array_walk_recursive
For completeness one has to mention the possibility of using this function with PHP 5.3 closures:
<?php
$names = array("D\'Artagnan", "Aramis", "Portos");
array_walk($names, function(&$n) {
$n = stripslashes($n);
});
?>
The trap with array_walk being it doesn't return the array, instead it's modified by reference.
array_walk
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
array_walk — Apply a user function to every member of an array
Description
Applies the user-defined function funcname to each
element of the array array.
array_walk() is not affected by the internal array
pointer of array. array_walk()
will walk through the entire array regardless of pointer position.
Parameters
-
array -
The input array.
-
funcname -
Typically,
funcnametakes on two parameters. Thearrayparameter's value being the first, and the key/index second.Note:
If
funcnameneeds to be working with the actual values of the array, specify the first parameter offuncnameas a reference. Then, any changes made to those elements will be made in the original array itself.Note:
Many internal functions (for example strtolower()) will throw a warning if more than the expected number of argument are passed in and are not usable directly as
funcname.Only the values of the
arraymay potentially be changed; its structure cannot be altered, i.e., the programmer cannot add, unset or reorder elements. If the callback does not respect this requirement, the behavior of this function is undefined, and unpredictable. -
userdata -
If the optional
userdataparameter is supplied, it will be passed as the third parameter to the callbackfuncname.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If function funcname requires more parameters than
given to it, an error of level
E_WARNING will be generated each time array_walk()
calls funcname. These warnings may be suppressed by
prepending the PHP error operator
@ to the
array_walk() call, or by using
error_reporting().
Examples
Example #1 array_walk() example
<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
function test_alter(&$item1, $key, $prefix)
{
$item1 = "$prefix: $item1";
}
function test_print($item2, $key)
{
echo "$key. $item2<br />\n";
}
echo "Before ...:\n";
array_walk($fruits, 'test_print');
array_walk($fruits, 'test_alter', 'fruit');
echo "... and after:\n";
array_walk($fruits, 'test_print');
?>
The above example will output:
Before ...: d. lemon a. orange b. banana c. apple ... and after: d. fruit: lemon a. fruit: orange b. fruit: banana c. fruit: apple

if you want to modify every value of an multidimensional array use this function used here:
<?php
$array = array (1=>1, 2=> 2, 3 => array(1=>11, 2=>12, 3=>13));
$text = "test";
function modarr(&$array, $text) {
foreach ($array as $key => $arr) {
if(is_array($arr)) $res[$key] = modarr(&$arr,$text);
// modification function here
else $res[$key] = $arr.$text;
}
return $res;
}
$erg = modarr($array, $text);
print_r($erg);
?>
result will be_
<?php
Array ( [1] => 1test [2] => 2test [3] => Array ( [1] => 11test [2] => 12test [3] => 13test ) )
?>

If anyone is interested to implement the array_walk functionality to a string. I've made this handy function. Note that this can be easily extended for any type of purpose. I've used this to convert from a string of bytes to a hex string then back from hex to a byte string.
<?php
function string_walk($string,$funcname)
{
for($i=0;$i<strlen($string);$i++) {
call_user_func($funcname,$string{$i});
}
}
function yourFunc($val)
{
echo $val.' ';
}
string_walk('interesting','yourFunc');
//ouput: i n t e r e s t i n g
?>

to the note right before this one. that will only trim leading and trailing white space. if you want to trim white space inside the string (ie 'hello world' to 'hello world') you should use this:
$val = preg_replace ( "/\s\s+/" , " " , $val ) ;
this will also trim leading and trailing white space.

example with closures, checking and deleting value in array:
<?php
$array = array('foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'bat');
array_walk($array, function($val,$key) use(&$array){
if ($val == 'bar') {
unset($array[$key]);
}
});
var_dump($array);

I was looking for trimming all the elements in an array, I found this as the simplest solution:
<?php
array_walk($ids, create_function('&$val', '$val = trim($val);'));

