Here is a nice little function which will apply a callback function recursively over a
multidimensional array. If the callback function returns false, then it replaces the value of the
array with $filtered_ouput. This function gracefully handles objects inside of arrays (and objects
within objects within arrays, etc). It is specifically designed for your callback function to
process on the array key's (unlike normal array_filter which filters on the values), but it
could work on the array values depending on your test criteria (YMMV).
<?PHP
function array_key_filter_multi($array, $callback, $filtered_output = "")
{
$ret = array();
foreach($array as $key=>$value) {
if($callback($key,$value)) {
if(is_array($value)) {
$ret[$key] = array_key_filter_multi($value, $callback, $filtered_output);
}
elseif(is_object($value)) {
$ret[$key] = array_key_filter_multi(get_object_vars($value), $callback,
$filtered_output);
}
else {
$ret[$key]=$value;
}
}
else {
$ret[$key]=$filtered_output;
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>
We use this to filter redundant data from debugging output. An example usage is:
<?
$callback_func = create_function('$key, $value', 'return ($key == "db" ||
$key == "smarty") ? false : true;');
echo "<PRE>" . print_r(array_key_filter_multi($_SESSION, $callback_func,
"**filtered by function**"), true) . "</PRE>";
?>
Which filters all keys with "db" or "smarty" as their name (including objects
which have a reference to those variables). The output of the above in a test case I did is the
following:
Array
(
[userdata] => Array
(
[sid] => a130e675d380e0e9fe47897922d719ac
[not_in_db] =>
[user_id] => 1
[session_id] => 154
[permissions] => 1
[username] => tester
)
[systemobjects] => Array
(
[db] => **filtered by function**
[smarty] => **filtered by function**
)
)
