Cartesian Product of N arrays

by

this is called “cartesian product”, php man page on arrays http://php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php shows some implementations (in comments).

and here’s yet another one:

function array_cartesian() {
    $_ = func_get_args();
    if(count($_) == 0)
        return array(array());
    $a = array_shift($_);
    $c = call_user_func_array(__FUNCTION__, $_);
    $r = array();
    foreach($a as $v)
        foreach($c as $p)
            $r[] = array_merge(array($v), $p);
    return $r;
}

$cross = array_cartesian(
    array('apples', 'pears',  'oranges'),
    array('steve', 'bob')
);

print_r($cross);
