How to Change Array Structure in PHP

Question

I have an array in the following form,

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [emailAddress] => [email protected]
            [subject] => Hi
            [content] => How are you?
            [attachment] => QmFzZTY0IGlzIGFuIGVuY29kaW5nIHNjaGVtZSB1c2VkIHRvIHJlcHJlc2VudCBiaW5hcnkgZGF0YSBpbiBhbiBBU0NJSSBmb3JtYXQuIA==
            [fileName] => Base 64 Encoder
        )
)

How could I have it on the following form:

Array
(
    [emailAddress] => [email protected]
    [subject] => Hi
    [content] => How are you?
    [attachments] => Array
        (
            [attachment] => QmFzZTY0IGlzIGFuIGVuY29kaW5nIHNjaGVtZSB1c2VkIHRvIHJlcHJlc2VudCBiaW5hcnkgZGF0YSBpbiBhbiBBU0NJSSBmb3JtYXQu
            [fileName] => Base 64 Encoder
        )

)

And is there any way to convert the type of [attachments] => Array to [attachments] => Object? like below:

Array
(
    [emailAddress] => [email protected]
    [subject] => Hi
    [content] => How are you?
    [attachments] => Object
        (
            [attachment] => QmFzZTY0IGlzIGFuIGVuY29kaW5nIHNjaGVtZSB1c2VkIHRvIHJlcHJlc2VudCBiaW5hcnkgZGF0YSBpbiBhbiBBU0NJSSBmb3JtYXQu
            [fileName] => Base 64 Encoder
        )

)

I've tried to look number of methods (like array_push, array_splice and etc.) but still can't get it. Hope someone can help me with that. Thanks.

Do you want to change the array AFTER it's build or change the way it's build the first time? — Epodax

I want to change it after it's build. Because the original array is retrieved from the excel file. — MizaUnic

$array[0] ? If you want to generate it that way, then paste how this was generated. — Jigar

@Jigar, I have retrieved the original array from the excel file, that is why it looks like that. — MizaUnic

Try this

$result = array();
$result = $arr[0];
$result['attachments'] = new stdClass();
$result['attachments']->attachment = $result['attachment'];
$result['attachments']->fileName = $result['fileName'];
unset($result['attachment']);
print_r($result);
