Split Values in Array Using Explode to form Multidimensional Array

Question

I am new to PHP so be kind. :) I have a 3 deep array. Something like this:

Array(5) { 
[0]=> array(5) { 

    [0]=> string(0) "" 
    [1]=> string(21) "0,245.19000000,864432"
    [2]=> string(21) "1,245.26000000,864432" 
    [3]=> string(21) "2,245.49000000,864432" 
    [4]=> string(21) "4,245.33000000,864432" 
}

[1]=> array(5) { 
    [0]=> string(0) "" 
    [1]=> string(21) "0,245.19000000,864453" 
    [2]=> string(21) "1,245.26000000,864453" 
    [3]=> string(21) "2,245.49000000,864453" 
    [4]=> string(21) "4,245.33000000,864453" 
 }
}...

I want to explode the inner string by commas ("2,245.49000000,864453") so the arrays becomes 4 deep like so:

Array(5) { 
  [0]=> array(5) { 

    [0]=> string(0) "" 

    [1]=> array (3)
              [0]=> "0"
              [1]=> "245.19000000"
              [2]=> "864432"

    [2]=> array (3)
              [0]=> "1"
              [1]=> "245.26000000"
              [2]=> "864432"

    [3]=> array (3)
              [0]=> "3"
              [1]=> "245.49000000"
              [2]=> "864432"

    [4]=> array (3)
              [0]=> "4"
              [1]=> "245.3000000"
              [2]=> "864432"

    [4]=> array (3)
              [0]=> "5"
              [1]=> "245.3300000"
              [2]=> "864432"
 }
}
...

So far I have:

$done = array();

for ($i = 0; $i<=count($chunks); $i++) { //loops to get size of each 2d array
$r = count($chunks[$i]);

        for ($c = 0; $c<=count($chunks[$r]); $c++) { //loops through 3d array

        $arrayparts = $chunks[$i][$c];
        $done[] = explode(",", $arrayparts); //$arrayparts is 3d array string that is exploded each time through loop

    }

}

I think this code should work but when I var_dump nothing prints? Can someone help me learn?

Thanks!

Suggested: $chunks is 3d array

foreach($chunks as $innerArray) {
        $result[] = array_map(function($v){
            return explode(",", $v);
        }, $innerArray);
    }

So did my coded worked now or why do you post my answer in your question? – Photophore

Answer 1

Don't make it complicated, just use this:

(Here I go through each innerArray with a foreach loop and then I go through all values with array_map() and explode it and return it to the results array)

<?php

    foreach($arr as $innerArray) {
        $result[] = array_map(function($v){
            return explode(",", $v);
        }, $innerArray);
    }

    print_r($result);

?>

I don't quite understand the $innerArray vs $arr – Pinkiepinkish

@SeanM With the foreach loop I loop over all: [0]=> array(5) { [0]=> string(0) ""... of these arrays and then I explode all values of the array with array_map() in the loop and return it to the results array – Photophore

Ok. I still doesn't want to work. I'm using the array named 3d array $chunks. See edit – Pinkiepinkish

My arrays are set up wrong but this should work. Thanks! – Pinkiepinkish

Answer 2

This uses array_map() two times. Maybe a better way but I'm on beer three:

$result = array_map(function($v){
                        return array_map(function($v){ return explode(',', $v); }, $v);
                    }, $array);
