I was miffed that array_map didn't have a way to pass values *and* keys to the callback, but then I realized I could do this:
function callback($k, $v) { ... }
array_map( "callback", array_keys($array), $array);
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7)
array_map — Applies the callback to the elements of the given arrays
array_map() returns an array containing all
the elements of array1 after applying the
callback function to each one.
The number of parameters that the callback
function accepts
should match the number of arrays
passed to the array_map()
callbackCallback function to run for each element in each array.
array1
An array to run through the callback function.
...
Variable list of array arguments to run through the
callback function.
Returns an array containing all the elements of array1
after applying the callback function to each one.
Example #1 array_map() example
<?php
function cube($n)
{
return($n * $n * $n);
}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array_map("cube", $a);
print_r($b);
?>
This makes $b have:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 8
[2] => 27
[3] => 64
[4] => 125
)
Example #2 array_map() using a lambda function (as of PHP 5.3.0)
<?php
$func = function($value) {
return $value * 2;
};
print_r(array_map($func, range(1, 5)));
?>
Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 10
)
Example #3 array_map() - using more arrays
<?php
function show_Spanish($n, $m)
{
return("The number $n is called $m in Spanish");
}
function map_Spanish($n, $m)
{
return(array($n => $m));
}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array("uno", "dos", "tres", "cuatro", "cinco");
$c = array_map("show_Spanish", $a, $b);
print_r($c);
$d = array_map("map_Spanish", $a , $b);
print_r($d);
?>
The above example will output:
// printout of $c
Array
(
[0] => The number 1 is called uno in Spanish
[1] => The number 2 is called dos in Spanish
[2] => The number 3 is called tres in Spanish
[3] => The number 4 is called cuatro in Spanish
[4] => The number 5 is called cinco in Spanish
)
// printout of $d
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[1] => uno
)
[1] => Array
(
[2] => dos
)
[2] => Array
(
[3] => tres
)
[3] => Array
(
[4] => cuatro
)
[4] => Array
(
[5] => cinco
)
)
Usually when using two or more arrays, they should be of equal length because the callback function is applied in parallel to the corresponding elements. If the arrays are of unequal length, shorter ones will be extended with empty elements to match the length of the longest.
An interesting use of this function is to construct an array of arrays,
which can be easily performed by using NULL
as the name of the callback function
Example #4 Creating an array of arrays
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array("one", "two", "three", "four", "five");
$c = array("uno", "dos", "tres", "cuatro", "cinco");
$d = array_map(null, $a, $b, $c);
print_r($d);
?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => one
[2] => uno
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => two
[2] => dos
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => three
[2] => tres
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 4
[1] => four
[2] => cuatro
)
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 5
[1] => five
[2] => cinco
)
)
If the array argument contains string keys then the returned array will contain string keys if and only if exactly one array is passed. If more than one argument is passed then the returned array always has integer keys.
Example #5 array_map() - with string keys
<?php
$arr = array("stringkey" => "value");
function cb1($a) {
return array ($a);
}
function cb2($a, $b) {
return array ($a, $b);
}
var_dump(array_map("cb1", $arr));
var_dump(array_map("cb2", $arr, $arr));
var_dump(array_map(null, $arr));
var_dump(array_map(null, $arr, $arr));
?>
The above example will output:
array(1) {
["stringkey"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(5) "value"
}
}
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "value"
[1]=>
string(5) "value"
}
}
array(1) {
["stringkey"]=>
string(5) "value"
}
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "value"
[1]=>
string(5) "value"
}
}
I was miffed that array_map didn't have a way to pass values *and* keys to the callback, but then I realized I could do this:
function callback($k, $v) { ... }
array_map( "callback", array_keys($array), $array);
Let's assume we have following situation:
<?php
class MyFilterClass {
public function filter(array $arr) {
return array_map(function($value) {
return $this->privateFilterMethod($value);
});
}
private function privateFilterMethod($value) {
if (is_numeric($value)) $value++;
else $value .= '.';
}
}
?>
This will work, because $this inside anonymous function (unlike for example javascript) is the instance of MyFilterClass inside which we called it.
I hope this would be useful for anyone.
PHP 5.3 enables us to use inline anonymous functions with array_map, cleaning up the syntax slightly.
