array_keys
If you want to pass an argument like ENT_QUOTES to htmlentities, you can do the follow.
<?php
$array = array_map( 'htmlentities' , $array, array_fill(0 , count($array) , ENT_QUOTES) );
?>
The third argument creates an equal sized array of $array filled with the parameter you want to give with your callback function.
array_map
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)
array_map — Applies the callback to the elements of the given arrays
Description
array_map() returns an array containing all the elements of arr1 after applying the callback function to each one. The number of parameters that the callback function accepts should match the number of arrays passed to the array_map()
Parameters
- callback
-
Callback function to run for each element in each array.
- arr1
-
An array to run through the callback function.
- array
-
Variable list of array arguments to run through the callback function.
Return Values
Returns an array containing all the elements of arr1 after applying the callback function to each one.
Examples
Example #1 array_map() example
<?php
function cube($n)
{
return($n * $n * $n);
}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array_map("cube", $a);
print_r($b);
?>
This makes $b have:
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 8 [2] => 27 [3] => 64 [4] => 125 )
Example #2 array_map() using lambda function (as of PHP 5.3.0)
<?php
/* As of PHP 5.3.0 */
$func = function($value) { return $value * 2; };
print_r(array_map($func, range(1, 5)));
?>
Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 4 [2] => 6 [3] => 8 [4] => 10 )
Examples
Example #3 array_map() - using more arrays
<?php
function show_Spanish($n, $m)
{
return("The number $n is called $m in Spanish");
}
function map_Spanish($n, $m)
{
return(array($n => $m));
}
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array("uno", "dos", "tres", "cuatro", "cinco");
$c = array_map("show_Spanish", $a, $b);
print_r($c);
$d = array_map("map_Spanish", $a , $b);
print_r($d);
?>
The above example will output:
// printout of $c Array ( [0] => The number 1 is called uno in Spanish [1] => The number 2 is called dos in Spanish [2] => The number 3 is called tres in Spanish [3] => The number 4 is called cuatro in Spanish [4] => The number 5 is called cinco in Spanish ) // printout of $d Array ( [0] => Array ( [1] => uno ) [1] => Array ( [2] => dos ) [2] => Array ( [3] => tres ) [3] => Array ( [4] => cuatro ) [4] => Array ( [5] => cinco ) )
Usually when using two or more arrays, they should be of equal length because the callback function is applied in parallel to the corresponding elements. If the arrays are of unequal length, the shortest one will be extended with empty elements.
An interesting use of this function is to construct an array of arrays, which can be easily performed by using NULL as the name of the callback function
Example #4 Creating an array of arrays
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array("one", "two", "three", "four", "five");
$c = array("uno", "dos", "tres", "cuatro", "cinco");
$d = array_map(null, $a, $b, $c);
print_r($d);
?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => one [2] => uno ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => two [2] => dos ) [2] => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => three [2] => tres ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => four [2] => cuatro ) [4] => Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => five [2] => cinco ) )
If the array argument contains string keys then the returned array will contain string keys if and only if exactly one array is passed. If more than one argument is passed then the returned array always has integer keys.
Example #5 array_map() - with string keys
<?php
$arr = array("stringkey" => "value");
function cb1($a) {
return array ($a);
}
function cb2($a, $b) {
return array ($a, $b);
}
var_dump(array_map("cb1", $arr));
var_dump(array_map("cb2", $arr, $arr));
var_dump(array_map(null, $arr));
var_dump(array_map(null, $arr, $arr));
?>
The above example will output:
array(1) { ["stringkey"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(5) "value" } } array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "value" [1]=> string(5) "value" } } array(1) { ["stringkey"]=> string(5) "value" } array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "value" [1]=> string(5) "value" } }

The following takes an array of objects, and returns the result of calling a member function on each object. So if I have an array of objects that all have a getName() method, calling array_map_objects("getName", $thingies) will return the array filled with the getName() value for each object.
<?php
function array_map_objects($member_function, $array) {
$values = array();
if(is_string($member_function) && is_array($array)) {
$callback = create_function('$e', 'return call_user_func(array($e, "' . $member_function .'"));');
$values = array_map($callback, $array);
}
return $values;
}
?>

