Tetris-ing an array

Question

Consider the following array:

/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib/abcdedd
/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/xyz
/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/abc/         


        

Answer 1

$values = array('/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib/abcdedd',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/xyz',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/abc/def',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/htdocs/xyz',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib2/abcdedd'
);


function splitArrayValues($r) {
    return explode('/',$r);
}

function stripCommon($values) {
    $testValues = array_map('splitArrayValues',$values);

    $i = 0;
    foreach($testValues[0] as $key => $value) {
        foreach($testValues as $arraySetValues) {
            if ($arraySetValues[$key] != $value) break 2;
        }
        $i++;
    }

    $returnArray = array();
    foreach($testValues as $value) {
        $returnArray[] = implode('/',array_slice($value,$i));
    }

    return $returnArray;
}


$newValues = stripCommon($values);

echo '
';
var_dump($newValues);
echo '
';

EDIT Variant of my original method using an array_walk to rebuild the array

$values = array('/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib/abcdedd',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/xyz',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/conf/abc/def',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/htdocs/xyz',
                '/www/htdocs/1/sites/lib2/abcdedd'
);


function splitArrayValues($r) {
    return explode('/',$r);
}

function rejoinArrayValues(&$r,$d,$i) {
    $r = implode('/',array_slice($r,$i));
}

function stripCommon($values) {
    $testValues = array_map('splitArrayValues',$values);

    $i = 0;
    foreach($testValues[0] as $key => $value) {
        foreach($testValues as $arraySetValues) {
            if ($arraySetValues[$key] != $value) break 2;
        }
        $i++;
    }

    array_walk($testValues, 'rejoinArrayValues', $i);

    return $testValues;
}


$newValues = stripCommon($values);

echo '
';
var_dump($newValues);
echo '
';
