That would flatten the array instead. My apologies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-21 10:29:57] datibbaw@php.net Why not just do this instead? iterator_to_array(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($it)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-09 12:14:49] franssen dot roland at gmail dot com Description: ------------ It would be nice to have a recursive_iterator_to_array function to transform a \RecursiveIterator to a full recursive array... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63049&edit=1
