我需要用HTML输入格式表示PHP多维数组。

$test = [
    'a' => [
        'b' => [
            'c' => ['a', 'b']
        ]
    ],
    'b' => 'c',
    'c' => [
        'd' => 'e'
    ]
];

$flatten = function ($input, $parent = []) use (&$flatten) {
    $return = [];

    foreach ($input as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $return = array_merge($return, $flatten($v, array_merge($parent, [$k])));
        } else {
            if ($parent) {
                $key = implode('][', $parent) . '][' . $k . ']';

                if (substr_count($key, ']') != substr_count($key, '[')) {
                    $key = preg_replace('/\]/', '', $key, 1);
                }
            } else {
                $key = $k;
            }           

            $return[$key] = $v;
        }
    }

    return $return;
};

die(var_dump( $flatten($test) ));

array(4) {
  ["a[b][c][0]"]=>
  string(1) "a"
  ["a[b][c][1]"]=>
  string(1) "b"
  ["b"]=>
  string(1) "c"
  ["c[d]"]=>
  string(1) "e"
}

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。

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 

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;
}

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;
}

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);
