Using array_walk applied to the inner name array

$a = array(
    'name' => array(
        'Cash Crops','Cereal Crops','Vegetables','Leafy Vegetables','Vine Vegetables'
    )
);

$result = array();

array_walk($a['name'],
    function($value,$index) use (&$result){
        $result[] = array(
            'name' => $value
        );
});

print_r($result);

Will output

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => Cash Crops
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => Cereal Crops
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => Vegetables
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [name] => Leafy Vegetables
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [name] => Vine Vegetables
        )

)

The best way you can do this using a native php function is by using array_map()

<?php
function twod($n)
{
    $res = array('name' => $n);
    return($res);
}

$a['name'] = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$new_array = array_map("twod", $a['name']);
print_r($new_array);
?>

Please be sure to let the community know why you want something in a particular way instead of just saying "I can write logic to convert it but I want array function"

If you're going to copy something directly from the manual, at least make sure the information you're using is related to the question.

bIgBoY Over a year ago

@Jon forgive my ignorance. Could you kindly explain to me, how this is not related to the question?

Jon Over a year ago

You changed the function correctly, but you left the second half of the code directly from the manual and didn't link array_map to the function name that you had changed cube to. ^^ Would also be better if in your array creation, you use the data provided by the question, and show the result in print_r format as well. ^^

Yes, I fixed the "cube" error before commenting that facepalm. Will keep in mind the advice about print_r the result. Thanks again. Cheers!

$oldarray = array()//your array with old data;
$newarray = convertArray($oldarray);

function convertArray($old){
    $new = array();
    foreach($old as $index=>$value)
    {
        $new[]['name'] = $value;
    }
    return $new;
}

This would convert it to your array.

I know logic.I want existing array function in php

Tejas Khutale Over a year ago

I want this function due to writing existing function is good practice rather than writing logic

This oneliner works with any 'name':

$tal = array_map(function($x) use($array)  {return array( array_keys($array)[0] => $x);}, $array[array_keys($array)[0]]);
