Applies the user-defined
callback
function to each element of the
array
array.
array_walk()
is not affected by the internal array pointer of
array
.
array_walk()
will walk through the entire array regardless of pointer position.
Parameters
array
The input array.
callback
Typically,
callback
takes on two parameters. The
array
parameter's value being the first, and the key/index second.
Note
:
If
callback
needs to be working with the actual values of the array, specify the first parameter of
callback
as a reference. Then, any changes made to those elements will be made in the original array itself.
Note
:
Many internal functions (for example
strtolower()
) will throw a warning if more than the expected number of argument are passed in and are not usable directly as a
callback
.
Only the values of the
array
may potentially be changed; its structure cannot be altered, i.e., the programmer cannot add, unset or reorder elements. If the callback does not respect this requirement, the behavior of this function is undefined, and unpredictable.
arg
If the optional
arg
parameter is supplied, it will be passed as the third parameter to the
callback
.
Return Values
Returns
true
.
Errors/Exceptions
As of PHP 7.1.0, an
ArgumentCountError
will be thrown if the
callback
function requires more than 2 parameters (the value and key of the array member), or more than 3 parameters if the
arg
is also passed. Previously, in this case an error of level E_WARNING would be generated each time
array_walk()
calls
callback
.

Description
8.0.0
If
callback
expects the second or third parameter to be passed by reference, this function will now emit an
E_WARNING
.
Examples
Example #1
array_walk()
example
<?php$fruits=array("d"=>"lemon","a"=>"orange","b"=>"banana","c"=>"apple");functiontest_alter(&$item1,$key,$prefix){$item1="$prefix: $item1";}functiontest_print($item2,$key){echo"$key. $item2\n";}echo"Before ...:\n";array_walk($fruits,'test_print');array_walk($fruits,'test_alter','fruit');echo"... and after:\n";array_walk($fruits,'test_print');?>
The above example will output:
Before ...:
d. lemon
a. orange
b. banana
c. apple
... and after:
d. fruit: lemon
a. fruit: orange
b. fruit: banana
c. fruit: apple
Example #2
array_walk()
example using anonymous function
Applies the user-defined
callback
function to each element of the
array
. This function will recurse into deeper arrays.
Parameters
array
The input array.
callback
Typically,
callback
takes on two parameters. The
array
parameter's value being the first, and the key/index second.
Note
:
If
callback

as a reference. Then, any changes made to those elements will be made in the original array itself.
arg
If the optional
arg
parameter is supplied, it will be passed as the third parameter to the
callback
.
Creates an array containing variables and their values.
For each of these,
compact()
looks for a variable with that name in the current symbol table and adds it to the output array such that the variable name becomes the key and the contents of the variable become the value for that key. In short, it does the opposite of
extract()
.
Note
:
Before PHP 7.3, any strings that are not set will silently be skipped.
Parameters
var_name
var_names
compact()
takes a variable number of parameters. Each parameter can be either a string containing the name of the variable, or an array of variable names. The array can contain other arrays of variable names inside it;
compact()
handles it recursively.
Return Values
Returns the output array with all the variables added to it.
Errors/Exceptions
compact()
issues an E_NOTICE level error if a given string refers to an unset variable.
