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.
array_walk
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
array_walk — Esegue una funzione su ogni elemento dell'array
Descrizione
Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.
Esegue la funzione definita dall'utente identificata da funzione
su ogni elemento di array. Normalmente
funzione accetta due parametri.
Il valore del parametro array viene passato per primo,
la chiave/indice per secondo. Se il parametro datiutente
è specificato, verrà passato come terzo parametro alla
funzione callback.
Se funzione richiede più parametri di
quanti gliene vengono passati, un errore di livello
E_WARNING verrà generato ogni volta che array_walk()
la chiama. Questi avvertimenti possono essere soppressi
apponendo l'operatore d'errore
@ alla
chiamata di array_walk(), oppure usando
error_reporting().
Nota:
Se
funzionedeve lavorare con i reali valori dell'array, specificare che il primo parametro difunzionedeve essere passato come riferimento. A qesto punto ogni modifica a questi elementi verrà effettuata sull'array stesso.
Nota:
Il passaggio della chiave e di
datiutenteafuncè stato aggiunto nella versione 4.0.
array_walk() non è influenzato dal puntatore
interno dell'array array.
array_walk() percorrerà l'intero array
indipendentemente dalla posizione del puntatore. Per reinizializzare il puntatore, utilizzare
reset(). In PHP 3,
array_walk() reinizializza il puntatore.
Gli utenti non possono modificare l'array attraverso la funzione di callback, ad esempio aggiungere/togliere un elemento, o cancellare l'array su cui array_walk() è applicata. Se l'array viene cambiato, il comportamento di questa funzione non è definito ed è imprevedibile.
Example #1 esempio di array_walk()
<?php
$frutta = array("d"=>"limone", "a"=>"arancia", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"mela");
function modifica(&$elemento1, $chiave, $prefisso)
{
$elemento1 = "$prefisso: $elemento1";
}
function stampa($elemento2, $chiave)
{
echo "$chiave. $elemento2<br />\n";
}
echo "Prima ...:\n";
array_walk($frutta, 'stampa');
array_walk($frutta, 'modifica', 'frutto');
echo "... e dopo:\n";
array_walk($frutta, 'stampa');
?>Il risultato del programma sarà:
Prima ...: d. limone a. arancia b. banana c. mela ... e dopo: d. frutto: limone a. frutto: arancia b. frutto: banana c. frutto: mela

Calling an array Walk inside a class
If the class is static:
array_walk($array, array('self', 'walkFunction'));
or
array_walk($array, array('className', 'walkFunction'));
Otherwise:
array_walk($array, array($this, 'walkFunction'));

I noticed that :
PHP ignored arguments type when using array_walk() even if there was
declare(strict_types=1) .
See this code as an example ...
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
$fruits = array("butter" => 5.3, "meat" => 7, "banana" => 3);
function test_print(int $item2, $key) {
echo "$key: $item2<br />\n";
}
array_walk($fruits, 'test_print');
?>
The output is :
butter: 5
meat: 7
banana: 3
whilst the expecting output is :
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to test_print() must be of the type integer
because "butter" => 5.3 is float
I asked someone about it and they said "this was caused by the fact that callbacks called from internal code will always use weak type". But I tried to do some tests and this behavior is not an issue when using call_user_func().

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.

There is a note about 3 years ago regarding using this for trimming. array_map() may be cleaner for this. I haven't checked the time/resource impact:
$result = array_map("trim", $array);

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']);
?>

Don't forget about the array_map() function, it may be easier to use!
Here's how to lower-case all elements in an array:
<?php
$arr = array_map('strtolower', $arr);

For those that think they can't use array_walk to change / replace a key name, here you go:
<?php
function array_explore(array &$array, callable $callback)
{
array_walk($array, function(&$value, $key) use (&$array, $callback)
{
$callback($array, $key, $value);
if(is_array($value))
{
array_explore($value, $callback);
}
});
}
/**

*/
function renameKey(array &$data, $oldKey, $newKey, $ignoreMissing = false, $replaceExisting = false)
{
if (!empty($data))
{
if (!array_key_exists($oldKey, $data))
{
if ($ignoreMissing)
{
return FALSE;
}
throw new \Exception('Old key does not exist.');
}
else
{
if (array_key_exists($newKey, $data))
{
if ($replaceExisting)
{
unset($data[$newKey]);
}
else
{
throw new \Exception('New key already exist.');
}
}
$keys = array_keys($data);
// Fix from EllisGL: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php#122377
$keys[array_search($oldKey, array_map('strval', $keys))] = $newKey;

return TRUE;
}
}
return FALSE;

$array = [

If you want to unset elements from the callback function, maybe what you really need is array_filter.

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.

// We can make that with this simple FOREACH loop :
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
foreach($fruits as $cls => $vls)
{
$fruits[$cls] = "fruit: ".$vls;
}

Since array_walk cannot modify / change / reindex keys as already mentioned, i provide this small wrapping function which accomplishes passing array reference and index using closures , "use" keyword.
function indexArrayByElement($array, $element)
{
$arrayReindexed = [];
array_walk(
$array,
function ($item, $key) use (&$arrayReindexed, $element) {
$arrayReindexed[$item[$element]] = $item;
}
);
return $arrayReindexed;
}

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);
}
?>

$array[0] = 'test_1';
$array[1] = 'test_2';
array_walk($array, function(&$val){
$val .= '__';

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>

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

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);

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.

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;
});
?>

The output of the example is only correct if viewed through a web browser. If you pass it through to PHP-CLI, you will get to see the additional HTML line breaks, however.

You can change the key or value with array_walk if you use the temporal returned array in global inside the function. For example:
$array = ['a'=>10, 'b'=>20];
$sequence = array ();
$newArray = array_values(array_walk($array, 'fn'));
function fn(&$val,$key){
global $sequence;
$sequence [] = $val;
}
No need to concern about the place of the internal pointer for the baby array. You have now rewinded, 0 based new array, string key one instead.

Hello,
If you want to add values with same key from two arrays :
<?php
function add(&$item,$key,$search) {
$item += (is_array($search))?((isset($search[$key]))?$search[$key]:0):0;
}
$a = ["orange" => 2, "banana" => 3, "apple" => 1];
$b = ["orange" => 1, "apple" => 4];
array_walk($c,"add",$b);
echo "<pre>".print_r($c,true)."</pre>";
?>
This will output:
"orange" => 3,
"banana" => 3,
"apple" => 5

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!

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...

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);

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 ) )
?>

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...

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.

Filter an array by using key.
<?php
$product_1 = 'test';
$product_2 = 'test 2';
function array_key_filter($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
)
