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。

/**
 * Flattens a multi demensional array into a one dimensional
 * to be compatible with hidden html fields.
 *
 * @param array $array
 *  Array in the form:
 *  array(
 *    'a' => array(
 *      'b' => '1'
 *    )
 *  )
 *
 * @return array
 *  Array in the form:
 *  array(
 *    'a[b]' => 1,
 *  )
 */
function flatten_array($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;
}

如果你想保留中间键:

function flattenArray(array &$result, $value, string $key = "")
{
    if (!is_array($value)) {
        $result[$key] = $value;
        return $result;
    }
    foreach ($value as $subKey => $subArray) {
        $newKey = $key !== "" ? $key . "_" . $subKey : $subKey;
        flattenArray($result, $subArray, $newKey);
    }
    return $result;
}

$nestedArray = [
    "name" => "John",
    "pets" => [
        ["id" => 1, "name" => "snooop"],
        ["id" => 2, "name" => "medor"],
    ],
    "job" => ["title" => "developper"],
];

$intermediateResult = [];
$flattened = flattenArray($intermediateResult, $nestedArray);
var_dump($flattened);

这将输出:

array(6) {
["name"]=>
  string(4) "John"
        ["pets_0_id"]=>
  int(1)
  ["pets_0_name"]=>
  string(6) "snooop"
        ["pets_1_id"]=>
  int(2)
  ["pets_1_name"]=>
  string(5) "medor"
        ["job_title"]=>
  string(10) "developper"
}

使用递归生成器怎么样?https://ideone.com/d0TXCg

<?php

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

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

function iterate($array)
{
    foreach ($array as $item) {
        if (is_array($item)) {
            yield from iterate($item);
        } else {
            yield $item;
        }
    }
}

    , function ($lastItem, $currentItem) {

依据片段

您可以使用标准PHP库(SPL)来“隐藏”递归。

$a = array(1,2,array(3,4, array(5,6,7), 8), 9);
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($a));
foreach($it as $v) {
  echo $v, " ";
}

打印

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 

在PHP 5.6及以上版本中，你可以使用array_merge将二维数组平直，然后使用…操作符。代码简单明了。

array_merge(...$a);

这也适用于关联数组的集合。

$a = [[10, 20], [30, 40]];
$b = [["x" => "A", "y" => "B"], ["y" => "C", "z" => "D"]];

print_r(array_merge(...$a));
print_r(array_merge(...$b));

Array
(
    [0] => 10
    [1] => 20
    [2] => 30
    [3] => 40
)
Array
(
    [x] => A
    [y] => C
    [z] => D
)

在PHP 8.0及以下版本中，当外部数组具有非数字键时，数组解包将不起作用。PHP 8.1支持用字符串键解包数组。要支持8.0及以下版本，应该首先调用array_values。

$c = ["a" => ["x" => "A", "y" => "B"], "b" => ["y" => "C", "z" => "D"]];
print_r(array_merge(...array_values($c)));

Array
(
    [x] => A
    [y] => C
    [z] => D
)

更新:基于@ mohammedgharib的评论(适用于PHP 7.3。X和旧的ref)

如果外层数组为空，这将抛出一个错误，因为调用array_merge时参数为零。可以通过添加一个空数组作为第一个参数来避免这种情况。

array_merge([], ...$a);
