PHP keeping Names after breaking urls into a multidimensional array - php

Question

If you downvote my question, please be KIND enough to leave a reason
Hey guys I got a little snip that will take a structure of urls like so
// brevity
[182] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting
[name] => Troubleshooting
)
[183] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/my-voicemail-to-e-mail-feature-is-not-working
[name] => My Voicemail to E-mail feature is not working.
)
[184] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/when-i-receive-my-voicemail-by-e-mail-i-cannot-hear-the-message
[name] => When I receive my voicemail by e-mail, I cannot hear the message.
)
[185] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/i-don-t-hear-a-dial-tone-when-i-pick-up-my-phone
[name] => I don't hear a dial tone when I pick up my phone.
)
[186] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/i-moved-my-voice-adapter-and-can-no-longer-make-or-receive-calls
[name] => I moved my Voice adapter and can no longer make or receive calls.
)
[187] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/my-call-waiting-is-not-working-since-i-forwarded-voice-to-another-line
[name] => My call waiting is not working since I forwarded Voice to another line.
)
[188] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/i-m-unable-to-complete-transactions-on-ivr-phone-calls-like-online-banking
[name] => I'm unable to complete transactions on IVR phone calls (like online banking).
)
[189] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/i-can-t-get-a-dial-tone-and-i-could-before
[name] => I can't get a dial tone (and I could before).
)
[190] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/im-not-getting-my-voicemail-to-e-mail-messages
[name] => I'm not getting my Voicemail to E-mail messages.
)
[191] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/my-caller-id-has-not-worked-since-i-forwarded-my-voice-line-to-another-phone-line
[name] => My Caller ID has not worked since I forwarded my Voice line to another phone line.
)
[192] => Array
(
[path] => /home-phone/troubleshooting/im-having-trouble-sending-andor-receiving-a-fax
[name] => I'm having trouble sending and/or receiving a FAX.
)
// brevity
And turn them into a multidim array, like this
[4] => home-phone
[home-phone] => Array
(
// brevity
[9] => troubleshooting
[troubleshooting] => Array
(
[0] => my-voicemail-to-e-mail-feature-is-not-working
[1] => when-i-receive-my-voicemail-by-e-mail-i-cannot-hear-the-message
[2] => i-don-t-hear-a-dial-tone-when-i-pick-up-my-phone
[3] => i-moved-my-voice-adapter-and-can-no-longer-make-or-receive-calls
[4] => my-call-waiting-is-not-working-since-i-forwarded-voice-to-another-line
[5] => i-m-unable-to-complete-transactions-on-ivr-phone-calls-like-online-banking
[6] => i-can-t-get-a-dial-tone-and-i-could-before
[7] => im-not-getting-my-voicemail-to-e-mail-messages
[8] => my-caller-id-has-not-worked-since-i-forwarded-my-voice-line-to-another-phone-line
[9] => im-having-trouble-sending-andor-receiving-a-fax
)
// brevity
)
Works pretty good, but I got to the end and realized I'd lost all my Names
(your can see theirs a second column for names), I left a spacer for a Name,
but for the life of me can't figure out how to get it in there now =(
Any ideas?
EDIT forgot my source code ;)
$tree = array();
foreach($indexArray as $branch) {
$limb = explode('/', $branch['path']);
$subTree = array(array_pop($limb));
foreach (array_reverse($limb) as $dir) {
$subTree = array($dir => $subTree);
}
$tree = array_merge_recursive($tree, $subTree);
}
Expected output should be
[Home Phone] => home-phone
[home-phone] => Array
(
// brevity
[Troubleshooting] => troubleshooting
[troubleshooting] => Array
(
[My Voicemail to E-mail feature is not working.] => my-voicemail-to-e-mail-feature-is-not-working
[When I receive my voicemail by e-mail, I cannot hear the message.] => when-i-receive-my-voicemail-by-e-mail-i-cannot-hear-the-message
[I don't hear a dial tone when I pick up my phone.] => i-don-t-hear-a-dial-tone-when-i-pick-up-my-phone
// etc
)

Since you did not put expected output am working on assumption .. you can try :
$data = array();
$i = 0 ;
foreach ( $array as $key => $value ) {
$temp = array();
setPath($temp,dirname($value['path']) . "/$i/path", basename($value['path']));
setPath($temp, dirname($value['path']) . "/$i/name", $value['name']);
$data = array_merge_recursive($data, $temp);
$i ++;
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
Output
