Functions --------- [](#functions) - [array\_some](##array_some) - [array\_every](##array_every) - [array\_find](##array_find) - [array\_sort](##array_sort) - [array\_flat](##array_flat) - [array\_entries](##array_entries) - [array\_from\_entries](##array_from_entries) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) ### array\_some [](#array_some) --- #### Definition [](#definition) ``` array_some( callable $callback, array $array ) : bool ``` The array\_some function checks if any elements in an array pass a conditional set by a callback function and returns a boolean based on whether the condition in callback is met for at least one array item. **JS Equivilant**: *Array.some()* #### Parameters [](#parameters) - **callback** - The function to execute per iteration ``` callback( mixed $item [, int $index ] ) : bool ``` - **item** - The current iteration - **index** - The current index - **array** - The array to be iterated over #### Return Values [](#return-values) Returns a boolean based on whether the condition in callback is met for at least one array item. #### Usage [](#usage) ``` $nums = [13, 85, 15, 23]; $result = array_some(function ($num) { return $num > 60; }, $nums); // $result: TRUE ``` ### array\_every [](#array_every) --- #### Definition [](#definition-1) ``` array_every( callable $callback, array $array ) : bool ``` The array\_every function checks if all elements in an array pass a conditional set by a callback function and returns a boolean based on whether condition in callback is met for all array items. **JS Equivilant**: *Array.every()* #### Parameters [](#parameters-1) - **callback** - The function to execute per iteration ``` callback( mixed $item [, int $index ] ) : bool ``` - **item** - The current iteration - **index** - The current index - **array** - The array to be iterated over #### Return Values [](#return-values-1) Returns a boolean based on whether condition in callback is met for all array items. #### Usage [](#usage-1) ``` $nums = [13, 85, 15, 'John']; $result = array_every(function ($num) { return is_numeric($num); }, $nums); // $result: FALSE ``` ### array\_find [](#array_find) --- #### Definition [](#definition-2) ``` array_find( callable $callback, array $array ) : mixed ``` The array\_find function iterates through an array and returns the first item which meets the condition returned from the callback function. **JS Equivilant**: *Array.find()* #### Parameters [](#parameters-2) - **callback** - The function to execute per iteration ``` callback( mixed $item [, int $index ] ) : bool ``` - **item** - The current iteration - **index** - The current index - **array** - The array to be iterated over #### Return Values [](#return-values-2) Returns the first item which meets the condition returned from the callback function. If none of the items in the array meed the condtion the function NULL is returned #### Usage [](#usage-2) ``` $names = ['Sam', 'Damo', 'Kate', 'Lucy']; $result = array_find(function ($name) { return $name === 'Lucy'; }, $names); // $result: 'Lucy' ``` ### array\_sort [](#array_sort) --- #### Definition [](#definition-3) ``` array_sort( array $array [, callable $callback ] ) : array ``` The array\_sort function sorts the items of a given array based on positive, neutral or negative values returned from the callback function or if a callback is not supplied the array will be sorted based on numerical or alphabetical values. **JS Equivilant**: *Array.sort()* #### Parameters [](#parameters-3) - **array** - The array to be sorted - **callback** - A function that compares two consecutive values in the array ``` callback( mixed $first, mixed $second ) : bool ``` - **first** - The first item for comparison. - **second** - The second item for comparison. #### Return Values [](#return-values-3) The sorted array #### Usage [](#usage-3) ``` $nums = [1, 7, 3, 2, 8]; // Sort in descending order $desc_nums = array_sort($nums, function ($first, $second) { return $second - $first; }); // $desc_nums: [ 8, 7, 3, 2, 1 ] // Sort in ascending order $asc_nums = array_sort($nums); // $asc_nums: [ 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 ] ``` ### array\_flat [](#array_flat) --- #### Definition [](#definition-4) ``` array_flat( array $array [, mixed $depth = 1 ] ): array ``` The array\_flat function creates a new array with all sub-array elements added into it recursively up to the specified depth. The predifined INF constant can be passed in to indicate infinate depth. **JS Equivilant** *Array.flat()* #### Paramaters [](#paramaters) - **array** - The nested array to be flattened - **depth** - Specifies how deep a nested array structure should be flattened. Defaults to 1. #### Return Values [](#return-values-4) The new array with the sub-array values concatenated into it. #### Usage [](#usage-4) ``` $data = [ 1, 2, [ 3, 4, [ 5, 6, [ 7, 8 ] ] ] ]; $flattened_array = array_flat( $data, 2 ); // $flattened_array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, [ 7, 8 ] ]; ``` ### array\_entries [](#array_entries) --- #### Definition [](#definition-5) ``` array_entries( array $array ) : array ``` The array\_entries function returns a new array containing arrays of the keys and values of the given array **JS Equivilant**: *Object.entries()* #### Parameters [](#parameters-4) - **array** - The array whos *\[key => value\]* pairs are to be returned #### Return Values [](#return-values-5) An array of arrays containing the given arays *\[key => value\]* pairs #### Usage [](#usage-5) ``` $key_value_array = [ 'Maths' => 95, 'Physics' => 90, 'Chemistry' => 96, 'English' => 93, 'Computer' => 90 ]; $entries = array_entries($key_value_array); // $entries: [ // [ 'Maths', 95 ], // [ 'Physics', 90 ], // [ 'Chemistry', 96 ], // [ 'English', 93 ], // [ 'Computer', 90 ] // ]; ``` ### array\_from\_entries [](#array_from_entries) --- #### Definition [](#definition-6) ``` array_from_entries( array $array ) : array ``` The array\_from\_entries function restores a new *\[key => value\]* array based on the arrays provided by the given array. **JS Equivilant**: *Object.fromEntries()* #### Parameters [](#parameters-5) - **array** - The array whos arrays are to be restored to a string-keyed *\[key => value\]* format #### Return Values [](#return-values-6) A new array of keyed properties matching the given arrays items #### Usage [](#usage-6) ``` $entries = [ ['Maths', 95], ['Physics', 90], ['Chemistry', 96], ['English', 93], ['Computer', 90] ]; $key_value_array = array_from_entries($entries); // $key_value_array: [ // "Maths" => 95, // "Physics" => 90, // "Chemistry" => 96, // "English" => 93, // "Computer" => 90 // ]; ``` License ------- [](#license) MIT © [amhislop](https://github.com/amhislop) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance33 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
