I am terrible with manipulating arrays...given this structure I want to remove the top level array and merge all subsets into one flat array:
Array ( [0]
If the values are always at the same level of depth you could indeed use array_merge:
$array = [ [ ['hey.com'], ['you.com'], ], [ ['this.com'], ['rocks.com'], ], ]; print_r(array_merge(... array_merge(... $array))); Getting: Array ( [0] => hey.com [1] => you.com [2] => this.com [3] => rocks.com )
