Creating nested parent child array from multi dimensional array in php

Question

I have this array

$array =  Array
    (
        [a] => Array
            (
                [0] => b
                [1] => h
            )

        [b] => c
        [c] => d
        [h] => m
    )

And I need to convert the array to like below

Array
(
    [a] => Array
        (
            [b] => Array
                (
                    [c] => Array
                        (
                            [d] => Array
                                (
                                )

                        )

                )

            [h] => Array
                (
                    [m] => Array
                        (
                        )

                )

        )

)

I already asked this question for One Dimensional array.

I tried with [Creating nested parent child array from one dimensional array in php and I got the below array

Array
(
    [a] => Array
        (
            [b] => Array
                (
                    [a] => Array
                        (
                            [h] => Array
                                (
                                    [b] => Array
                                        (
                                            [c] => Array

                                                    [d] => Array
                                                        (
                                                        )

                                                    [h] => Array
                                                        (

                                                                (
                                                                )

                                                        )

                                                )

                                        )

If I understand correctly, you first want all the keys of the first level as child element of the first entry, then the last element of each child array as child of the last element? — Félix Adriyel Gagnon-Grenier

<?php 

$array = array( 
   'a' => array(0=>'b',1=>'h'),
   'b' => 'c',
   'c' => 'd',
   'h' => 'm',
);

$newArray    = array();
$secondarray = array();
$part        = &$newArray;
$i=1;

foreach($array as $first => $second)
{
    if($i==1)
    {
        $firstone=$first;
    }
    else
    {
        if($i==count($array))
        {
            $newArray[$first] = array($second => array());
            $secondarray[$firstone]=$newArray;
        }
        else
        {
            $part = &$part[$first];
            $part[$second] = array();
         }
     }
     $i++;
}

echo '<pre>';print_r($secondarray);

output

Array

    [a] => Array
        (
            [b] => Array
                (

                        )

                )

            [h] => Array
                (

                        (
                        )
