PHP replace an element in a multidimensional array of unknown depth
Question
I have an array in PHP. The array could be X deep. Somewhere in the array is an object with key custom_image . I want to replace the object with my own data. See attached screenshot for example of structure. Note the custom_image is often times at a different place in the array.
I tried using array_walk_recursive() but it can't deal with keys that are arrays, so I tried rolling my own recursive array_walk() and recursive foreach() functions, but couldn't get it to work.
As far as I understand it, this should work:
array_walk($array, 'replace_custom_image');
function replace_custom_image(&$value, $key){
if( $key == 'custom_image' ){
$value = 'New image data'
} else {
// Make recursive so we can work with key's that contain an array!
if( is_array($value) ) array_walk ($value, 'replace_custom_image');
}
}
But it actually seems to replace a parent array to the one it's on, so clearly I'm confused to the way it's working.
Thanks for the help!

A simple recursive function should do:
/**
* @param $array [mix] The original array
* @param $skey [string] The key name you want to replace
* @param $replace [mix] The new value you want assign
*/
function recurse($array, $skey, $replace)
{
# I would convert objects to arrays, it's just easier to not have to
# deal with a mix (in my opinion)
if(is_object($array))
$array = (array) $array;
# Just send value back if not an array
if(!is_array($array))
return $array;
# Loop array, try to match. No match, recurse
foreach($array as $key => $value)
$array[$key] = ($skey === $key)? $replace : recurse($value, $skey, $replace);
# Return each array
return $array;
}
To use:
$original_array = recurse($original_array, 'custom_image', $repacement_value);
