Flatten Array
Ever needed to take a multi-dimensional array and flatten it to produce a single dimension array. This method using iterators is far less intensive than using recursion.
<?php
/**
*
* @flatten multi-dimensional array
*
* @param array $array
*
* @return array
*
*/
function flattenArray(array $array){
$ret_array = array();
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($array)) as $value)
{
$ret_array[] = $value;
}
return $ret_array;
}
?>
