You might have a multidimensional array in PHP that you might need to flatten to make it easier to work with. Let’s take the example “myArray”.
As you see from the code block below, you can create a temporary object and then from there you use array_walk_recursive to flatten the array into an easy to use format.
$objTmp = (object) array('aFlat' => array());
array_walk_recursive($myArray, create_function('&$v, $k, &$t', '$t->aFlat[] = $v;'), $objTmp);
It’s really easy to get a LAMP webserver up and running, so I thought I’d post some nice easy instructions for installing on a Ubuntu box.
1) sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
-> you will need to choose a MySQL Root user password
2) sudo apt-get install apache2
-> confirm in your browser that you are able to view a page for your IP address. This could be localhost, or your local IP address.
3) sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
-> you’re going to need to install PHP next as above.
4) /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-> …and of course an Apache restart so that PHP is activated
5) sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
-> you’re going to be asked which webserver to configure. go for apache2. it’ll then probably request your password you selected for MySQL.
6) vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
-> use your favorite editor to open up the apache config file
7) Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
-> add the following somewhere in the file.
8) /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
9) http://yourhomepage.com/phpmyadmin
-> test 🙂
