依据片段

如果你真的不喜欢递归……试着换一下位置吧。

$a = array(1,2,array(3,4, array(5,6,7), 8), 9);
$o = [];
for ($i=0; $i<count($a); $i++) {
    if (is_array($a[$i])) {
        array_splice($a, $i+1, 0, $a[$i]);
    } else {
        $o[] = $a[$i];
    }
}

注意:在这个简单版本中，不支持数组键。

使用递归。希望在看到它有多简单的时候，你对递归的恐惧会在你看到它有多简单的时候消失。

function flatten($array) {
    if (!is_array($array)) {
        // nothing to do if it's not an array
        return array($array);
    }

    $result = array();
    foreach ($array as $value) {
        // explode the sub-array, and add the parts
        $result = array_merge($result, flatten($value));
    }

    return $result;
}


$arr = array('foo', array('nobody', 'expects', array('another', 'level'), 'the', 'Spanish', 'Inquisition'), 'bar');
echo '<ul>';
foreach (flatten($arr) as $value) {
    echo '<li>', $value, '</li>';
}
echo '<ul>';

输出:

<ul><li>foo</li><li>nobody</li><li>expects</li><li>another</li><li>level</li><li>the</li><li>Spanish</li><li>Inquisition</li><li>bar</li><ul>

因为这里的代码看起来很可怕。下面是一个将多维数组转换为html格式兼容语法的函数，但它更容易阅读。

/**

 *  array(
 *    'a[b]' => 1,

function flatten_array($array) {
  // Continue until $array is a one-dimensional array.
  $continue = TRUE;
  while ($continue) {
    $continue = FALSE;

    // Walk through top and second level of $array and move 
    // all values in the second level up one level.
    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
      if (is_array($value)) {
        // Second level found, therefore continue.
        $continue = TRUE;

        // Move each value a level up.
        foreach ($value as $child_key => $child_value) {
          $array[$key . '[' . $child_key . ']'] = $child_value;
        }

        // Remove second level array from top level.
        unset($array[$key]);
      }
    }
  }

  return $array;
}

简单明了的回答。

function flatten_array(array $array)
{
    return iterator_to_array(
         new \RecursiveIteratorIterator(new \RecursiveArrayIterator($array)));
}

用法:

$array = [
    'name' => 'Allen Linatoc',
    'profile' => [
        'age' => 21,
        'favourite_games' => [ 'Call of Duty', 'Titanfall', 'Far Cry' ]
    ]
];

print_r( flatten_array($array) );

输出(在PsySH):

Array
(
    [name] => Allen Linatoc
    [age] => 21
    [0] => Call of Duty
    [1] => Titanfall
    [2] => Far Cry
)

现在就看你怎么处理钥匙了。干杯

引用Nigel Alderton的担忧/问题:

澄清一下，这保留了键(甚至是数字键)，因此具有相同键的值将丢失。例如数组美元= [a, [' b ', ' c ']]成为数组([0]= > b, c[1] = >)。“a”丢失了，因为“b”也有一个键值为0

引用Svish的回答:

只需将false作为第二个参数($use_keys)添加到iterator_to_array调用中

使用递归生成器怎么样?https://ideone.com/d0TXCg

<?php

    'name' => 'Allen Linatoc',

    ]
];

foreach (iterate($array) as $item) {
    var_dump($item);