<?php
$data = array(
array('id' => 1, 'name' => 'Bob', 'position' => 'Clerk'),
array('id' => 2, 'name' => 'Alan', 'position' => 'Manager'),
array('id' => 3, 'name' => 'James', 'position' => 'Director')
);
$names = array_map(
function($person) { return $person['name']; },
$data
);
print_r($names);
?>
This was possible (although not recommended) in prior versions of PHP 5, via create_function().
<?php
$names = array_map(
create_function('$person', 'return $person["name"];'),
$data
);
?>
You're less likely to catch errors in the latter version because the code is passed as string arguments.
These are alternatives to using a foreach:
<?php
$names = array();
foreach ($data as $row) {
$names[] = $row['name'];
}
?>
If you need to call a static method from array_map, this will NOT work:
<?PHP
array_map('myclass::myMethod' , $value);
?>
Instead, you need to do this:
<?PHP
array_map( array('myclass','myMethod') , $value);
?>
It is helpful to remember that this will work with any PHP function which expects a callback argument.
You can use array_map with PHP native functions as well as user functions. This is very handy if you need to sanitize arrays.
<?php
$integers = array_map ('intval', $integers);
$safeStrings = array_map ('mysql_real_escape_string', $unsafeStrings);
?>
You may be looking for a method to extract values of a multidimensional array on a conditional basis (i.e. a mixture between array_map and array_filter) other than a for/foreach loop. If so, you can take advantage of the fact that 1) the callback method on array_map returns null if no explicit return value is specified (as with everything else) and 2) array_filter with no arguments removes falsy values.
So for example, provided you have:
<?php
$data = [
[
"name" => "John",
"smoker" => false
],
[
"name" => "Mary",
"smoker" => true
],
[
"name" => "Peter",
"smoker" => false
],
[
"name" => "Tony",
"smoker" => true
]
];
?>
You can extract the names of all the non-smokers with the following one-liner:
<?php
$names = array_filter(array_map(function($n) { if(!$n['smoker']) return $n['name']; }, $data));
?>
It's not necessarily better than a for/foreach loop, but the occasional one-liner for trivial tasks can help keep your code cleaner.
Note that the $arr argument has to be an array, not just a Traversable/Iterator.
For instance this won't work:
<?php
$documents = $mongo->db->collection->find();
// $documents is Traversable by foreach
$ids = array_map(function($document) {
return $document['_id'];
}, $objects);
// $ids will now be NULL, because $documents wasn't an Array
?>
A solution is to first use iterator_to_array():
<?php
$ids = array_map(function($document) {
return $document['_id'];
}, iterator_to_array($objects));
// $ids will now be an array of ['_id']s
?>
But this is not very efficient: two cycles instead of one. Another solution is to use foreach: one cycle and a lot of freedom (and in the same scope).
Find an interesting thing that in array_map's callable function, late static binding does not work:
<?php
class A {
public static function foo($name) {
return 'In A: '.$name;
}
public static function test($names) {
return array_map(function($n) {return static::foo($n);}, $names);
}
}
class B extends A{
public static function foo($name) {
return 'In B: '.$name;
}
}
$result = B::test(['alice', 'bob']);
var_dump($result);
?>
the result is:
array (size=2)
0 => string 'In A: alice' (length=11)
1 => string 'In A: bob' (length=9)
if I change A::test to
<?php
public static function test($names) {
return array_map([get_called_class(), 'foo'], $names);
}
?>
Then the result is as expected:
array (size=2)
0 => string 'In B: alice' (length=11)
1 => string 'In B: bob' (length=9)
Here is how to perform an operation on some of the elements of an array:
<?php
$an_array = array(
'item1' => 0,
'item2' => 0,
'item3' => 0,
'item4' => 0,
'item5' => 0,
);
$items_to_modify = array('item1', "item3");
array_map(function ($value) use (&$an_array ) {
$an_array [$value] = (boolean)$an_array [$value]; //example operation:
}, $items_to_modify);
?>
This will take the original array and perform an action only on items specified on the second array items. Use of & symbol in the use statement makes the array_map access the variable as a reference in an outer scope.
This makes code easily extendable.
