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

I found a simple way to convert multilevel array into one. I use the function "http_build_query" which converts the array into a url string. Then, split the string with explode and decode the value.

Here is a sample.

$converted = http_build_query($data);
$rows = explode('&', $converted);
$output = array();
foreach($rows AS $k => $v){
   list($kk, $vv) = explode('=', $v);
   $output[ urldecode($kk) ] =  urldecode($vv);
}
return $output;
