My question is rather straight forward, yet I am very unsure on how to do it in an effective way.
Say we have an array like this:
array (
[0] => array(
[0] => "a"
)
[1] => array(
[0] => "b"
[1] => "c"
)
["a"] => array(
["b"] => "d"
)
)
It does not matter to me wether or not keys are preserved, what I ultimately want to end up with is this (with or without key preservation, doesnt matter too much):
Expected output:
array (
[0] => "a"
[1] => array(
[0] => "b"
[1] => "c"
)
["a"] => "d"
)
I hope you can help!

Here we are inserting the first value of an array. when count of $value is equal to 1.
<?php
$array=array (
0 => array(
0 => "a"
),
1 => array(
0 => "b",
1 => "c"
),
"a" => array(
"b" => "d"
)
);
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
if(is_array($value) && count($value)==1)
{
$array[$key]=current($value); //replace array with lone value
}
}
print_r($array);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => Array
(
[0] => b
[1] => c
)
[a] => d
)
$arr = array (
0 => array(
0 => "a"
),
1 => array(
0 => "b",
1 => "c"
),
"a" => array(
"b" => "d"
)
);
echo "<pre>"; print_r($arr);
foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
if(is_array($val) && count($val) == 1){
$arr[$key] = array_shift($val); //get first element of the array which have only one element
}
}
echo "<pre>"; print_r($arr);
<?php
$temp = array (
0 => array(
0 => "a"
),
1 => array(
0 => "b",
1 => "c"
),
"a" => array(
"b" => "d"
)
);
echo "<pre>"; print_r($temp);
$new_arr = array();
foreach ($temp as $key => $value) {
if(count($value)>1)
$new_arr[$key] = $value;
else
{
$new_arr[$key] = array_shift($value);
}
}
echo '<pre>'; print_r($new_arr);
