key.
For details, go to official documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-column.php.
Assuming this array may or may not be redundantly nested and you're unsure of how deep it goes, this should flatten it for you:
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, array_flatten($value));
}
else {
$result[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
If you come across a multidimensional array that is pure data, like this one below, then you can use a single call to array_merge() to do the job via reflection:
$arrayMult = [ ['a','b'] , ['c', 'd'] ];
$arraySingle = call_user_func_array('array_merge', $arrayMult);
// $arraySingle is now = ['a','b', 'c', 'd'];
Just assign it to it's own first element:
$array = $array[0];
For this particular case, this'll do:
$array = array_map('current', $array[0]);
It's basically the exact same question is this one, look at some answers there: PHP array merge from unknown number of parameters.
$singleArray = array();
foreach ($multiDimensionalArray as $key => $value){
$singleArray[$key] = $value['plan'];
}
this is best way to create a array from multiDimensionalArray array.

Write this code and get your solution , $subcate is your multi dimensional array.
$singleArrayForCategory = array_reduce($subcate, 'array_merge', array());
none of answers helped me, in case when I had several levels of nested arrays. the solution is almost same as #AlienWebguy already did, but with tiny difference.
function nestedToSingle(array $array)
{
$singleDimArray = [];
foreach ($array as $item) {
if (is_array($item)) {
$singleDimArray = array_merge($singleDimArray, nestedToSingle($item));
} else {
$singleDimArray[] = $item;
}
}
return $singleDimArray;
}
test example
$array = [
'first',
'second',
[
'third',
'fourth',
],
'fifth',
[
'sixth',
[
'seventh',
'eighth',
[
'ninth',
[
[
'tenth'
]
]
],
'eleventh'
]
],
'twelfth'
];
$array = nestedToSingle($array);
print_r($array);
//output
array:12 [
0 => "first"
1 => "second"
2 => "third"
3 => "fourth"
4 => "fifth"
5 => "sixth"
6 => "seventh"
7 => "eighth"
8 => "ninth"
9 => "tenth"
10 => "eleventh"
11 => "twelfth"
]
You can do it just using a loop.
$singleArray = array();
foreach ($multiDimensionalArray as $key => $value){
$singleArray[$key] = $value['plan'];
}
Your sample array has 3 levels. Because the first level has only [0], you can hardcode your access into it and avoid an extra function/construct call.
(Code Demos)
array_walk_recursive() is handy and versatile, but for this task may be overkill and certainly a bit more convoluted in terms of readability.
array_walk_recursive($array, function($leafvalue)use(&$flat){$flat[] = $leafvalue;});
var_export($flat);
If this was my code, I'd be using array_column() because it is direct and speaks literally about the action being performed.
var_export(array_column($array[0], 'plan'));
Of course a couple of `foreach() loops will perform very efficiently because language constructs generally perform more efficiently than function calls.
foreach ($array[0] as $plans) {
foreach ($plans as $value) {
$flat[] = $value;
}
}
var_export($flat);
Finally, as a funky alternative (which I can't imagine actually putting to use unless I was writing code for someone whom I didn't care for) I'll offer an array_merge_recursive() call with a splat operator (...).
var_export(array_merge_recursive(...$array[0])['plan']);
Despite that array_column will work nice here, in case you need to flatten any array no matter of it's internal structure you can use this array library to achieve it without ease:
$flattened = Arr::flatten($array);
which will produce exactly the array you want.
This simple code you can use
$array = array_column($array, 'value', 'key');
Recently I've been using AlienWebguy's array_flatten function but it gave me a problem that was very hard to find the cause of.
array_merge causes problems, and this isn't the first time that I've made problems with it either. If you have the same array keys in one inner array that you do in another, then the later values will overwrite the previous ones in the merged array.
Here's a different version of array_flatten without using array_merge:
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$arrayList=array_flatten($value);
foreach ($arrayList as $listItem) {
$result[] = $listItem;
}
}
else {
$result[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
There is an error in most voted answer. Here is the correct version.
function array_flatten($array) {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, array_flatten($value));
}
else {
$result[] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
The difference is on the line $result[] = $value;
Original answer was $result[$key] = $value;
The $key index is incorrect after flattering any array in the cycle.
Following this pattern
$input = array(10, 20, array(30, 40), array('key1' => '50', 'key2'=>array(60), 70));
Call the function :
echo "<pre>";print_r(flatten_array($input, $output=null));
Function Declaration :
function flatten_array($input, $output=null) {
if($input == null) return null;
if($output == null) $output = array();
foreach($input as $value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
$output = flatten_array($value, $output);
} else {
array_push($output, $value);
}
}
return $output;
}
I've written a complement to the accepted answer. In case someone, like myself need a prefixed version of the keys, this can be helpful.
Array
(
[root] => Array
(
[url] => http://localhost/misc/markia
)
)