You can use lambda function as a second parameter:
<?php
array_walk($myArray, function(&$value, $key){
// if you want to change array values then "&" before the $value is mandatory.
});
?>
Example (multiply positive values by two):
<?php
$myArray = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
array_walk($myArray, function(&$value, $index){
if ($value > 0) $value *= 2;
});
?>

It can be very useful to pass the third (optional) parameter by reference while modifying it permanently in callback function. This will cause passing modified parameter to next iteration of array_walk(). The exaple below enumerates items in the array:
<?php
function enumerate( &$item1, $key, &$startNum ) {
$item1 = $startNum++ ." $item1";
}
$num = 1;
$fruits = array( "lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");
array_walk($fruits, 'enumerate', $num );
print_r( $fruits );
echo '$num is: '. $num ."\n";
?>
This outputs:
Array
(
[0] => 1 lemon
[1] => 2 orange
[2] => 3 banana
[3] => 4 apple
)
$num is: 1
Notice at the last line of output that outside of array_walk() the $num parameter has initial value of 1. This is because array_walk() does not take the third parameter by reference.. so what if we pass the reference as the optional parameter..
<?php
$num = 1;
$fruits = array( "lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");
array_walk($fruits, 'enumerate', &$num ); // reference here
print_r( $fruits );
echo '$num is: '. $num ."\n";
echo "we've got ". ($num - 1) ." fruits in the basket!";
?>
This outputs:
Array
(
[0] => 1 lemon
[1] => 2 orange
[2] => 3 banana
[3] => 4 apple
)
$num is: 5
we've got 4 fruits in the basket!
Now $num has changed so we are able to count the items (without calling count() unnecessarily).
As a conclusion, using references with array_walk() can be powerful toy but this should be done carefully since modifying third parameter outside the array_walk() is not always what we want.

####### I intuitively tried to use array_walk function with PHP built-in function "abs($var)" but it did not work and got some warning message
<?php
$values = array(-5,2,3,-8,4,-1,0);
array_walk($values, "abs");
?>
=> Warning: abs() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in ...
###### Then I wrote this function :
<?php
function myAbs(&$val){
$val = abs($val);
}
array_walk($values, "myAbs");
?>
##### It works!

here is a simple and yet easy to use implementation of this function.
the 'original' function has the problem that you can't unset a value.
with my function, YOU CAN!
<?php
function array_walk_protected(&$a,$s,$p=null)
{
if(!function_exists($s)||!is_array($a))
{
return false;
}
foreach($a as $k=>$v)
{
if(call_user_func_array($s,array(&$a[$k],$k,$p))===false)
{
unset($a[$k]);
}
}
}
function get_name(&$e,$i,$p)
{
echo "$i: $e<br>";
return false;
}
$m=array('d'=>'33','Y'=>55);
array_walk_protected($m,'get_name');
var_dump($m); //returns array(0) { }
?>
i called it array_walk_protected because it is protected against the unexpected behavior of unsetting the value with the original function.
to delete an element, simply return false!!!
nothing else is needed!
unsetting $e, under your created function, will keep the same array as-is, with no changes!
by the way, the function returns false if $a is not array or $s is not a string!
limitations: it only can run user defined functions.
i hope you like it!

Note that using array_walk with intval is inappropriate.
There are many examples on internet that suggest to use following code to safely escape $_POST arrays of integers:
<?php
array_walk($_POST['something'],'intval'); // does nothing in PHP 5.3.3
?>
It works in _some_ older PHP versions (5.2), but is against specifications. Since intval() does not modify it's arguments, but returns modified result, the code above has no effect on the array and will leave security hole in your website.
You can use following instead:
<?php
$_POST['something'] = array_map(intval,$_POST['something']);
?>

As well as being able to pass the array the callback will be working on by reference, one can pass the optional userdata parameters by reference also:
<?php
function surprise($x,$key,$xs)
{
//$key is unused here.
$x.='!';
array_push($xs,$x);
}
$array1 = array('this','that','the other');
$array2 = array();
array_walk($array1,'surprise',&$array2);
print_r($array1);
print_r($array2);
?>
Of course, that precise example would be better handled by array_map, but the principle is there.

