array_walk_recursive
to array_walk with a function defined in a class, try this:
<?php
// An example callback method
class MyClass {
static function myCallbackMethod($data) {
return $data.$data;
}
}
$my_array = array('one','two','three');
// Static class method cal
array_walk($my_array,array('MyClass', 'myCallbackMethod'));
?>
returns array('oneone','twotwo','threethree');

array_walk
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
array_walk — Wendet eine Benutzerfunktion an jedem Element eines Arrays an
Beschreibung
Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück, im Fehlerfall FALSE.
Wendet die mittels funcname angegebene Benutzerfunktion für jedes Element von array an. funcname benötigt zwei Parameter. Der Wert von array wird als erster übergeben, und der Schlüssel/Index als zweites. Ist der optionale Parameter userdata angegeben, so wird er als dritter Parameter an die Funktion funcname übergeben.
Sollte funcname mehr als die ihr übergebenen Parameter benötigen, wird bei jedem Aufruf von funcname seitens 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.
Hinweis: Wenn funcname direkt mit den Werten des Arrays arbeiten soll, spezifizieren Sie den ersten Parameter von funcname als Referenz. Dann werden alle Änderungen an diesen Elementen direkt in dem originalen Array durchgeführt.
Die Modifizierung des Arrays aus funcname heraus könnte ein unvorhersehbares Verhalten hervorrufen.
Hinweis: Die Übergabe des Schlüssels und von userdata an funcname wurde mit PHP 4.0.0 eingeführt.
array_walk() ist nicht von dem internen Arrayzeiger von array betroffen. array_walk() geht ungeachtet der Zeigerposition das gesamte Array durch.
Von der Benutzerfunktion aus darf das Array selbst nicht geändert werden, wie zum Beispiel durch Hinzufügen oder Löschen eines Elementes, etc. Wird das auf array_walk() angewendete Array geändert, so ist das Verhalten dieser Funktion undefiniert und unvorhersagbar.
Beispiel #1 array_walk()
<?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

I just wanted a function to trim all the array elements. Here is a non-recursive version:
<?php
$data = array(' a',' b',' c d ');
function _trim(&$value)
{
$value = trim($value);
}
function array_trim($arr)
{
array_walk($arr,"_trim");
return $arr;
}
$arr = array_trim($data);
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($arr);
echo '</pre>';
$single = implode(' ',$arr);
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($single);
echo '</pre>';
?>
Output:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(1) "a"
[1]=>
string(1) "b"
[2]=>
string(10) "c d"
}
string(14) "a b c d"

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
}

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.
<?php
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.

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);

The array() keyword is a language construct, not a function, so I don't think this is applicable.

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.

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.

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:
<?php
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.

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
}
}

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.

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,