Here is a simple way to highlight the matched words in the search results:
<?php
function highlight($word) {
static $num = 1;
return '<span class="word' . $num++ . '">' . $word . '</span>';
}
$text = "ala bala nica turska panica";
$search = "bala turska";
$words = explode(' ', $search);
echo str_replace($words, array_map("highlight", $words), $text);

Wish this was built in. Mimics Ruby and Prototype's array pluck function. Returns specific key/column from an array of objects.
<?php
function array_pluck($key, $array)
{
if (is_array($key) || !is_array($array)) return array();
$funct = create_function('$e', 'return is_array($e) && array_key_exists("'.$key.'",$e) ? $e["'. $key .'"] : null;');
return array_map($funct, $array);
}
// usage:
$a = array(array("id"=>10, "name"=>"joe"), array("id"=>11, "name"=>"bob"));
$ids = array_pluck("id", $a); // == array(10,11)
$names = array_pluck("name", $a); // == array("joe", "bob")
//works on non-keyed arrays also:
$a = array(array(3,4), array(5,6));
$col2 = array_pluck(1,$a); // == array(4,6) (grab 2nd column of data)
?>

I was miffed that array_map didn't have a way to pass values *and* keys to the callback, but then I realized I could do this:
function callback($k, $v) { ... }
array_map( "callback", array_keys($array), $array);

Could also use things like...
array_keys(); and array_values(); offcourse...
However it's just an example off recursion via this function..
Which I found pretty handy at times dealing with arrays..
could also use:
<?php
call_user_func(array($this, __FUNCTION), $args);
?>
or
<?php
call_user_fuc_array(array($this, __FUNCTION__), $array);
?>
or
<?php
class{
public function __construct($arg){
if(is_array($arg)){
new self($arg);
}
else{
echo $arg.'<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
?>
Anyway.. plenty off examples..
It was just an idea for others...

this function is really nice for recursion in php!!!
example in a class:
<?php
class test{
//private $container = array();
final public function add($key, $value){
/* recursion */
if(is_array($value)){
array_map(array($this, __FUNCTION__), array_keys($value), array_values($value));
}
/* procedural */
else{
echo $key.' => '.$value.'<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
// do stuff...
// if(!isset($this->container[$key])){
// $this->container[$key] = $value;
// }
//else{ // trigger_error() xor throw new Exception?
// echo 'allready exists!<br/>'.PHP_EOL;
//}
}
}
}
//
$array = array (
'one' => 'value1',
'two' => 'value2',
'three' => 'value3'
);
$t = new test;
$t->add($array);
?>
you could easiely do this without a class too offcourse!

This function behaves exactly like array_map but additionally does not reject non-array arguments. Instead, it transforms them with the array_fill function to a constant valued array of required length according to the other array arguments (if any) and executes the original array_map function.
<?php
function array_map2() {
$args = func_get_args();
$callback = array_shift($args);
$args = array_map(
create_function('$a,$max','return is_array($a)? $a: array_fill(0,$max,$a);'),
$args,array_fill(0,count($args),array_reduce($args,
create_function('$v,$w','return max($v,is_array($w)? count($w): 1);'))));
array_unshift($args,$callback);
return call_user_func_array("array_map",$args);
}
?>
Example:
<?php
$get = "first=value1&second=value2&third=value3";
print_r(array_map2("explode","=",explode("&",$get)));
?>
would print out:
<?php
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => first
[1] => value1
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => second
[1] => value2
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => third
[1] => value3
)
)
?>