In case of you need to recursively bypass a function over the itens of an array, you can use it
<?php
function array_map_recursive($callback, $array) {
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($array[$key])) {
$array[$key] = array_map_recursive($callback, $array[$key]);
}
else {
$array[$key] = call_user_func($callback, $array[$key]);
}
}
return $array;
}
?>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
$strings = array(
'The',
array(
'quick',
'fox',
array(
'brown',
'jumps',
array(
'over',
array(
'the',
array(
'lazy',
array(
'dog'
)
)
)
)
)
)
);
print_r($strings);
$hashedString = array_map_recursive('md5', $strings);
print_r($hashedString);
?>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testing it, you'll obtain
<?php
/* Original array */
array (
0 => 'The',
1 =>
array (
0 => 'quick',
1 => 'fox',
2 =>

Hope it helps you.

The most memory-efficient array_map_recursive().
<?php
function array_map_recursive(callable $func, array $arr) {
array_walk_recursive($arr, function(&$v) use ($func) {
$v = $func($v);
});
return $arr;
}
?>
this function is really nice for recursion in php!!!
example in a class:
<?php
class test{
//private $container = array();
final public function add($key, $value){
/* recursion */
if(is_array($value)){
array_map(array($this, __FUNCTION__), array_keys($value), array_values($value));
}
/* procedural */
else{
echo $key.' => '.$value.'<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
// do stuff...
// if(!isset($this->container[$key])){
// $this->container[$key] = $value;
// }
//else{ // trigger_error() xor throw new Exception?
// echo 'allready exists!<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
//}
}
}
}
//
$array = array (
'one' => 'value1',
'two' => 'value2',
'three' => 'value3'
);
$t = new test;
$t->add($array);
?>
you could easiely do this without a class too offcourse!

To transpose rectangular two-dimension array, use the following code:
array_unshift($array, null);
$array = call_user_func_array("array_map", $array);
If you need to rotate rectangular two-dimension array on 90 degree, add the following line before or after (depending on the rotation direction you need) the code above:
$array = array_reverse($array);
Here is example:
<?php
$a = array(
array(1, 2, 3),
array(4, 5, 6));
array_unshift($a, null);
$a = call_user_func_array("array_map", $a);
print_r($a);
?>
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 4
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 5
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 6
)
)
You can easily remove all HTML tags from $_GET or $_POST variables using something like this:
<?php
$_POST = array_map('strip_tags', $_POST);
$_GET = array_map('strip_tags', $_GET);
?>
This is useful when you don't want to parse HTML.
This function behaves exactly like array_map but additionally does not reject non-array arguments. Instead, it transforms them with the array_fill function to a constant valued array of required length according to the other array arguments (if any) and executes the original array_map function.
<?php
function array_map2() {
$args = func_get_args();
$callback = array_shift($args);
$args = array_map(
create_function('$a,$max','return is_array($a)? $a: array_fill(0,$max,$a);'),
$args,array_fill(0,count($args),array_reduce($args,
create_function('$v,$w','return max($v,is_array($w)? count($w): 1);'))));
array_unshift($args,$callback);
return call_user_func_array("array_map",$args);
}
?>
Example:
<?php
$get = "first=value1&second=value2&third=value3";
print_r(array_map2("explode","=",explode("&",$get)));
?>
would print out:
<?php
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => first
[1] => value1
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => second
[1] => value2
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => third
[1] => value3
)
)
?>

Simple yet effective associative version of map that accepts arbitrary number of arrays.
Instead of elements, result from each() get passed as function arguments.
<?php
function array_map_assoc(){
if(func_num_args() < 2) throw new \BadFuncionCallException('Missing parameters');
$args = func_get_args();
$callback = $args[0];
if(!is_callable($callback)) throw new \InvalidArgumentException('First parameter musst be callable');
$arrays = array_slice($args, 1);
array_walk($arrays, function(&$a){
$a = (array)$a;
reset($a);
});
$results = array();
$max_length = max(array_map('count', $arrays));
$arrays = array_map(function($pole) use ($max_length){
return array_pad($pole, $max_length, null);
}, $arrays);
for($i=0; $i < $max_length; $i++){
$elements = array();
foreach($arrays as &$v){
$elements[] = each($v);
}
unset($v);
$out = call_user_func_array($callback, $elements);
if($out === null) continue;
$val = isset($out[1]) ? $out[1] : null;
if(isset($out[0])){
$results[$out[0]] = $val;
}else{
$results[] = $val;

An alternative for recursive mapping;
<?php
function array_map_recursive($fn, $arr) {
$rarr = array();
foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
$rarr[$k] = is_array($v)
? array_map_recursive($fn, $v)
: $fn($v); // or call_user_func($fn, $v)
}
return $rarr;
}
function sqr($x) {
return "$x ^ 2 = ". ($x * $x);
}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, array(4, array(5)));
$b = array_map_recursive("sqr", $a);
print_r($b);

Adding method support to function by Andref (multidimensionalArrayMap).
