这个版本可以做深层、浅层或特定数量的层:

/**
 * @param  array|object $array  array of mixed values to flatten
 * @param  int|boolean  $level  0:deep, 1:shallow, 2:2 levels, 3...
 * @return array
 */
function flatten($array, $level = 0) {
    $level = (int) $level;
    $result = array();
    foreach ($array as $i => $v) {
        if (0 <= $level && is_array($v)) {
            $v = flatten($v, $level > 1 ? $level - 1 : 0 - $level);
            $result = array_merge($result, $v);
        } elseif (is_int($i)) {
            $result[] = $v;
        } else {
            $result[$i] = $v; 
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

如果你有一个对象数组，想用一个节点把它压平，只需要使用这个函数:

function objectArray_flatten($array,$childField) {
    $result = array();
    foreach ($array as $node)
    {
        $result[] = $node;
        if(isset($node->$childField))
        {
            $result = array_merge(
                $result, 
                objectArray_flatten($node->$childField,$childField)
            );
            unset($node->$childField);
        }

    }
    return $result;
}

你可以用茴香酒来做:

 $result = Arrays::flatten($multidimensional);

看到:

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"
}

诀窍是通过引用传递源数组和目标数组。

function flatten_array(&$arr, &$dst) {
    if(!isset($dst) || !is_array($dst)) {
        $dst = array();
    }
    if(!is_array($arr)) {
        $dst[] = $arr;
    } else {
        foreach($arr as &$subject) {
            flatten_array($subject, $dst);
        }
    }
}

$recursive = array('1', array('2','3',array('4',array('5','6')),'7',array(array(array('8'),'9'),'10')));
echo "Recursive: \r\n";
print_r($recursive);
$flat = null;
flatten_array($recursive, $flat);

echo "Flat: \r\n";
print_r($flat);

// If you change line 3 to $dst[] = &$arr; , you won't waste memory,
// since all you're doing is copying references, and imploding the array 
// into a string will be both memory efficient and fast:)

echo "String:\r\n";
echo implode(',',$flat);

从PHP 5.3开始，最短的解决方案似乎是array_walk_recursive()与新的闭包语法:

function flatten(array $array) {
    $return = array();
    array_walk_recursive($array, function($a) use (&$return) { $return[] = $a; });
    return $return;
}