Maybe this one will be useful for someone:
function array_map_helper($mapper, $array) {
$mapper = preg_replace('/^return (.*?);$/', '$1', trim($mapper));
$result = array();
if (preg_match('/(\(?)(.*?)\s*=>\s*(.*?)(\)?)$/', $mapper, $matches)) {
list($full_found, $array_open, $left, $right, $array_close) = $matches;
if ($array_open && $array_close) {
$mapper = '$result[] = array' . $full_found . ';';
} else {
$mapper = '$result[' . $left . '] = ' . $right . ';';
}
} else {
$mapper = '$result[] = ' . $mapper . ';';
}
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
eval($mapper);
}
return $result;
}
should be used like:
$array = array(array('foo' => 11, 'bar' => 22),
array('foo' => 111, 'bar' => 222),
array('foo' => 1111, 'bar' => 2222));
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"] => $value["bar"]', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[11]=>
int(22)
[111]=>
int(222)
[1111]=>
int(2222)
}
or
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"]', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[0]=>
int(11)
[1]=>
int(111)
[2]=>
int(1111)
}
or
$mapped = array_map_helper('$value["foo"] + $value["bar"] . " at position $key"', $array);
var_dump will give
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(16) "33 at position 0"

Hi benjaminhill,
You can apply a method of a instantiated class to array_maps as follows:
class Maths {
function addOne($input) {
return ($input + 1);
}
}
$maths = new Maths();
$sum = array_map(array($maths, \\\'addOne\\\'), array(1, 2));
// where $maths is the object which has been instantiated before and addOne is its method without its own parameters
var_dump($sum);
The code fragment will return:
array
0 => 2
1 => 3
However, I love a syntax like this:
$sum = array_map($maths->addOne($this), array(1, 2));
where $this should be interpreted as each values extracted from the subsequent array, which in this case is array(1, 2).
This syntax reminds me of Javascript syntax.
PHP\\\'s callback mechanism should be improved.
26-Aug-2005 04:57
Here's a function, very helpfull to me, that allows you to map your callback on mixed args.
<?php
function array_smart_map($callback) {
// Initialization
$args = func_get_args() ;
array_shift($args) ; // suppressing the callback
$result = array() ;
// Validating parameters
foreach($args as $key => $arg)
if(is_array($arg)) {
// the first array found gives the size of mapping and the keys that will be used for the resulting array
if(!isset($size)) {
$keys = array_keys($arg) ;
$size = count($arg) ;
// the others arrays must have the same dimension
} elseif(count($arg) != $size) {
return FALSE ;
}
// all keys are suppressed
$args[$key] = array_values($arg) ;
}
// doing the callback thing
if(!isset($size))
// if no arrays were found, returns the result of the callback in an array
$result[] = call_user_func_array($callback, $args) ;
else
for($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
$column = array() ;
foreach($args as $arg)
$column[] = ( is_array($arg) ? $arg[$i] : $arg ) ;
$result[$keys[$i]] = call_user_func_array($callback, $column) ;
}
return $result ;
}
?>
Trying with :
<?php
// $_GET is ?foo=bar1-bar2-bar3&bar=foo1
print_r(array_smart_map('explode', '-', $_GET)) ;
?>
Returns :
array(
[foo] => array(
0 => bar1
1 => bar2
2 => bar3
)
[bar] => array(
1 => foo1
)
)

You can pass values to array_map by reference, essentially allowing you to use it as you would array_walk with multiple arrays as parameters.
A trivial example:
<?php
$a = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$add_func = create_function('&$x, $y', '$x+=$y;');
array_map($add_func, $a, $a);
print_r($a);
?>
Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 10
)

The following function does exaclty the same thing of array_map. However, maintains the same index of the input arrays
<?php
function array_map_keys($param1,$param2,$param3=NULL)
{
$res = array();
if ($param3 !== NULL)
{
foreach(array(2,3) as $p_name)
{
if (!is_array(${'param'.$p_name}))
{
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Argument #'.$p_name.' should be an array',E_USER_WARNING);
return;
}
}
foreach($param2 as $key => $val)
{
$res[$key] = call_user_func($param1,$param2[$key],$param3[$key]);
}
}
else
{
if (!is_array($param2))
{
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Argument #2 should be an array',E_USER_WARNING);
return;
}
foreach($param2 as $key => $val)
{
$res[$key] = call_user_func($param1,$param2[$key]);
}
}
return $res;
}
?>
For instance:
<?php
$arr1 = array(
'3' => 'a',
'4' => 'b',
'5' => 'c'
);
$arr2 = array(
'3' => 'd',
'4' => 'e',
'5' => 'f'
);
$arr3 = array_map_keys(create_function('$a,$b','return $a.$b;'),$arr1,$arr2);
print_r($arr3);
?>
The result will be:
Array
(
[3] => ad
[4] => be
[5] => cf
)