function array_map_r( $func, $arr )
{
$newArr = array();
foreach( $arr as $key => $value )
{
$newArr[ $key ] = ( is_array( $value ) ? array_map_r( $func, $value ) : ( is_array($func) ? call_user_func_array($func, $value) : $func( $value ) ) );
}
return $newArr;
}
array_map_r('function', array());
or
array_map_r(array('class', 'method'), array());
If you want to pass an argument like ENT_QUOTES to htmlentities, you can do the follow.
<?php
$array = array_map( 'htmlentities' , $array, array_fill(0 , count($array) , ENT_QUOTES) );
?>
The third argument creates an equal sized array of $array filled with the parameter you want to give with your callback function.
Another way to array_map htmlentities with a specific quote style is to create a function that does it and map that function
<?php
function map_entities( $str ) {
return htmlentities( $str, ENT_QUOTES );
}
$good_array = array_map ( 'map_entities', $bad_array );
?>
The following function does exaclty the same thing of array_map. However, maintains the same index of the input arrays
<?php
function array_map_keys($param1,$param2,$param3=NULL)
{
$res = array();
if ($param3 !== NULL)
{
foreach(array(2,3) as $p_name)
{
if (!is_array(${'param'.$p_name}))
{
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Argument #'.$p_name.' should be an array',E_USER_WARNING);
return;
}
}
foreach($param2 as $key => $val)
{
$res[$key] = call_user_func($param1,$param2[$key],$param3[$key]);
}
}
else
{
if (!is_array($param2))
{
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Argument #2 should be an array',E_USER_WARNING);
return;
}
foreach($param2 as $key => $val)
{
$res[$key] = call_user_func($param1,$param2[$key]);
}
}
return $res;
}
?>
For instance:
<?php
$arr1 = array(
'3' => 'a',
'4' => 'b',
'5' => 'c'
);
$arr2 = array(
'3' => 'd',
'4' => 'e',
'5' => 'f'
);
$arr3 = array_map_keys(create_function('$a,$b','return $a.$b;'),$arr1,$arr2);
print_r($arr3);
?>
The result will be:
Array
(
[3] => ad
[4] => be
[5] => cf
)
Why not an array of callbacks?
<?php
function array_maps($callbacks, $array) {
if (!$callbacks) { return $array; }
if (!is_array($callbacks) && is_string($callbacks) && function_exists($callbacks)) {
return array_map($callbacks, $array);
}
foreach($callbacks as $callback) {
if (function_exists($callback)) {
$array = array_map($callback, $array);
}
}
return $array;
}
?>
A note when doing something allong the lines of:
<?php
class foo {
var $var;
function bar() {
array_map(array($this, "baz"), array(1,2,3));
}
function baz($arg) {
$this->var = $this->var + $arg;
}
}
?>
This will *not* work as expected. You need to pass $this by reference as with:
array_map(array(&$this, "baz"), array(1,2,3));
or you'll be making a copy of the object each time, changing a value, then throwing the result away.
Simplest array_map_recursive() implemention.
<?php
function array_map_recursive(callable $func, array $array) {
return filter_var($array, \FILTER_CALLBACK, ['options' => $func]);
}
?>
If you're looking for a way to get a specific set of key values (ala "pluck") you can just use array_column([['id' => 1]], 'id').
array_map becomes interesting and faster than foreach when used with existing PHP functions.
Example:
$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$arr2 = array(4, 3, 2, 1);
// array with min values for each key
print_r(array_map("min", $arr1, $arr2));
Result: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 [3] => 1 )
// array with max values for each key
print_r(array_map("max", $arr1, $arr2));
Result: Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => 3 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 )
Array

Maybe usefull: replace a string in all array-elements
<?php
$hayStack = ["Book :id","Car :id","Cat :id"];
$replaced = array_map(function($element) use ($replace){
return str_replace(":id",$replace,$element);
},$hayStack);
print_r($replaced);
?>
A function to map an array working also with its key.