If array_walk_recursive() is not present and you want to apply htmlentities() on each array element you can use this:
<?php
function array_htmlentities(&$elem)
{
if (!is_array($elem))
{
$elem=htmlentities($elem);
}
else
{
foreach ($elem as $key=>$value)
$elem[$key]=array_htmlentities($value);
}
return $elem;
} // array_htmlentities()
?>
If you want to output an array with print_r() and you have html in it this function is very helpful.

It's worth nothing that array_walk can not be used to change keys in the array.
The function may be defined as (&$value, $key) but not (&$value, &$key).
Even though PHP does not complain/warn, it does not modify the key.

Prefix array values with keys and retrieve as a glued string, the original array remains unchanged. I used this to create some SQL queries from arrays.
<?php
function array_implode_prefix($outer_glue, $arr, $inner_glue, $prefix=false){
array_walk( $arr , "prefix", array($inner_glue, $prefix) );
return implode($outer_glue, $arr);
}
function prefix(&$value, $key, array $additional){
$inner_glue = $additional[0];
$prefix = isset($additional[1])? $additional[1] : false;
if($prefix === false) $prefix = $key;
$value = $prefix.$inner_glue.$value;
}
//Example 1:
$order_by = array("3"=>"ASC", "2"=>"DESC", "7"=>"ASC");
echo array_implode_prefix(",", $order_by, " ");
//Output: 3 ASC,2 DESC,7 ASC
//Example 2:
$columns = array("product_id", "category_id", "name", "description");
$table = "product";
echo array_implode_prefix(", ", $columns, ".", $table);
//Output:product.product_id, product.category_id, product.name, product.description
//Example 3 (function prefix) won't really be used on its own
$pre= "vacation";
$value = "lalaland";
prefix($value, $pre, array("."));
echo $value;
//Output: vacation.lalaland

For all those people trying to shoe-horn trim() into array_walk() and have found all these tricks to work around the issue with array_walk() passing 2 parameters to the callback...
Check out array_map().
http://php.net/array_map
It's all sorts of win.
For the record. I'm one of these people and after 15 years of php development I'm pleased to say that there's still things I'm learning. :) I just found out about array_map() myself...

I wanted to walk an array and reverse map it into a second array. I decided to use array_walk because it should be faster than a reset,next loop or foreach(x as &$y) loop.
<?php
$output = array();
array_walk($input, 'gmapmark_reverse', $output);
function gmapmark_reverse(&$item, $index, &$target) {
$target[$item['form_key']] = $index;
}
?>
In my debugger I can see that $target is progressively updated, but when array_walk returns, $output is empty. If however I use a (deprecated) call-by-reference:
<?php
array_walk($input, 'gmapmark_reverse', &$output);
?>
$output is returned correctly. Unfortunately there's not an easy way to suppress the warnings:
<?php
@array_walk($input, 'gmapmark_reverse', &$output);
?>
doesn't silence them. I've designed a workaround using a static array:
<?php
$reverse = array();
array_walk($input, 'gmapmark_reverse');
// call function one last time to get target array out, because parameters don't work
$reverse = gmapmark_reverse($reverse);
function gmapmark_reverse(&$item, $index = 0) {
static $target;
if (!$target) {
$target = array();
}
if (isset($item['form_key'])) {
$target[$item['form_key']] = $index;
}
return($target);
}

$product_2 = 'test 2';
function array_key_filter($array,$callback = 'trim')
{
$filtered = array();
array_walk($array,function ($degeri,$degisken_adi) use (&$filtered,$callback)
{
if($callback($degisken_adi))
{
$filtered[$degisken_adi] = $degeri;
}
});
return $filtered;
}
#using
$degiskenler = array_key_filter(get_defined_vars(),function($key)
{
return strpos($key,'product_') === 0;
});
print_r($degiskenler);
?>
output:
Array
(
[product_1] => test
[product_2] => test 2
)

