Multi Dimensional array value print without any key

Question

I want to print a array where I don't know the dimension of the array value. Now the fact is when I use echo '<pre>' and then print_r($array) it will show the Key and value with <br> display. But I want to display only the value and not the key of the array. That $array may contain multi-dimensional array value or single value or both.

If you have multiple keys/values in your array, would you want to display all, or just one? — lucasem

You have to use recursive function:

$array_list = array('a',array(array('b','c','d'),'e')); // Your unknown array
print_array($array_list);
function print_array($array_list){
    foreach($array_list as $item){
        if(is_array($item)){
            print_array($item);
        }else{
            echo $item.'<br>';
        }
    }
}

try this Recursive function

function print_array($array, $space="")
{
    foreach($array as $key=>$val)
    {
        if(is_array($val))
        {
            $space_new = $space." ";
            print_array($val, $space_new);
        }   
        else
        {
            echo $space." ".$val." ".PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

In a short, you may use a recursive function for what you want to achieve:

function print_no_keys(array $array){
    foreach($array as $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            print_no_keys($value);
        } else {
            echo $value, PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

Another way is to use array_walk_recursive().

If you want to use indentation, then try this:

function print_no_keys(array $array, $indentSize = 4, $level = 0){
    $indent = $level ? str_repeat(" ", $indentSize * $level) : '';

    foreach($array as $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            print_no_keys($value, $indentSize, $level + 1);
        } else {
            echo $indent, print_r($value, true), PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

Example:

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');

$a = [1, [ 2, 3 ], 4, new stdClass];

function print_no_keys(array $array, $indentSize = 4, $level = 0){
    $indent = $level ? str_repeat(" ", $indentSize) : '';

    foreach($array as $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            print_no_keys($value, $indentSize, $level + 1);
        } else {
            echo $indent, print_r($value, true), PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

print_no_keys($a);
?>

Output:

1
    2
    3
4
stdClass Object
