How to get values in an array this way with PHP? - php

Question

From:
$arr = array(array('key1'=>'A',...),array('key1'=>'B',...));
to:
array('A','B',..);

Answer 1

$output = array();
foreach ($arr as $array_piece) {
$output = array_merge($output, $array_piece);
}
return array_values($output);
On the other hand, if you want the first value from each array, what you want is...
$output = array();
foreach ($arr as $array_piece) {
$output[] = array_unshift($array_piece);
}
But I'm thinking you want the first one.

Answer 2

Relatively simple conversion by looping:
$newArray = array()
foreach ($arr as $a) {
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
$newArray[] = $value;
}
}
Or, perhaps more elegantly:
function flatten($concatenation, $subArray) {
return array_merge($concatenation, array_values($subArray));
}
$newArray = array_reduce($arr, "flatten", array());
John's solution is also nice.

Answer 3

Something like this should work
<?
$arr = array(array('key1'=>'A','key2'=>'B'),array('key1'=>'C','key2'=>'D'));
$new_array = array();
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
$new_array = array_merge($new_array, array_values($value));
}
var_export($new_array);
?>
If you want all the values in each array inside your main array.

Answer 4

function collapse($input) {
$buf = array();
if(is_array($input)) {
foreach($input as $i) $buf = array_merge($buf, collapse($i));
}
else $buf[] = $input;
return $buf;
}
Above is a modified unsplat function, which could also be used:
function unsplat($input, $delim="\t") {
$buf = array();
if(is_array($input)) {
foreach($input as $i) $buf[] = unsplat($i, $delim);
}
else $buf[] = $input;
return implode($delim, $buf);
}
$newarray = explode("\0", unsplat($oldarray, "\0"));