Here's a handy function that illustrates using an array_walk that uses a create_function as the callback which in turn uses another array_walk with another create_function that outputs the global variables pretty-print style.
Note that by using $g=array() as the first arg for array_walk it isn't necessary to declare the array beforehand.
Other notes: ob_start, (print), and array_walk all return true on success which is how the if processing works.
Using <?php !!$array; ?> returns true only if sizeof array is greater than 0, just a shortcut for <?php if(sizeof($array)>0);?> ... more in the php manual section on booleans.
The output is meant to be displayed inline on a page so the htmlspecialchars is called on the output. The output is buffered by ob_start and is then output by echoing the return of ob_get_clean(), which returns the buffer and cleans the buffer.
DEBUG would need to be a defined constant for this to execute, personally I like to
<?php
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']=='MYSTATICIPADDRESS') askapache_global_debug();
//or
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']=='MYSTATICIPADDRESS') define('DEBUG',TRUE);
?>
<?php
function askapache_global_debug()
{
array_walk(
$g=array('_GET','_POST','_COOKIE','_SESSION','_ENV','_SERVER'),
create_function('$n','global $$n;
if(
!!$$n
&& ob_start()
&& (print "( $"."$n )\n")
&& array_walk($$n,
create_function(\'&$v,$k\', \'echo "[$k] => $v\n";\'))
)
echo "<pre>".htmlspecialchars(ob_get_clean())."</pre>";'
)
);
}
if(DEBUG) askapache_global_debug();

Using lambdas you can create a handy zip function to zip together the keys and values of an array. I extended it to allow you to pass in the "glue" string as the optional userdata parameter. The following example is used to zip an array of email headers:
<?php
/**
* Zip together the keys and values of an array using the provided glue
*
* The values of the array are replaced with the new computed value
*
* @param array $data
* @param string $glue
*/
function zip(&$data, $glue=': ')
{
if(!is_array($data)) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('First parameter must be an array');
}
array_walk($data, function(&$value, $key, $joinUsing) {
$value = $key . $joinUsing . $value;
}, $glue);
}
$myName = 'Matthew Purdon';
$myEmail = 'matthew@example.com';
$from = "$myName <$myEmail>";
$headers['From'] = $from;
$headers['Reply-To'] = $from;
$headers['Return-path'] = "<$myEmail>";
$headers['X-Mailer'] = "PHP" . phpversion() . "";
$headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain; charset="UTF-8"';
zip($headers);
$headers = implode("\n", $headers);
$headers .= "\n";
echo $headers;
/*
From: Matthew Purdon <matthew@example.com>
Reply-To: Matthew Purdon <matthew@example.com>
Return-path: <matthew@example.com>

Unfortunately I spent a lot of time trying to permanently apply the effects of a function to an array using the array_walk function when instead array_map was what I wanted. Here is a very simple though effective example for those who may be getting overly frustrated with this function...
<?php
$fruits = array("Lemony & Fresh","Orange Twist","Apple Juice");
print_r($fruits);
echo '<br />';
function name_base($key)
{
$name2 = str_replace(" ", "_", $key);
$name3 = str_replace("&", "and", $name2);
$name4 = strtolower($name3);
echo $name4.'<br />';
return $name4;
}
echo '<br />';
$test = array_map('name_base', $fruits);
$fruits_fixed = $test;
echo '<br />';
print_r($fruits_fixed);

I had some problems using this function - it didn't want to apply PHP-defined functions. So I decided to write my own - here it is. I had to use some generic-programming skills, didn't really checked the speed (I think it could be slow)... I believe it could be much better, but I don't know, how - well, I guess multiple array support and recursion would be nice. So?
Prototype:
bool arrayWalk(array &$arry, callback $callback, mixed $params=false)
<?php
function arrayWalk(&$arry, $callback, $params=false) {
$P=array(""); // parameters
$a=""; // arguement string :)
if($params !== false) { // add parameters
if(is_array($params)) { // multiple additional parameters
foreach($params as $par)
{ $P[]=$par; }
}
else // just one additional
{ $P[]=$params; }
}
for( // create the arguement string
$i=0; isset($P[$i]); ++$i
)
{ $a.='$'.chr($i + 97).', '; } // random argument names
$a=substr($a, 0, -2); // to get rid of the last comma and two spaces
$func=create_function($a, 'return '.$callback.'('.$a.');'); // the generic function
if(is_callable($func)) {
for( // cycle through array
$i=0; isset($arry[$i]); ++$i
) {
$P[0]=$arry[$i]; // first element must be the first argument - array value
$arry[$i] = call_user_func_array($func, $P); // assign the new value obtained by the generic function
}
}
else
{ return false; } // failure - function not callable
return true; // success!
} // arrayWalk()
?>
One big problem I've noticed so far - for example, if you wanted to use str_replace on the array, you'd fail - simply because of the arguement order of str_replace, where the string modified is the third arguement, not the first as arrayWalk requires.
So, still some work left...