<?php
function array_mapk($callback, $array) {
$newArray = array();
foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
$newArray[$k] = call_user_func($callback, $k, $v);
}
return $newArray;
}
?>
Usage:
<?php
$dados = array();
$dados['cep'] = "32340-070";
$dados['initial'] = 100;
$dados['final'] = 300;
$dados['processed'] = 1;
echo "update table set " . implode(", ", array_mapk(function ($k, $v) { return "{$k} = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($v) . "'"; }, $dados));
?>

Here is an example for php 5.4 and greater, using a closure:
<?php
$myList = [1,2,3,4];
$mappedList = array_map(function($value){
return $value * 2;
}, $myList);
var_dump($mappedList);
array(4) {
[0]=>int(2)
[1]=>int(4)
[2]=>int(6)
[3]=>int(8)
}
?>
This is useful when you don't want/need to define a function just so it can be used with the map function.
I wanted a nice way to convert an array with x values as keys and y values as values e.g. array(x => y,...) into x,y co-ordinates e.g. array(array(x,y), ...).
You can do:
<?php
foreach ($waveform as $key => $waveformPoint) {
$coordinates[] = array($key, $waveformPoint);
}
?>
But array_map with a null callback gives you a nicer way:
<?php
$coordinates = array_map(null, array_keys($waveform), array_values($waveform));
?>
Why not use
mb_convert_case($str, MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8");
Works for me! :)
I realize this function is easy enough to make, but this is a faster version (twice the speed) of [a function] which I find incredibly useful.
<?php
function array_pluck($key, $input) {
if (is_array($key) || !is_array($input)) return array();
$array = array();
foreach($input as $v) {
if(array_key_exists($key, $v)) $array[]=$v[$key];
}
return $array;
}
?>
Usage:
<?php $ids = array_pluck('id', $users); ?>
I came up with a convenient syntax for method application, particularly useful inside the array_map.
For instance, if you want to
array_map(function($object, $arg1) { return $object->method($arg1, "arg2"); }, $objects, $args1);
it is possible to provide a shorthand:
global $_; // necessary inside a function, unfortunately
array_map($_->method($_, "arg2"), $objects, $args1);
Here's the implementation (works with 5.3)
function m_caller($method) {
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
return function($object) use($method, $args) {
global $_;
$local_args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
if(!is_object($object)) {
// error
}
$reflection = new ReflectionMethod(get_class($object), $method);
foreach($args as $key => $arg) {
if($arg === $_) {
$args[$key] = array_shift($local_args);
}
}
return $reflection->invokeArgs($object, array_merge($args, $local_args));
};
}
class MethodCaller {
public function __call($name, $arguments) { return call_user_func_array('m_caller', array_merge(array($name), $arguments)); }
public function __get($name) { return m_caller($name); }
};
$_ = new MethodCaller();
Hope I'm not late to the party, here's my function to apply array_map to the *keys* of an array.
Extra array arguments will be used for the callback function's parameters just like with array_map, with the difference that a string is also allowed: it will just be used to create an array of appropriate length with as each value that string. Arrays are left alone (and will be padded with nulls by array_map as needed).
<?php
//_________________________________________________
// array_map_keys($callback, $array, [$args, ..]) /
function array_map_keys($callback, $array /* [, $args ..] */) {
$args = func_get_args();
if (! is_callable($callback)) trigger_error("first argument (callback) is not a valid function", E_USER_ERROR);
if (! is_array($array)) trigger_error("second argument must be an array", E_USER_ERROR);
$args[1] = array_keys($array);
// If any additional arguments are not arrays, assume that value is wanted for every $array item.
// array_map() will pad shorter arrays with Null values
for ($i=2; $i < count($args); $i++) {
if (! is_array($args[$i])) {
$args[$i] = array_fill(0, count($array), $args[$i]);
}
}
return array_combine(call_user_func_array('array_map', $args), $array);
}
// Some examples:
$arr = array('foo'=>123, 'bar'=>456);
// simply uppercase keys:
var_dump(array_map_keys('strtoupper', $arr));
// or..
var_dump(array_map_keys(function($input) {return strtoupper($input);}, $arr));
// >> array(2) { ["FOO"]=>int(123) , ["BAR"]=> int(456) }
// Add a prefix 'myvar_':
var_dump(array_map_keys(function($input, $prefix) {return $prefix.$input;}, $arr, 'myvar_'));
// >> array(2) { ["myvar_foo"]=>int(123) , ["myvar_bar"]=>int(456) }
// Apart from the (static string) prefix, we also number them:
$arr = array('foo'=>123, 'bar'=>456, 'bazz'=>789, 'yadda'=>'0AB');
var_dump(array_map_keys(function($input, $middle, $number) {return $number.':'.$middle.$input;}, $arr, 'myvar_', range(1, count($arr))));
// >> array(4) { ["1:myvar_foo"]=>int(123) , ["2:myvar_bar"]=>int(456) , ["3:myvar_bazz"]=>int(789) , ["4:myvar_yadda"]=>string(3) "0AB" }
?>
array_map becomes interesting and faster than foreach when used with existing PHP functions.
