array_walk_recursive() cursive() function

PHP Array function
array_walk() function applies a callback function to each element in the array. Returns TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise. The
array_values() function returns an array containing all key values in the given array, but does not retain the key names.
array_unshift() function inserts one or more elements at the beginning of the array. The
array_unique() function removes duplicate values from the array and returns the resulting array.
array_uintersect_assoc() function calculates the intersection of arrays with index check, and uses callback function to compare data.
array_uintersect() function calculates the intersection of arrays and uses callback functions to compare data.
array_udiff_uassoc() function returns the part that exists in the array1 array but does not exist in other arrays. The key names in the returned array remain unchanged.
array_udiff_assoc() function returns the part that exists in array1 but does not exist in other arrays. The
array_udiff() function returns an array that includes all values in the compared array but not in any other parameter array, and the key names remain unchanged.
array_sum() function returns the sum of all values in the array. The
array_splice() function is similar to the array_slice() function, selecting a series of elements in the array, but instead of returning them, it deletes them and replaces them with other values. The
array_slice() function takes out a segment of value from the array based on conditions and returns it.
array_shift() function deletes the first element in the array and returns the value of the deleted element.
array_search() function is the same as in_array(), searching for a key value in the array. If the value is found, the key of the matching element is returned. If not found, returns false.
array_reverse() function reverses the order of elements in the original array, creates a new array and returns it. If the second parameter is specified as true, the element's key name remains unchanged, otherwise the key name is lost. The
array_reduce() function uses a callback function to iteratively reduce an array to a single value. If a third argument is specified, it will be treated as the first value in the array, or as the final return value if the array is empty. The
array_rand() function randomly selects one or more elements from the array and returns it. The
array_push() function adds one or more elements (push) to the end of the array of the first parameter, and then returns the length of the new array.

array_keys() function returns a new array containing all the keys in the array.
The array_key_exists() function determines whether the specified key exists in an array. If the key exists, it returns true, otherwise it returns false. The
array_intersect_ukey() function uses a callback function to compare key names to calculate the intersection of arrays. The
array_intersect_uassoc() function uses a user-defined callback function to calculate the intersection of arrays and uses the callback function to compare the indices. The
array_intersect_key() function uses key name comparison to calculate the intersection of arrays.
array_intersect_assoc() function returns the intersection array of two or more arrays.
array_intersect() function returns the intersection array of two or more arrays. The
array_flip() function returns a reversed array. If the same value appears multiple times, the last key name will be used as its value, and all other key names will be lost. The
array_filter() function uses a callback function to filter the elements in the array. If the custom filter function returns true, the current value of the operated array will be included in the returned result array, and the result will be formed into a new array. If the original array is an associative array, the key names remain unchanged. The
array_fill() function fills the array with the given value. The returned array has number elements and the value is value. The returned array is numerically indexed, starting at the start position and increasing. If number is 0 or less than 0, an error occurs.
array_diff_ukey() returns an array that contains the values of all keys that appear in array1 but do not appear in any other parameter array. Note that the relationship remains unchanged. Unlike array_diff(), the comparison is based on keys rather than values. The

array_diff_key() function returns an array containing all keys that are in the compared array but are not in any other parameter array.

array_diff() function returns the difference array of two arrays. This array contains all keys that are in the array being compared, but are not in any of the other argument arrays. The
array_count_values() function is used to count the number of occurrences of all values in the array. The
array_combine() function creates a new array by merging two arrays, one of which is the key name, and the value of the other array is the key value.
array_chunk() function splits an array into new array chunks.
array_change_key_case() function converts all KEYs in the array to uppercase or lowercase.
array() creates an array with keys and values. If the key is omitted when specifying the array, an integer key is generated that starts at 0 and increments by 1.