When i pass the third parameter by reference in php5.2.5,
happened this: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value...
And to set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in php.ini won't work, according to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19699 thus to work around:
<?php
array_walk($arrChnOut, create_function('&$v, $k, $arr_rtn', 'if ($k{0}!="_") {$arr_rtn[0]["_".$v[\'ID\']]=$v; unset($arr_rtn[0][$k]);}'), array(&$arrChnOut));
?>

On array_walk and create_function used within a class scope - Anonymous functions are out of scope. So, if you want to access $this within the anonymous function, you'd have to pass it through the third parameter...
<?php
// example copies all values into $this where key is the same as property name
array_walk($array, create_function('$v,$k,&$that', 'if (property_exists($that,$k)) {$that->$k = $v;}'), $this);
// or, switch it around and array_walk the object
array_walk($this, create_function('&$v,$k,$array','if (array_key_exists($k,$array)) {$v = $array[$k];}'), $array);

In response to 'ibolmo', this is an extended version of string_walk, allowing to pass userdata (like array_walk) and to have the function edit the string in the same manner as array_walk allows, note now though that you have to pass a variable, since PHP cannot pass string literals by reference (logically).
<?php
function string_walk(&$string, $funcname, $userdata = null) {
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++) {
# NOTE: PHP's dereference sucks, we have to do this.
$hack = $string{$i};
call_user_func($funcname, &$hack, $i, $userdata);
$string{$i} = $hack;
}
}
function yourFunc($value, $position) {
echo $value . ' ';
}
function yourOtherFunc(&$value, $position) {
$value = str_rot13($value);
}
# NOTE: We now need this ugly $x = hack.
string_walk($x = 'interesting', 'yourFunc');
// Ouput: i n t e r e s t i n g
string_walk($x = 'interesting', 'yourOtherFunc');
echo $x;
// Output: vagrerfgvat
?>
Also note that calling str_rot13() directly on $x would be much faster ;-) just a sample.

You want to get rid of the whitespaces users add in your form fields...?
Simply use...:
class SomeVeryImportantClass
{
...
public function mungeFormData(&$data)
{
array_walk($data, array($this, 'munge'));
}
private function munge(&$value, &$key)
{
if(is_array($value))
{
$this->mungeFormData($value);
}
else
{
$value = trim($value);
}
}
...
}
so...
$obj = new SomeVeryImportantClass;
$obj->mungeFormData($_POST);

Beware that "array ($this, method)" construct. If you're wanting to alter members of the "$this" object inside "method" you should construct the callback like this:
$callback[] = &$this;
$callback[] = method;
array_walk ($input, $callback);
Creating your callback using the array() method as suggested by "appletalk" results in a copy of $this being passed to method, not the original object, therefor any changes made to the object by method will be lost when array_walk() returns. While you could construct the callback with "array(&$this, method)", I believe this relies on the deprecated runtime pass-by-reference mechanism which may be removed in future releases of PHP. Better to not create a dependence on that feature now than having to track it down and fix it in the future.

