I would like to take an array like this and combine it into 1 single array.
array (size=2)
0 =>
array (size=10)
0 => string '1'
1 => string 'a'
2 => string '3'
3 => string 'c'
1 =>
array (size=5)
0 => string '2'
1 => string 'b'
However I want the array results to be interleaved.
So it would end up looking like
array
0 => '1'
1 => '2'
2 => 'a'
3 => 'b'
4 => '3'
5 => 'c'
I would like it so that it doesn't matter how many initial keys are passed in (this one has 2), it should work with 1, 2 or 5. Also, as you can see from my example the amount of elements most likely won't match.
Anyone know the best way to accomplish this?
$data = array(
0 => array(
0 => '1',
1 => 'a',
2 => '3',
3 => 'c',
),
1 => array(
0 => '2',
1 => 'b',
),
);
$newArray = array();
$mi = new MultipleIterator(MultipleIterator::MIT_NEED_ANY);
$mi->attachIterator(new ArrayIterator($data[0]));
$mi->attachIterator(new ArrayIterator($data[1]));
foreach($mi as $details) {
$newArray = array_merge(
$newArray,
array_filter($details)
);
}
var_dump($newArray);
Tried to think of a fun solution:
$array = [
["a","b","c"],
["d","e"]
];
$result = [];
while($array) {
array_walk(
$array,
function(&$subarray, $key) use (&$array, &$result) {
$result[] = array_shift($subarray);
if(empty($subarray)) unset ($array[$key]);
}
);
}
var_dump($result);
It destroys the original array though.
I had fun with this... So if you like it use it!
$arr1 = [1,'a',3,'c'];
$arr2 = ['2','b'];
$finarry = arrayInterweave($arr1,$arr2);
print_r($finarry);
function arrayInterweave($arr1,$arr2){
$count1 = count($arr1);
$count2 = count($arr2);
$length = (($count1 >= $count2) ? $count1 : $count2);
$fin = array();
for($i = 0;$i<$length;$i++){
if(!empty($arr1[$i])){
$fin[] = $arr1[$i];
}
if(!empty($arr2[$i])){
$fin[] = $arr2[$i];
}
}
return $fin;
}
