note 67028 added to function.array

<?php // changes any combination of multiarray elements and subarrays // into a consistent 2nd level multiarray, tries to preserves keys function changeMultiarrayStructure($multiarray, $asc = 1) { if ($asc == 1) { // use first subarrays for new keys of arrays $multiarraykeys = array_reverse($multiarray, true); } else { // use the last array keys $multiarraykeys = $multiarray; // use last subarray keys } // end array reordering $newarraykeys = array(); // establish array foreach ($multiarraykeys as $arrayvalue) { // build new array keys if (is_array($arrayvalue)) { // is subarray an array $newarraykeys = array_keys($arrayvalue) + $newarraykeys; } // if count(prevsubarray)>count(currentarray), extras survive } // end key building loop foreach ($multiarray as $newsubarraykey => $arrayvalue) { if (is_array($arrayvalue)) { // multiarray element is an array $i = 0; // start counter for subarray key foreach ($arrayvalue as $subarrayvalue) { // access subarray $newmultiarray[$newarraykeys[$i]][$newsubarraykey] = $subarrayvalue; $i++; // increase counter } // end subarray loop } else { // multiarray element is a value foreach ($newarraykeys as $newarraykey) { // new subarray keys $newmultiarray[$newarraykey][$newsubarraykey] = $arrayvalue; } // end loop for array variables } // end conditional } // end new multiarray building loop return $newmultiarray; } // will change $old = array('a'=>1,'b'=>array('e'=>2,'f'=>3),'c'=>array('g'=>4),'d'=>5); // to $new = array('e'=>array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>4,'d'=>5), 'f'=>array('a'=>1,'b'=>3,'d'=>5)); // note: if $asc parameter isn't default, last subarray keys used ?> The new key/value assignment pattern is clearer with bigger arrays. I use this to manipulate input/output data from my db.
