PHP recursion print all elements of a multidimensional array with keys

Question

I found the following code, which prints all the elements of an array fine. How can I modify it to print a key one time and then all the values corresponding to the key, the

Answer 1

What's wrong with print_r, var_dump or var_export?

That aside, read the documentation on foreach and you'll clearly see how to get the key you're iterating over.

Answer 2

function printAll($a) {
  foreach ($a as $k => $v) {
    echo $k, ' ';
  }

  printAllVals($a);
}

function printAllVals($a) {
  if (!is_array($a)) {
    echo $a, ' ';
      return;
   }

   foreach($a as $k => $v) {
     if ($k < 10) {
       printAllVals($v);
     }
   }
}

I am assuming you want something non-programming humans can make some sort of sense out of.

function pretty_dump($arr, $d=1){
    if ($d==1) echo "<pre>";    // HTML Only
    if (is_array($arr)){
        foreach($arr as $k=>$v){
            for ($i=0;$i<$d;$i++){
                echo "\t";
            }
            if (is_array($v)){
                echo $k.PHP_EOL;
                Pretty_Dump($v, $d+1);
            } else {
                echo $k."\t".$v.PHP_EOL;
            }
        }
    }
    if ($d==1) echo "</pre>";   // HTML Only
}

Usage:

$myarray=array(
    'mammals'=>array(
        'cats'=>array(
            'cheetah',
            'lion',
            'cougar'
        ),
        'dogs'=>array(
            'big'=>'Scooby',
            'small'=>'chihuahua',
            'medium'=>array(
                'pumi',
                'bulldog',
                'boxer'
            )
        ),
    ),
    'fish'=>'fish',
    'birds'=>array(
        'flying'=>array(
            'mallard',
            'condor',
            'gull'
        ),
        'nonflying'=>'emu'
    )
);

pretty_dump($myarray);

Output:

    mammals
        cats
            0   cheetah
            1   lion
            2   cougar
        dogs
            big Scooby
            small   chihuahua
            medium
                0   pumi
                1   bulldog
                2   boxer
    fish    fish
    birds
        flying
            0   mallard
            1   condor
            2   gull
        nonflying   emu

Answer 4

Try with:

foreach($a as $k => $v)

where $k is your key and $v is still value.

Answer 5

function printAll($a) {
    if (!is_array($a)) {
        echo $a, ' ';
        return;
    }

    foreach($a as $k => $value) {
         if($k<10){
             printAll($k);
             printAll($value);
        }
    }
}