Example:
$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$arr2 = array(4, 3, 2, 1);
// array with min values for each key
print_r(array_map("min", $arr1, $arr2));
Result: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 [3] => 1 )
// array with max values for each key
print_r(array_map("max", $arr1, $arr2));
Result: Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => 3 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 )
Fixed a bug with array recursion.
<?php
/**

*
* @access public
* @param callback $callback Callback function to run for each element in each array.
* @param mixed $arr1 An array to run through the callback function.
* @param array $array Variable list of array arugments to run through the callback function.
* @return array Array containing all the elements of $arr1 after applying the callback function to each one, recursively, maintain keys.
*/
function arrayMap($callback,$arr1) {
$results = array();
$args = array();
if(func_num_args()>2)
$args = (array) array_shift(array_slice(func_get_args(),2));
foreach($arr1 as $key=>$value) {
$temp = $args;
array_unshift($temp,$value);
if(is_array($value)) {
array_unshift($temp,$callback);
$results[$key] = call_user_func_array(array('self','arrayMap'),$temp);
} else {
$results[$key] = call_user_func_array($callback,$temp);
}
}
return $results;
}
?>
Wrote up my own key preservation function for array mapping. It allows n arguments to be passed, and should be easy enough to follow if you need to make any mods. If you've got any thoughts let me know.
<?php
/**

* @param array $array Variable list of array arugments to run through the callback function.
* @return array Array containing all the elements of $arr1 after applying the callback function to each one, recursively, maintain keys.
*/
function arrayMap($callback,$arr1) {
$results = array();
$args = array();
if(func_num_args()>2)
$args = (array) array_shift(array_slice(func_get_args(),2));
foreach($arr1 as $key=>$value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
array_unshift($args,$value);
array_unshift($args,$callback);
$results[$key] = call_user_func_array(array('self','arrayMap'),$args);
}
else {
array_unshift($args,$value);
$results[$key] = call_user_func_array($callback,$args);
}
}
return $results;
}
?>
The following takes an array of objects, and returns the result of calling a member function on each object. So if I have an array of objects that all have a getName() method, calling array_map_objects("getName", $thingies) will return the array filled with the getName() value for each object.
<?php
function array_map_objects($member_function, $array) {
$values = array();
if(is_string($member_function) && is_array($array)) {
$callback = create_function('$e', 'return call_user_func(array($e, "' . $member_function .'"));');
$values = array_map($callback, $array);
}
return $values;
}
?>
Wish this was built in. Mimics Ruby and Prototype's array pluck function. Returns specific key/column from an array of objects.
<?php
function array_pluck($key, $array)
{
if (is_array($key) || !is_array($array)) return array();
$funct = create_function('$e', 'return is_array($e) && array_key_exists("'.$key.'",$e) ? $e["'. $key .'"] : null;');
return array_map($funct, $array);
}
// usage:
$a = array(array("id"=>10, "name"=>"joe"), array("id"=>11, "name"=>"bob"));
$ids = array_pluck("id", $a); // == array(10,11)
$names = array_pluck("name", $a); // == array("joe", "bob")
//works on non-keyed arrays also:
$a = array(array(3,4), array(5,6));
$col2 = array_pluck(1,$a); // == array(4,6) (grab 2nd column of data)
?>
Could also use things like...
array_keys(); and array_values(); offcourse...
However it's just an example off recursion via this function..
Which I found pretty handy at times dealing with arrays..
could also use:
<?php
call_user_func(array($this, __FUNCTION), $args);
?>
or
<?php
call_user_fuc_array(array($this, __FUNCTION__), $array);
?>
or
<?php
class{
public function __construct($arg){
if(is_array($arg)){
new self($arg);
}
else{
echo $arg.'<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
?>
Anyway.. plenty off examples..
It was just an idea for others...
