如何内爆二维数组中的子数组？

Question

I want to implode values in to a comma-separated string if they are an array:

I have the following array:

$my_array = [
    "keywords" => "test",
    "locationId" => [ 0 => "1", 1 => "2"],
    "industries" => "1"
];

To achieve this I have the following code:

foreach ($my_array as &$value)
    is_array($value) ? $value = implode(",", $value) : $value;
unset($value);

The above will also change the original array. Is there a more elegant way to create a new array that does the same as the above?

I mean, implode values if they are an array in a single line of code? perhaps array_map() ? ...but then I would have to create another function.

Answer 1

Just append values to new array:

$my_array = [
   "keywords" => "test",
   "locationId" => [ 0 => "1", 1 => "2"],
   "industries" => "1",
];
$new_Array = [];
foreach ($my_array as $value) {
    $new_Array[] = is_array($value) ? implode(",", $value) : $value;
}
print_r($new_Array);

And something that can be called a "one-liner"

$new_Array = array_reduce($my_array, function($t, $v) { $t[] = is_array($v) ? implode(",", $v) : $v; return $t; }, []);

Now compare both solutions and tell which is more readable.

Answer 2

Just create a new array and set the elements (-;

<?php
...
$new_array = [];
foreach ($my_array as $key => $value)
     $new_array[$key] = is_array($value) ? implode(",", $value) : $value;

You don't need to write/iterate a conditional statement if you type the strings (non-arrays) as single-element arrays before imploding them.

With array_map() : ( Demo )

$my_array = [
    "keywords" => "test",
    "locationId" => [ 0 => "1", 1 => "2"],
    "industries" => "1"
];

var_export(
    array_map(
        function($v) {
            return implode(',', (array)$v);
        },
        $my_array
    )
);

Or from PHP7.4, array_map() with arrow function syntax: ( Demo )

var_export(
    array_map(fn($v) => implode(',', (array)$v), $my_array)
);

Or array_walk() and modification by reference ( Demo )

array_walk(
    $my_array,
    function(&$v) {
        $v = implode(',', (array)$v);
    }
);
var_export($my_array);

Or a foreach loop: ( Demo )

foreach ($my_array as &$v) {
    $v = implode(',', (array)$v);
}
var_export($my_array);

All snippets will output:

array (
  'keywords' => 'test',
  'locationId' => '1,2',
  'industries' => '1',
)
