试试下面这个简单的函数:

function _flatten_array($arr) {
  while ($arr) {
    list($key, $value) = each($arr); 
    is_array($value) ? $arr = $value : $out[$key] = $value;
    unset($arr[$key]);
  }
  return (array)$out;
}

所以从这里:

array (
  'und' => 
  array (
    'profiles' => 
    array (
      0 => 
      array (
        'commerce_customer_address' => 
        array (
          'und' => 
          array (
            0 => 
            array (
              'first_name' => 'First name',
              'last_name' => 'Last name',
              'thoroughfare' => 'Address 1',
              'premise' => 'Address 2',
              'locality' => 'Town/City',
              'administrative_area' => 'County',
              'postal_code' => 'Postcode',
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),
)

你会得到:

array (
  'first_name' => 'First name',
  'last_name' => 'Last name',
  'thoroughfare' => 'Address 1',
  'premise' => 'Address 2',
  'locality' => 'Town/City',
  'administrative_area' => 'County',
  'postal_code' => 'Postcode',
)

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;
}

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;
        }
    }
}

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');

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;
}

任何想要解决这个问题的人;这里有一个选择:

获取具有不同键值配置的数组的数组:

$test_array = array(
    array('test' => 0, 0, 0, 0),
    array(0, 0, 'merp' => array('herp' => 'derp'), 0),
    array(0, 0, 0, 0),
    array(0, 0, 0, 0)
);
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($test_array));
var_dump( iterator_to_array($it, false) ) ; 

这将只从每个数组中获取值，并返回单个平面数组。

result值的输出:

0 0 0 0 0 0 derp 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
