How to “flatten” a multi-dimensional array to simple one in PHP?

Question

It\'s probably beginner question but I\'m going through documentation for longer time already and I can\'t find any solution. I thought I could use implode for each dimensio

Answer 1

A non-recursive solution (but order-destroying):

function flatten($ar) {
    $toflat = array($ar);
    $res = array();

    while (($r = array_shift($toflat)) !== NULL) {
        foreach ($r as $v) {
            if (is_array($v)) {
                $toflat[] = $v;
            } else {
                $res[] = $v;
            }
        }
    }

    return $res;
}
