I tried with array_wal_resursive. During this step (the array building is completed) I want to find these values (I use a static value in my example, in the real code I will use regular expressions) and assign the value of the virtually related item to the considered item. > > So in my example above, I want to have the following values after the process is done: > > $myArray[user_interface][design][my_colors][item_mumber_one] = red; // this is item number 1 > $myArray[user_interface][design][my_colors][item_mumber_two] = red; // this should be item number 2 > > The second issue here is, how do I evaluate at which point the process is exactly, because the value and the key that is transferred to the function by array_walk_recursive has only the value itself but not array path to the current item. > > Any idea how get this done?
