[SOLVED] Append an associative element to each row of a 2d array

Append an associative element to each row of a 2d array

I have a multidimensional array:

$template = Array (
    [0] => Array ( [id] => 352 [name] => a ) 
    [1] => Array ( [id] => 438 [name] => b ) 
    [2] => Array ( [id] => 351 [name] => c ) 
)

and an array map function

function myfunction()
{
    return "[selected]=>null";
}
print_r(array_map("myfunction",$template));

which results in

Array ( 
   [0] => [selected]=>null 
   [1] => [selected]=>null 
   [2] => [selected]=>null
)

How do I map the array to get this result instead:

Array (  
    [0] => Array ( [id] => 352 [name] => a [selected] => null)  
    [1] => Array ( [id] => 438 [name] => b  [selected] => null)  
    [2] => Array ( [id] => 351 [name] => c  [selected] => null) 
)

Solution

You need to add the value to each given array (inside the callback), like:

<?php

$in = [
    [ 'id' => 352, 'name' => 'a' ],
    [ 'id' => 438, 'name' => 'b' ],
    [ 'id' => 351, 'name' => 'c' ],
];

$out = array_map(function (array $arr) {
    // work on each array in the list of arrays
    $arr['selected'] = null;

    // return the extended array
    return $arr;
}, $in);

print_r($out);