If you need to call a static method from array_map, this will NOT work:
<?PHP
array_map('myclass::myMethod' , $value);
?>
Instead, you need to do this:
<?PHP
array_map( array('myclass','myMethod') , $value);
?>
It is helpful to remember that this will work with any PHP function which expects a callback argument.

array_map works also fine with create_function:
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$b = array_map(create_function('$n', 'return $n*$n*$n;'), $a);
print_r($b);
?>
if you want to manipulate the elements of the array, instead to on a copy,
than take a look at array_walk:
<?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
array_walk($a, create_function('&$n', '$n = $n*$n*$n;'));
print_r($a);
?>
The Result of both is:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 8
[2] => 27
[3] => 64
[4] => 125
)

Occasionally, you may find that you need to pull out a column (or several) from an array. Here's a map-like function to do that:
<?php
function &array_shear(&$arrays, $idx1 /* ... */) {
$indexes = func_get_args();
array_shift($indexes);
$newArrays = array ();
foreach (array_keys($arrays) as $arrayKey) {
$newArray = array ();
foreach ($indexes as $index) {
$newArray[$index] = $arrays[$arrayKey][$index];
unset($arrays[$arrayKey][$index]);
}
$newArrays[$arrayKey] = $newArray;
}
return $newArrays;
}
?>
So, doing this:
<?php
$t1 = array (
2 => array ('a', 'b', 'c'),
1 => array ('d', 'e', 'f'),
5 => array ('g', 'h', 'i'),
);
$t2 = array_shear($t1, 1, 0);
?>
will result in:
<?php
$t1 = array (
2 => array ( 2 => 'c', ),
1 => array ( 2 => 'f', ),
5 => array ( 2 => 'i', ),
);
$t2 = array (
2 => array ( 1 => 'b', 0 => 'a', ),
1 => array ( 1 => 'e', 0 => 'd', ),
5 => array ( 1 => 'h', 0 => 'g', ),
);
?>

A note when doing something allong the lines of:
<?php
class foo {
var $var;
function bar() {
array_map(array($this, "baz"), array(1,2,3));
}
function baz($arg) {
$this->var = $this->var + $arg;
}
}
?>
This will *not* work as expected. You need to pass $this by reference as with:
array_map(array(&$this, "baz"), array(1,2,3));
or you'll be making a copy of the object each time, changing a value, then throwing the result away.

Here is a better, more true version of a deep array_map. The only negative of this function is that the array is passed by reference, so just be aware of that. (patches welcome)
<?php
function array_map_deep(&$in_array, $in_func, $in_args = array(), $in_index = 1) {
// fix people from messing up the index of the value
if ($in_index < 1) {
$in_index = 1;
}
foreach (array_keys($in_array) as $key) {
// we need a reference, not a copy, normal foreach won't do
$value =& $in_array[$key];
// we need to copy args because we are doing
// manipulation on it farther down
$args = $in_args;
if (is_array($value)) {
array_map_deep($value, $in_func, $in_args, $in_index);
}
else {
array_splice($args, $in_index - 1, $in_index - 1, $value);
$value = call_user_func_array($in_func, $args);
}
}
return $in_array;
}
?>
This is a neat function because you can pass an array, a function, and an array of parameters, and finally, and index of where in the array of parameters for the callback function the contents you are mapping should get replaced. This index is human based (starts at 1), and can be used in something like a preg_replace callback, where the contents must be the 3rd index. Enjoy!