<?php
function flattenOptions($array, $old = '') {
if (!is_array($array)) {
return FALSE;
}
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$result = array_merge($result, flattenOptions($value, $key));
}
else {
$result[$old . '.' . $key] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
I had come across the same requirement to flatter multidimensional array into single dimensional array than search value using text in key. here is my code
$data = '{
"json_data": [{
"downtime": true,
"pfix": {
"max": 100,
"threshold": 880
},
"ints": {
"int": [{
"rle": "pri",
"device": "laptop",
"int": "Ether3",
"ip": "127.0.0.3"
}],
"eth": {
"lan": 57
}
}
},
{
"downtime": false,
"lsi": "987654",
"pfix": {
"min": 10000,
"threshold": 890
},
"mana": {
"mode": "NONE"
},
"ints": {
"int": [{
"rle": "sre",
"device": "desk",
"int": "Ten",
"ip": "1.1.1.1",
"UF": true
}],
"ethernet": {
"lan": 2
}
}
}
]
}
';
$data = json_decode($data,true);
$stack = &$data;
$separator = '.';
$toc = array();
while ($stack) {
list($key, $value) = each($stack);
unset($stack[$key]);
if (is_array($value)) {
$build = array($key => ''); # numbering without a title.
foreach ($value as $subKey => $node)
$build[$key . $separator . $subKey] = $node;
$stack = $build + $stack;
continue;
}
if(!is_numeric($key)){
$toc[$key] = $value;
}
}
echo '<pre/>';
print_r($toc);
My output:
Array

This is my contribuition
function arrayUnica($array, $prefix = "")
{
if (!is_array($array)) {
return false;
}
$new_array = [];
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$key = is_int($key) ? $prefix . $key . "-" : $key . "_";
$new_array = array_merge($new_array, arrayUnica($value, $key));
} else {
$new_array[$prefix . $key] = $value;
}
}
return $new_array;
}
Hope this will helpful for you,
$array= 'YOUR_MULTIDIMENSIONAL_ARRAY';
$arr=[];
array_walk_recursive($array, function($k){global $arr; $arr[]=$k;});
print_r($arr);
I have done this with OOP style
$res=[1=>[2,3,7,8,19],3=>[4,12],2=>[5,9],5=>6,7=>[10,13],10=>[11,18],8=>[14,20],12=>15,6=>[16,17]];
class MultiToSingle{
public $result=[];
public function __construct($array){
if(!is_array($array)){
echo "Give a array";
}
foreach($array as $key => $value){
if(is_array($value)){
for($i=0;$i<count($value);$i++){
$this->result[]=$value[$i];
}
}else{
$this->result[]=$value;
}
}
}
}
$obj= new MultiToSingle($res);
$array=$obj->result;
print_r($array);
Multi dimensional array to single array with one line code !!!
Enjoy the code.
$array=[1=>[2,5=>[4,2],[7,8=>[3,6]],5],4];
$arr=[];
array_walk_recursive($array, function($k){global $arr; $arr[]=$k;});
print_r($arr);
...Enjoy the code.
Try this it works for me:
$newArray = array();
foreach($operator_call_logs as $array) {
foreach($array as $k=>$v) {
$newArray[$k] = $v;
}
}
Save this as a php file, simply import and use single_array() function
<?php
$GLOBALS['single_array']=[];
function array_conveter($array_list){
if(is_array($array_list)){
foreach($array_list as $array_ele){
if(is_array($array_ele)){
array_conveter($array_ele);
}else{
array_push($GLOBALS['single_array'],$array_ele);
}
}
}else{
array_push($GLOBALS['single_array'],$array_list);
}
}
function single_array($mix){
foreach($mix as $single){
array_conveter($single);
}return $GLOBALS['single_array'];
$GLOBALS['single_array']=[];
}
/* Example convert your multi array to single */
$mix_array=[3,4,5,[4,6,6,7],'abc'];
print_r(single_array($mix_array));
?>
if use php version 7.4 and above
$users = [
[
'Ahmed',
'Mohammed',
],
[
'Saeed',
'Rami',
'Haider',
],
];
$admin = array_merge(...$users);
