我只是想指出这是一个折叠，所以可以使用array_reduce

array_reduce($my_array, 'array_merge', array());

编辑:注意，这可以组成平任意数量的水平。我们可以通过以下几种方式做到这一点:

// Reduces one level
$concat   = function($x) { return array_reduce($x, 'array_merge', array()); };

// We can compose $concat with itself $n times, then apply it to $x
// This can overflow the stack for large $n
$compose  = function($f, $g) {
    return function($x) use ($f, $g) { return $f($g($x)); };
};
$identity = function($x) { return $x; };
$flattenA = function($n) use ($compose, $identity, $concat) {
    return  function($x) use ($compose, $identity, $concat, $n) {
        return ($n === 0)? $x
                         : call_user_func(array_reduce(array_fill(0, $n, $concat),
                                                       $compose,
                                                       $identity),
                                          $x);
    };
};

// We can iteratively apply $concat to $x, $n times
$uncurriedFlip     = function($f) {
    return  function($a, $b) use ($f) {
        return $f($b, $a);
    };
};
$iterate  = function($f) use ($uncurriedFlip) {
    return  function($n) use ($uncurriedFlip, $f) {
    return  function($x) use ($uncurriedFlip, $f, $n) {
        return ($n === 0)? $x
                         : array_reduce(array_fill(0, $n, $f),
                                        $uncurriedFlip('call_user_func'),
                                        $x);
    }; };
};
$flattenB = $iterate($concat);

// Example usage:
$apply    = function($f, $x) {
    return $f($x);
};
$curriedFlip = function($f) {
    return  function($a) use ($f) {
    return  function($b) use ($f, $a) {
        return $f($b, $a);
    }; };
};

var_dump(
    array_map(
        call_user_func($curriedFlip($apply),
                       array(array(array('A', 'B', 'C'),
                                   array('D')),
                             array(array(),
                                   array('E')))),
        array($flattenA(2), $flattenB(2))));

当然，我们也可以使用循环，但这个问题要求的是一个组合子函数，类似于array_map或array_values。

这个解是非递归的。注意，元素的顺序会有些混合。

function flatten($array) {
    $return = array();
    while(count($array)) {
        $value = array_shift($array);
        if(is_array($value))
            foreach($value as $sub)
                $array[] = $sub;
        else
            $return[] = $value;
    }
    return $return;
}

非递归，非基于引用的实现，这可能比基于递归的实现更容易理解。 可以管理任意深度多维数组，不能平化关联数组。 它的工作原理是每个周期将数组压平一层，直到它完全有效。

function array_flatten(): array{
    $result = func_get_args();
    // check all elements of $list are not arrays
    $_is_flat = function (array $list): bool {
        foreach ($list as $val) {
            if (is_array($val)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    };
    do {
        $tmp = [];
        foreach ($result as $val) {
            if (is_array($val)) {
                if (!array_is_list($val)) {
                    throw new \Exception(sprintf("array_flatten can't handle associative arrays: %s", json_encode($val)));
                }
                $tmp = array_merge($tmp, $val);
            } else {
                $tmp[] = $val;
            }
        }
        $result = $tmp;
    } while (!$_is_flat($result));
    return $result;
}

以下是它处理的情况:

assertEquals(array_flatten(1, 2), $expected = [1, 2], 'array_flatten 1a');
assertEquals(array_flatten([1], [2]), $expected = [1, 2], 'array_flatten 1b');
assertEquals(array_flatten([1], [[2], 3]), $expected = [1, 2, 3], 'array_flatten 1c');
assertEquals(array_flatten(1, [2, 3], [4, 5]), $expected = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 'array_flatten 2');
assertEquals(array_flatten(2, 3, [4, 5], [6, 7], 8), $expected = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'array_flatten 3');
assertEquals(array_flatten([2, 3, [4, 5], [6, 7], 8]), $expected = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'array_flatten 4');
assertEquals(array_flatten([2, [3, [4, [5]], [6, [7]], 8]]), $expected = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 'array_flatten complex');

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。

/**
 * 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;
}

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;
}
