Hope you can help me with this. Because I'm trying to reorder them but i need first to make the be at a single level of array. From associative array to single array.
$MY_ASSOC_ARRAY
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 1
[ORDER] => 1
[NAME] => Animal
[PARENT_ID] => 0
[childs] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 4
[ORDER] => 4
[NAME] => doggie
[PARENT_ID] => 1
[childs] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 18
[ORDER] => 18
[NAME] => hunting
[PARENT_ID] => 4
[childs] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 21
[ORDER] => 21
[NAME] => setter
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
[1] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 22
[ORDER] => 22
[NAME] => pointer
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 19
[ORDER] => 19
[NAME] => companion
[PARENT_ID] => 4
)
)
)
)
)
)
Alright now the array should not be in that multi level (associative) array instead it will look like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 1
[ORDER] => 1
[NAME] => Animal
[PARENT_ID] => 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 4
[ORDER] => 4
[NAME] => doggie
[PARENT_ID] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 18
[ORDER] => 18
[NAME] => hunting
[PARENT_ID] => 4
)
[3] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 21
[ORDER] => 21
[NAME] => setter
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
[4] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 22
[ORDER] => 22
[NAME] => pointer
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
[5] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 19
[ORDER] => 19
[NAME] => companion
[PARENT_ID] => 4
)
)
I'm no sure how will that be possible in the most effecient way without using too much memory that will affect the speed with the use of Php Codeigniter. Thanks!
[UPDATE # 1] here are the code that I have tried but the order is different
foreach($tree as $key => $value) {
$single[] = $value;
}
And this is the output for this failed attemp...
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 1
[ORDER] => 1
[NAME] => Animal
[PARENT_ID] => 0
)
[1] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 4
[ORDER] => 4
[NAME] => doggie
[PARENT_ID] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 18
[ORDER] => 18
[NAME] => hunting
[PARENT_ID] => 4
)
[3] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 19
[ORDER] => 19
[NAME] => companion
[PARENT_ID] => 4
)
[4] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 21
[ORDER] => 21
[NAME] => setter
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
[5] => Array
(
[MAIN_ID] => 22
[ORDER] => 22
[NAME] => pointer
[PARENT_ID] => 18
)
)
The [NAME] => companion should be at the last array not on 4th ([3] => Array)
UPDATE # 2:
Feel bad about the down votes... if this question or problem is not useful on your end
<?php