Maybe this one will be useful for someone:
function array_map_helper($mapper, $array) {
$mapper = preg_replace('/^return (.*?);$/', '$1', trim($mapper));
$result = array();
if (preg_match('/(\(?)(.*?)\s*=>\s*(.*?)(\)?)$/', $mapper, $matches)) {
list($full_found, $array_open, $left, $right, $array_close) = $matches;
if ($array_open && $array_close) {
$mapper = '$result[] = array' . $full_found . ';';
} else {
$mapper = '$result[' . $left . '] = ' . $right . ';';
}
} else {
$mapper = '$result[] = ' . $mapper . ';';
}
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
eval($mapper);
}
return $result;
}
should be used like:
$array = array(array('foo' => 11, 'bar' => 22),
array('foo' => 111, 'bar' => 222),
array('foo' => 1111, 'bar' => 2222));
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"] => $value["bar"]', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[11]=>
int(22)
[111]=>
int(222)
[1111]=>
int(2222)
}
or
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"]', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[0]=>
int(11)
[1]=>
int(111)
[2]=>
int(1111)
}
or
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"] + $value["bar"] . " at position $key"', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(16) "33 at position 0"
[1]=>
string(17) "333 at position 1"
[2]=>
string(18) "3333 at position 2"
}
A recursive way to handle multidimensional arrays:
<?php
function multidimensionalArrayMap( $func, $arr )
{
$newArr = array();
foreach( $arr as $key => $value )
{
$newArr[ $key ] = ( is_array( $value ) ? multidimensionalArrayMap( $func, $value ) : $func( $value ) );
}
return $newArr;
}
?>
Hi benjaminhill,
You can apply a method of a instantiated class to array_maps as follows:
class Maths {
function addOne($input) {
return ($input + 1);
}
}
$maths = new Maths();
$sum = array_map(array($maths, \\\'addOne\\\'), array(1, 2));
// where $maths is the object which has been instantiated before and addOne is its method without its own parameters
var_dump($sum);
The code fragment will return:
array
0 => 2
1 => 3
However, I love a syntax like this:
$sum = array_map($maths->addOne($this), array(1, 2));
where $this should be interpreted as each values extracted from the subsequent array, which in this case is array(1, 2).
This syntax reminds me of Javascript syntax.
PHP\\\'s callback mechanism should be improved.
Here's a function, very helpfull to me, that allows you to map your callback on mixed args.
<?php
function array_smart_map($callback) {
// Initialization
$args = func_get_args() ;
array_shift($args) ; // suppressing the callback
$result = array() ;
// Validating parameters
foreach($args as $key => $arg)
if(is_array($arg)) {
// the first array found gives the size of mapping and the keys that will be used for the resulting array
if(!isset($size)) {
$keys = array_keys($arg) ;
$size = count($arg) ;
// the others arrays must have the same dimension
} elseif(count($arg) != $size) {
return FALSE ;
}
// all keys are suppressed
$args[$key] = array_values($arg) ;
}
// doing the callback thing
if(!isset($size))
// if no arrays were found, returns the result of the callback in an array
$result[] = call_user_func_array($callback, $args) ;
else
for($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
$column = array() ;
foreach($args as $arg)
$column[] = ( is_array($arg) ? $arg[$i] : $arg ) ;
$result[$keys[$i]] = call_user_func_array($callback, $column) ;
}
return $result ;
}
?>
Trying with :
<?php
// $_GET is ?foo=bar1-bar2-bar3&bar=foo1
print_r(array_smart_map('explode', '-', $_GET)) ;
?>
Returns :
array(
[foo] => array(
0 => bar1
1 => bar2
2 => bar3
)
[bar] => array(
1 => foo1
)
)
array_map works also fine with create_function:
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array_map(create_function('$n', 'return $n*$n*$n;'), $a);
print_r($b);
?>
if you want to manipulate the elements of the array, instead to on a copy,
than take a look at array_walk:
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
array_walk($a, create_function('&$n', '$n = $n*$n*$n;'));
print_r($a);
?>
The Result of both is:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 8
[2] => 27
[3] => 64
[4] => 125
)
You can pass values to array_map by reference, essentially allowing you to use it as you would array_walk with multiple arrays as parameters.
A trivial example:
<?php
$a = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$add_func = create_function('&$x, $y', '$x+=$y;');
array_map($add_func, $a, $a);
print_r($a);
?>
Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 10
)
