Reset array keys in multidimensional array
- by nbaumann
I've been looking around for a solution to this with no real success. I have a multidimensional array of parents and children with no limits on depth. This is generated from a database but the issue is that the item ID becomes the key using my way of arranging a flat array into a multidimensional array like so:
Array(
[28] => Array
(
[id] => 28
[color] => #ff24e5
[name] => Personal
[parent_id] =>
[children] => Array
(
[23] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[color] => #41c3a3
[name] => Shopping
[parent_id] => 28
[children] => Array
(
[22] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[color] => #8be32b
[name] => Deals
[parent_id] => 23
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
[150] => Array
(
[id] => 150
[color] => #e9a3f0
[name] => Orders
[parent_id] => 28
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
)
What I would like, is a function that does the following:
Array (
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 28
[color] => #ff24e5
[name] => Personal
[parent_id] =>
[children] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[color] => #41c3a3
[name] => Shopping
[parent_id] => 28
[children] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[color] => #8be32b
[name] => Deals
[user_id] => 1
[selected] => 0
[parent_id] => 23
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 150
[color] => #e9a3f0
[name] => Orders
[parent_id] => 28
[children] => Array
(
)
)
)
)
)
Essentially reassign keys starting from 0. I've tried numerous methods, but I'm assuming that I need to find a recursive solution and when I tried that, it destroyed my array. I was reading up on the array_walk_recursive() function, but I don't quite know what to do beyond that. Essentially, is there a way to reset numeric keys in a multidimensional array?
Thanks for the help!
