In response to "Andrzej Martynowicz at gmail dot com", regarding the use of array_walk with the optional 3rd parameter being modified by reference:
while your solution works, yet another option is to call array_walk like so:
<?php
array_walk($array1, 'userfunction', &$array2byreference);
function userfunction(&$array1value, $key, $array2){
// process $array1value and $array2, $array2 will retain the values
}
?>
array_walk
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
array_walk — Wendet eine Benutzerfunktion auf jedem Element eines Arrays an
Beschreibung
Wendet die mittels funcname angegebene
Benutzerfunktion auf jedes Element von array
an.
array_walk() ist nicht von dem internen
Arrayzeiger von array betroffen.
array_walk() geht ungeachtet der Zeigerposition
das gesamte Array durch.
Parameter-Liste
-
array -
Das Eingabe-Array.
-
funcname -
Typischerweise akzeptiert
funcnamezwei Parameter. Der Wert vonarraywird als erster übergeben, und der Schlüssel/Index als zweiter.Hinweis:
Wenn
funcnamedirekt mit den Werten des Arrays arbeiten soll, spezifizieren Sie den ersten Parameter vonfuncnameals Referenz. Dann werden alle Änderungen an diesen Elementen direkt in dem originalen Array durchgeführt.Hinweis:
Viele interne Funktionen (wie z.B. strtolower()) erzeugen eine Warnung, wenn mehr als die erwartete Anzahl von Parametern übergeben wird; sie sind auch nicht direkt nutzbar als
funcname.Nur die Werte von
arraykönnen geändert werden. Die Struktur des Arrays kann nicht geändert werden, d.h. dass der Programmierer keine Elemente hinzufügen oder löschen kann und dass die Reihenfolge der Elemente nicht geändert werden kann. Falls die Callback-Funktion diese Anforderung nicht beachtet, ist der Verhalten dieser Funktion nicht definiert und auch nicht vorhersagbar. -
userdata -
Wenn der optionale Parameter
userdataangegeben ist, wird er als dritter Parameter dem Callbackfuncnameübergeben.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück. Im Fehlerfall wird FALSE zurückgegeben.
Fehler/Exceptions
Sollte die Funktion funcname mehr als die
ihr übergebenen Parameter benötigen, wird bei jedem Aufruf von
funcname durch array_walk()
eine Fehlermeldung der Stufe
E_WARNING generiert. Diese Warnmeldungen können unterdrückt
werden, indem man dem Funktionsaufruf von
array_walk() den Operator @ voranstellt,
oder error_reporting() verwendet.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 array_walk()-Beispiel
<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "Zitrone", "a" => "Orange", "b" => "Banane", "c" => "Apfel");
function test_alter(&$item1, $key, $prefix)
{
$item1 = "$prefix: $item1";
}
function test_print($item2, $key)
{
echo "$key. $item2<br>\n";
}
echo "Vorher ...:\n";
array_walk($fruits, 'test_print');
array_walk($fruits, 'test_alter', 'Frucht');
echo "... und nachher:\n";
array_walk($fruits, 'test_print');
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
Vorher ...: d. Zitrone a. Orange b. Banane c. Apfel ... und nachher: d. Frucht: Zitrone a. Frucht: Orange b. Frucht: Banane c. Frucht: Apfel

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 ) )
?>

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.
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;
}
}

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.

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
?>

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', )

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:
<?
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..
<?
$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.

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+/" , " " , $val ) ;
this will also trim leading and trailing white space.
27-May-2005 12:03
You want to get rid of the whitespaces users add in your form fields...?
Simply use...:
class SomeVeryImportantClass
{
...
public function mungeFormData(&$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);

> I believe this relies on the deprecated runtime
> pass-by-reference mechanism
The array() keyword is a language construct, not a function, so I don't think this is applicable.
08-Apr-2005 08:17
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.
17-Jan-2005 03:27
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($array2);
?>
Of course, that precise example would be better handled by array_map, but the principle is there.
23-Dec-2004 03:26
To use array_walk with a class simply do:
array_walk($input, array($this, method) );
11-Nov-2004 02:24
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, $key);
}
}
If array_walk_recursive() is not present and you want to apply htmlentities() on each array element you can use this:
function array_htmlentities(&$elem)
{
if (!is_array($elem))
{
$elem=htmlentities($elem);
}
else
{
foreach ($elem as $key=>$value)
$elem[$key]=array_htmlentities($value);
}
return $elem;
} // array_htmlentities()
If you want to output an array with print_r() and you have html in it this function is very helpful.
16-Oct-2004 04:31
Behaviour like array_walk_recursive() can be achieved in php <=5 by a callback function to array_walk() similar to this:
function walkcallback(&$val,$key) {
if (is_array($val)) array_walk($val,'walkcallback',$new);
else {
// do what you want with $val and $key recursively
}
}
04-Sep-2004 01:54
It's worth nothing that array_walk can not be used to change keys in the array.
The function may be defined as (&$value, $key) but not (&$value, &$key).
Even though PHP does not complain/warn, it does not modify the key.
03-Sep-2004 09:13
one rather important note that was lost in the Great PHP Doc Note Purge of '04 is that you can call methods using array_walk(). Let's assume that we have a class named 'Search', in which there is a method called 'convertKeywords'. Here's how you would call that convertKeywords method from inside the class:
array_walk($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'));

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,
