Note Submitter: warmo_at_o2_dot_pl ---- @Yassin Ezbakhe <yassin88 at gmail dot com> When we have to flatten multidimensional array of strings or numbers this method could be much faster. Inconvenience of this method is, that its speed depends on size of strings/numbers, which array contains - bigger strings, lower efficiency. Conclusion: Use this method for small amount of data in arrays (less than 500B per element in my case) which have many dimensions, in other case, use Yassin Ezbakhe method. <?php function md_implode($array, $glue = '') { if (is_array ($array)) { $output = ''; foreach ($array as $v) { $output .= md_implode($v, $glue); } return $output; } else { return $array.$glue; } } function md_array_flatten($md_array) { $flat_array = explode ('#|#',md_implode($md_array,'#|#')); // "#|#" is a sample delimiter array_pop($flat_array); // to remove last empty element return $flat_array; } //Usage: $flat_array = md_array_flatten($some_md_array) ?>