Behaviour like array_walk_recursive() can be achieved in php <=5 by a callback function to array_walk() similar to this:
function walkcallback(&$val,$key) {
if (is_array($val)) array_walk($val,'walkcallback',$new);
else {
// do what you want with $val and $key recursively
}
}

one rather important note that was lost in the Great PHP Doc Note Purge of '04 is that you can call methods using array_walk(). Let's assume that we have a class named 'Search', in which there is a method called 'convertKeywords'. Here's how you would call that convertKeywords method from inside the class:
array_walk($keywords, array($this, 'convertKeywords'));
Notice that, instead of giving a string as the second argument, you give an array with two items: the variable that holds the class (in this case, $this), and the method to call. Here's what it would look like if you were to call convertKeywords from an already-instantiated class:
$search = new Search;
array_walk($keywords, array($search, 'convertKeywords'));

I tried this function to create safe SQL arrays when I'm creating query strings from keywords, but I found it to be too bulky for my purposes. So, instead I created this function:
<?php
//Create a SQL safe array
function mysql_safe_array($array)
{
$array = array();
foreach($array as $item)
{
$safe = mysql_real_escape_string($item);
array_push($array,$safe);
unset($safe);
}
return $array;
}
//Example usage
$keywords = explode(" ",$_GET['keywords']);
$keywords = mysql_safe_array($keywords);
$query_s = implode("%' AND `field` LIKE '%",$keywords);
$query = "`description` LIKE '%$query_s%'";
$query = stripslashes(implode(" ",$query));
?>

Although the manual warned you not to unset element, but sometimes thus is very useful and work as charm:
<?php
$arrChnOut=array(0=>array('ID' => '13',
'ChannelName' => 'Computers'
),
1=>array('ID' => '17',
'ChannelName' => 'Computers'
),
2=>array('ID' => '18',
'ChannelName' => 'Computers'
),
);
array_walk($arrChnOut, create_function('&$v, $k, $arr_rtn', 'if ($k{0}!="_"){$arr_rtn["_".$v[\'ID\']]=$v;unset($arr_rtn[$k]);}'), &$arrChnOut);
var_export($arrChnOut);
?>

no sure if this should go under array-walk but it does what i need, it searches a multidimensionial array by using an array to walk it, it either returns a value or an array.
<?php
function walker($walk, $array) {
if (count($walk) >0) {
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if ($key == $walk[0]) {
if (is_array($value)) {
unset($walk[0]);
return walker(array_values($walk), $value);
} else {
if (isset($value)) {
if (count($walk) == 1) {
return $value;
} else {
return 0;
}
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}
}
return 0;
} else {
return $array;
}
}
?>

This is a short way to concatenate a string to each element of an array:
$arr=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
$str=' test'; // must not include ' or " ...
array_walk($arr,create_function('&$elem','$elem .= "' . $str . '";'));
var_export($arr);
The output is:
array ( 0 => '1 test', 1 => '2 test', 2 => '3 test', 3 => '4 test', 4 => '5 test', 5 => '6 test', 6 => '7 test', 7 => '8 test', 8 => '9 test', 9 => '0 test', )

The array() keyword is a language construct, not a function, so I don't think this is applicable.

If you are using array_walk on a class, dont will work
so ... try this on your own class:
class your_own_class {
/**
* @return void
* @param array $input
* @param string $funcname
* @desc A little workaround, do the same thing.
*/
function array_walk($input, $funcname) {
foreach ($input as $key => $value) $this->$funcname($value, $key);
}
}

normaly the $_GET array will add slashes to the array values. To remove all slashes in this array, i created the folowing code
set_magic_quotes_runtime (0);
function StripAllSlashes (&$ArrayGET, $Value)
{
if (is_array ($ArrayGET)) array_walk ($ArrayGET, "StripAllSlashes");
else $ArrayGET = stripslashes ($ArrayGET);
}
if (isset ($_GET) && get_magic_quotes_gpc ()) array_walk ($_GET, "StripAllSlashes");
I hope this code was usefull,

To retrieve the userData parameter outside the function, you have to pass it by reference inside an array.
<?php
$customData = array();
$myArray = array('apple', 'orange', 'banana');
array_walk($myArray, 'myFunction', array(&$customData));
function myFunction(&$item, $index, $data)
{
$data[0][$index] = strlen($item);
// ...
}
print_r($customData);
?>
Output :
Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => 6 [2] => 6 )
